FBI Warns about fake Tsunami Relief Pleas

No genealogy information here but I think this bears repeating everywhere: Even in the face of terrible disasters such as the tsunami that hit South East Asia and Africa in late December, many are finding ways to take advantage of it and make money off of it. An example is fake web sites that claim to be non-profit charitable organizations that help out the victims when they really take all the money for themselves. Other instances are e-mails or web sites written by people who claim to be survivors of the disaster and are asking for help. The FBI warns that many of these are fake and recommends people to help only via known and reputable non-profit organizations.
