Donate for Hurricane Katrina victims, but beware of charity scams
Do not donate any money to
anyone or anyone calling you on the phone, claiming to represent an organization. Do not donate any money to anyone or
any organization sending you an e-mail which requests your help and appears
to have been sent by an organization, even if it has links which take you to
the organization's legitimate web site.
Do not click
on any links in any e-mail you receive, even if it looks genuine.
Do not forward any e-mails to anyone you know, even if it seems like
a good idea. You will likely receive e-mails asking you to forward
them to everyone you know. These e-mails are always scams.
If you would like to donate money through the Internet, go directly to one
of the organizations through one of the links listed below.

Don't forget to donate to one of the organizations helping animals (listed

Katrina victims, you can evaluate the performance of legitimate charities at
