Within hours of the earthquake & tsunami in Japan, online scams were popping up on various social media sites, claiming to be charitable organizations, or to represent valid ones like the Red Cross. In addition to falsely soliciting donations via Facebook and email, these fraudulent “charities” are also used to spread malware.
So please be careful when you go to donate to a cause or offer assistance, and be sure the organization is valid.
