Capitalizing on Misery

September 8, 2005

I suppose it was inevitable, but the report that scams related to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort are proliferating on the Internet is nonetheless disheartening.

ScamBusters.org, described as an Internet clearinghouse for information regarding online fraud, has identified dozens of Katrina-related frauds. Officials in Florida and Missouri are taking action against those looking to take advantage of the worst disaster in U.S. history.

For the generous, contribute only to reputable, established charities.

For the fraudsters, even the maximum punishment allowed under the law will seem insufficient.
