Avoid Hurricane Scams and Fraud

Avoid Hurricane Scams and Fraud: "The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is seeing an increase in websites soliciting for charitable donations to aid hurricane survivors. The FBI advises the following for consumers: Do not respond to any unsolicited or spam e-mails; go directly to recognized charities and aid organizations' websites instead of following a link to another site; try to verify the legitimacy of any nonprofit organization; and be cautious of any e-mails claiming to show pictures of the disaster in attached files, as these files may contain viruses."
