DISASTER RELIEF SCAM

There were scam artist who took advantage of the disaster that happened in a certain country. This disaster brought misery to the people living there, a calamitous event were many people had died, homeless and lost everything they owned. Good people organized groups to extend help for those affected by sharing whatever they have at the moment.

Many relief agencies of other nations helped its other to brought relief goods for their support to ease the pain they suffered. The scene were very touchy seeing their faces.

But this scam artist has another agenda in mind. Instead of helping them, they helped themselves to earn money out of the situation. What they did was creating a charity site in the internet whose purpose is to cry for help, a plea to ask for donation from people that are openly willing to help. They will indicate where to send the money. Any donation forwarded to their site will be their own.

Those people who helped contribute something for a cause to help victims in their plight, unaware that the money they give were diverted and siphoned to their own personal account.

This is how hard the heart of this kind of person as if they are the one hit by the disaster where any help given goes directly to their own pocket.

If you want to help and the money you will send will be secured then give your donation to recognized charitable institution in their website. You can call them for your help.
