Guest guest Posted September 12, 2001 Report Share Posted September 12, 2001 Please... In the aftermath of this terrorist tragedy here in the US, I would like to make a remark about the sad human characteristic that some people possess, and that is to take advantage of others during a crisis. Thankfully, not everyone is that pitiful to scam people, and there are many useful and wonderful ways to help and support. HOWEVER... please, please be skeptical of any unsolicited email you receive asking for money, credit card numbers, etc. from you for donations or support. There are people who have no scruples but to loot people at a vulnerable time. I have already gotten emails asking for this, with the unbelievable remark on one " antispammers support bin Laden " ! If anything, these spammers are undermining freedom by abusing the better nature of others. I hesitate to mention this except for the fact that there are good hearted people out there who want to help and do not know how they can, and might be taken in by these soulless grifters. Keep your donations straightforward; if you decide to give money, do so through your own religious affiliate or your local Red Cross. Don't send money to strangers, especially by email. Thanks for listening. Caroline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
