Haiti Earthquake Relief

Washington, D.C. – The FBI today reminds Internet users who receive appeals to donate money in the aftermath of Tuesday’s earthquake in Haiti to apply a critical eye and do their due diligence before responding to those requests. Past tragedies and natural disasters have prompted individuals with criminal intent to solicit contributions purportedly for a charitable organization and/or a good cause.

GIA suggests:

• UNICEF
• AMERICAN RED CROSS
• AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD SERVICE
• CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES
• OXFAM
