I didn't see anything about that on the Red Cross website (maybe I didn't look closely enough) but I did see that scammers are already capitalizing on the disaster mad


Oh and welcome to the forum Harry, I don't mean to cast suspicion on you after only two posts (that wouldn't be much of a welcome) but since you just signed up yesterday and your first post was informing folks of a way they could donate that I couldn't verify...it's nothing personal, just a matter of timing and that I'm just suspicious by nature, no offense intended. The State Department feels it's legit so it probably is...


Absolutely no offense taken. I'm all in favor of a healthy amount of skepticism :-)
