Protecting Yourself from Online E-mail Scams
Your decision to make a donation is generous, but you need to be vigilant if you plan to make that donation based on information that was sent to you via e-mail. Scammers are looking to steal not just your money, but also your personal information. Follow these steps to protect yourself and ensure that your money gets to the causes you wish to support.

• Do Not Respond To E-mail Solicitations
  Unless you’ve signed up to receive a charity’s electronic communications, be skeptical of e-mail solicitations. Although you may receive an e-mail that appears to come from a valid organization, as a general rule legitimate organizations do not solicit funds through e-mail. Despite how official an e-mail may seem it could very well be a scam. Many scams use e-mail messages that automatically fill in the names of actual organizations and may include a link to a website not owned by the named legitimate company where you can make a donation. Do not follow any links within the message; these tend to be fake websites that are made to look like the organization's official site. E-mail solicitations may also include wording and tone to indicate that the message is from a foreign source, or give a foreign bank account where you can send your contribution. An organization requesting that you send funds to a foreign bank is always bogus. You may also notice spelling errors as in the example above.

  If you are interested in donating to the charity mentioned in the e-mail message, initiate contact directly with the organization.

• ALWAYS Search for the Organization's Web Address or Call Directly
  This will ensure that you have reached the organization for which you intend to make a donation.

• Delete Unsolicited E-mail Messages with Attachments
  Never respond to unsolicited e-mail messages, commonly referred to as SPAM. Do not open any attachments to these e-mail messages, or click on the links, even if they claim to contain pictures of a particular tragedy. These attachments are probably viruses.

• Be Wary of People That Contact You Online Claiming To Be A Victim
  Anyone alleging to be in this position is most likely part of a scam. People affected by a disaster or afflicted by a disease are in no position to contact you directly for assistance using spam programs that send e-mail from a pre-defined list of e-mail addresses.

• Seek Out The Charity’s Authorized Website
  Beware of simply typing in a name of a disaster. The results of a general web search on Google, Yahoo or another search engines may include a fraudulent site designed to look like a legitimate charity’s website. For example, even before Hurricane Katrina made landfall, criminals were setting up websites that included the keyword Katrina (such as www.katrinahelp.com and www.katrinarelief.com) in an effort to collect money and personal information. In the weeks following the devastating storm, the FBI reported that it had identified many bogus websites that were attempting to capitalize on the generous nature of Americans.

  So, how can you determine if a site is valid? Start by examining the web address. Avoid web addresses that end in a series of numbers. Also, bogus sites often ask for detailed personal information such as your social security, date of birth, or your bank account and pin information. Be extremely skeptical of these sites as providing this information makes it easy for them to steal your identity.

• Give Through A Reputable And Secure Service
  Don't be afraid to make a donation directly to the company. Each year millions of dollars in online contributions make it safely to legitimate charities and foundations. Always make sure that you’re giving to the actual organization you wish to donate your gift to.

Please call our Response Team at (800) 775-1500 if you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter.
