Beware of Haiti relief scams
As Kentuckians open their hearts and pocketbooks to support earthquake relief efforts in Haiti, Attorney General Jack Conway warns that scammers may try to prey on their generosity. He asks that Kentucky consumers choose carefully when considering urgent appeals for aid that may come through emails, social networking sites or even direct calls.
"I want to ensure that the generosity of Kentuckians is felt by those who are in desperate need of aid, and not lining the pockets of unscrupulous scam artists," said General Conway. "By donating to established organizations, your donation can make a difference for the scores of men, women and children of Haiti whose lives have been devastated by Tuesday’s earthquake."
