As I was catching up on what is going on around me
by reading the news headlines this morning I came
across across a story that reminded me some
criminals are always eager to take advantage of
disaster. For those of you wanting to make a
donation to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti,
please read this story,
FBI Warns of Bogus Haiti Online Donation
Scams
first, and make sure the donation you are making is
actually going to those victims, and not in the
pockets of some low life cyber criminal.
However, Snopes has said the messages posted on
Facebook that you can
Make
a $10 donation to the Haiti relief effort by
texting the word Haiti to 90999 are
true.
Please do be aware the $10 donation will be charged
to your cell phone bill, and NOT made by some other
charitable organization or donor.
My perusal this morning of the technology news headlines this morning also made me more aware the Google Hack has raised many concerns concerning China.
And on an Oddly Enough news note, Montenegro's only hippopotamus has escaped from the mountainous Adriatic nation's zoo.
