Charity Scam

The charity scam can be especially insidious in that it plays on your compassion rather than your natural desire to profit. You are offered absolutely nothing in return for sending money to the scammer. It is said that the most successful scam is the one where the victim never realizes that he or she has been ripped-off and with this type of scam, you may never figure out that you've been taken for a ride.

These scams often land in your e-mail box in the wake of a major natural disaster, most recently, during the aftermath of the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti. Usually, they are just scammers posing as charities or churches looking for funds.
