I suppose that in any situation where there is the possibility of a quick buck being made, the fraudsters crawl out of their grubby holes.
So it is more than sad that a number of agencies have felt it necessary to warn people about the emergence of false websites and fake charities claiming to organise or to fund relief efforts in Haiti where hundreds of thousands of people are in desperate need of help and where the death roll is now reckoned to be as much as 200,000.
The advice has to be to donate only to known organisations and not to respond to appeals from unknown sources and especially those received by email.
It is sound advice which should not deter anyone from doing their bit, however small, to help the unhappy and very needy people of Haiti.
