REVISED:  "Fund" was corrected due to a typo.



The Indiana Attorney General warns when considering making a donation to the Haiti earthquakerelieffund to be on guard for scams looking to prey on generous intentions.


Three things to remember to avoid Haiti recovery charity scams:


	1. Some charitable organizations use names that are very similar to those of respected organizations and may not be charities at all.  Make a donation by giving directly to a charity you know and trust.
	2. Always pay by check, not cash, and don't feel pressured to make a donation immediately.  Ask questions about the charity - legitimate organizations will mail you information about their programs.
	3. Be cautious when giving on-line.  Genuine charities do not send unsolicited emails and you should not click on links in spam messages soliciting donations.

You can contact the Indiana Attorney General website at www.indianaconsumer.com to report such activities or dial 812-948-5400.
