I felt obliged to let everyone I know about this. Police in my area are investigating a person calling people and asking them to contribute to the rescue effort in New York, particularly for the firemen. He is asking for credit card numbers and has apparently been successful in obtainin many. This person is a FRAUD and a CRIMINAL. Red Cross reps said that if anyone calls you and ask you for donations, report it to your State's attorney general ASAP. A credible organization will not solicit donations by phone or telemarketing. If you want to donate anything, you should contact the Red Cross or local bank but be careful of anyone calling.
It just goes to show you how sick people can be in trying to take advantage of a situation and of people's generosity.
