So this is no so wrong in a number of ways.
- Using a human disaster to make people beliving that they might help and still earn money on it. Peoples gread is usually enough to get some to fall for spam and this is now double so.
- They are also using a organisation that has had very bad reputations for other spam problems so its very bad.
I do feel very said for the world when I see this.
I have digg your web site thanks a lot for the info.
