In the wake of the earthquake in Haiti, we wanted to remind you that whenever there is a major natural or other disaster, scammers begin sending out charity relief scams and other scams almost immediately. We've created a special update on what scams abound and how to protect yourself from Haiti earthquake scams here.

Please remember to donate with a reputable company, such as the American/Canadian Red Cross, The Salvation Army P/Hop (more information on the top right side of the post) or one of your own choosing. Many cell phone companies are allowing you to text an amount through your phone...in the US, Text HAITI to 90999 or Yele to 501501, in Canada text text message "Haiti" to 45678 to contribute $5 to the Salvation Army's relief effort. They will then receive a follow-up text asking for confirmation, and must text back 'yes' in order for the donation to go through. Also in Canada, Rogers and Fido customers can also donate by sending the text message "HELP" to 1291.
