The National Criminal Intelligence Service (NCIS) urged people to be vigilant when making donations.

It says fraudsters are sending emails trying to gather personal or financial information to cash in on inheritance funds, asking for money to be placed in banks overseas and offering to locate loved ones.

The service also says false websites have been set up in the guise of legitimate relief organisations, one of which can affect computers with a virus if accessed.

A spokesman said: “We do not in any way wish to dissuade members of the public from donating money to the registered charity Tsunami appeals.

“But we urge them to exercise vigilance in order to prevent and disrupt these and other possible criminal scams.”

While what he did was scummy, the previous registrant wasn't much better ... according to the article, she registered the domain for economic gain and was asking $99 for it.

Just got his in my email.

GoldenPalace.com is presently maintaining a non-profit Web site, www.tsunamirelief.com that hosts links to a series of popular organizations dedicated to gathering donations to help those in this time of need. Each of these links goes directly to a specific charity: there is no middleman handling any of the donations.

The site was recently purchased through a $10,000 donation to victims of the tsunami disaster; it is expected that many more donations will result from this initial contribution.

GoldenPalace.com has started the ball rolling; we are now offering you the opportunity to help raise funds for this very worthy cause. In this mailer you will find the tools you need to spread the world about www.tsunamirelief.com. Please do what you can.

Regards,

There's some wierd stuff (and even wierder bids) on disaster related things on Ebay.

I remember a couple of years ago when the space shuttle crashed. Someone had an auction ending the day after the tragedy of a commemorative NASA patch. The starting bid was probably like $5 and the seller was likely expecting about that much. But after the crash the bids just spiked it went for multiple thousands of dollars.

PITTSBURGH A Pennsylvania man faces federal charges for allegedly trying to solicit donations for tsunami relief by sending 800-thousand phony e-mails.
Federal prosecutors say the e-mails were purported to be from a nationally known aid organization.

Matthew Schmieder was arrested in Pittsburgh Thursday. According to court documents, he planned to use any money he got to repair his car and pay bills.

According to the criminal complaint, Schmieder sent e-mails that contained three images that linked to -- or referenced Mercy Corps' server in Oregon -- and a link for donations to be sent to a PayPal account.

Officials with PayPal say the account contained 150-dollars. Its source is unclear.

Scams purporting to be seeking tsunami donations but actually going to the personal profit of the scammer can reasonably and logically use .com addresses, because their fraudulent activity is commercial in nature. Such sites don't belong in my "Domain Hall of Shame".

Legitimate sites seeking charitable donations for tsunami relief, however, do belong in my "Hall of Shame" if they improperly use .com addresses implying commerciality.

This makes a certain twisted logical sense in my own head, at least...

I wondered about that "Jewish" remark, too... was it intended as some sort of anti-Semitic attack?
