23 California Fires being Natural
The California Wildfires of October 2007 were devastating indeed and many people want to raise money to help. Unfortunately, there are many non-legitimate Scam Artists that come out of the woodwork after big Natural Disasters collecting donations and pocketing the money. Well, as far these 23 California Fires being Natural, I am not convinced that the California fires were all Mother Nature - at least some appear to be arson.
In any case the Governor of Cal-E-Forn-E-Ah, "The Governator" has warned California citizens to be on the lookout for scams trying to collect money. Stating we will not tolerate Scam Artists or Arsons; "We will hunt them down!"
Currently, I am writing an eBook "Biking Across America" and I will have a section on raising money for a cause, thus this case study is worthy of mention. You see, Many Americans wish to help after big disasters, but they do not know how. Others know where to send money, but they do not trust big organizations and feel their contribution will be lessened if they just send money that way.
