Sorry for this intrusion by posting this...... I've been receiving a lot of e-mails of late with regards to donations for tsunami victims from various countries including my own. Damn how they got my addie. Tho some are legit, I would advise generous people to do a check on these organisations. A friend of mine was scammed this way. I hate to make such a curse but I wish the tsunamis took them instead.......

The safe thing is for you to go to the charities you know, Red Cross, Unicef, etc. If you get an email asking for donations, it's probably fake. Apple has a nice list of links to legit charities, most of which can take a donation directly on their site.
