“KARMA – Two Things to Remember, One Never to Forget.”
In any tragedy like the Tsunami that hit Japan during the past 48 hours, The Law of Good and Bad takes effect. Here you will find the GOOD 1.)The Best in Human Beings, a response that is helpful, caring, generous, and that demonstrates the highest levels of altruistic behavior.
On the Flip side, you will sadly discover the BAD. This is exhibited by the “low life” leeches that will take advantage of ANY tragedy for their own selfish & narcissistic gain.
“ALWAYS Remember The Law of Karma: We sow what we reap, reap what we sow, these aren’t fancy words, it is very predictable, we get back 72-fold what we send out to the World..good…or bad. So Focus on Sending out The Good Karma. It is the Law of Good and Evil and The Law of Cause and Effect.” – Kevin Connell
It is already happening: fake charities, bogus charity relief scams, and the like. I remind you and all Internet users who receive appeals to donate money in the aftermath of Friday’s Tsunami and earthquake in Japan to apply a critical eye and do their due diligence before responding to those requests. The One Thing Never to Forget, The Good, The Truth, Love ALWAYS triumphs over Bad, the Lies and Hate -ALWAYS.
Past tragedies and natural disasters have prompted individuals with criminal intent to solicit contributions purportedly for a charitable organization and/or a good cause.
Therefore, before making a donation of any kind, consumers should adhere to certain guidelines, to include the following:
* Do not respond to any unsolicited (spam) incoming e-mails, including clicking links contained within those messages.
* Be skeptical of individuals representing themselves as surviving victims or officials asking for donations via e-mail or social networking sites.
* Verify the legitimacy of nonprofit organizations by utilizing various Internet-based resources that may assist in confirming the group’s existence and its nonprofit status rather than following a purported link to the site.
* Be cautious of e-mails that claim to show pictures of the disaster areas in attached files because the files may contain viruses. Only open attachments from known senders.
* Make contributions directly to known organizations rather than relying on others to make the donation on your behalf to ensure contributions are received and used for intended purposes.
* Do not give your personal or financial information to anyone who solicits contributions: Providing such information may compromise your identity and make you vulnerable to identity theft.
Anyone who has received an e-mail referencing the above information or anyone who may have been a victim of this or a similar incident should notify the IC3 via www.ic3.gov.
