Don't fall for Japanese Tsunami charity scams

[Jack]

As we've seen on far too many occasions before, scammers think nothing of capitalising off human misery. And the disaster which has struck Japan in the last few days is no different in that regard.

The email pretends to come from the British Red Cross, using the subject line "Japan Tsunami Appeal | British Red Cross" and what appears to be a legitimate British Red Cross email address.

But it asks you to send money - via MoneyBookers - to a rather shady-looking personal Yahoo email address
