Beware of Japan Disaster Scams

The Arizona Attorney General’s Office is warning Arizonans to beware of relief scams following the Japan disaster. Attorney General Tom Horne says consumers should only make contributions to reputable, established charitable organizations.

Be skeptical of anyone who asks for a donation by requesting your credit card number or bank account number over the phone.

When in doubt about an organization, call the Secretary of State’s Office or visit their website to make sure the charity is registered with the Secretary of State.
