Scams have evolved since the days of Katrina so that Black Hat search engine manipulation is used to promote dodgy sites, Twitter tag-poisoning and even paid search engine placement ads may be brought into play to increase traffic flowing towards fraudulent domains.

Calls to take the sites that are fraudualantly using the Haiti earthquake to con donations from the public into amking down if they are clearly not associated with recognisable charities have been ignored although spokesman from isc commented that they are "keeping an eye on them" and hope to be able to protect.

If you want to avoid dirty scams stick with taking par in charity events and donating to high profile organisation to make your donations for Haiti Earthquake.
