FBI: Beware Of China Earthquake E-Mails

Washington, DC (AHN) - The U.S. government is warning Internet users to beware of e-mails claiming to raise money to assist survivors of the recent earthquake in China.

The e-mails promise free vacation trips and employ fake logos of online payment services, according to the FBI.

"People should be free to make donations, just make sure you know who you are dealing with and where the donations are going," the FBI said in a statement.

In China, some people are receiving text messages claiming to be from a child and asking recipients deposit cash in a bank account.
