I was listening to a radio news article the other day, and it said that within hours of hurricane Katrina hitting, fake websites started to appear taking donations. Thats pretty sick.

Yea, actually, there were many domains registered with some form of "Katrina" and "charity" or donation related words before it even hit. As soon as it was clear that Katrina was going to cause damage, the scammers prepared. How sick it is to actively try to scam and make money on someone else's downfall.

I wish I would be out some night to have a random person brag about how much they made on a disaster. I would quickly register a domain name in that person's name because they would soon need some charity of their own.
