David You're probably right, but that is what makes these scam artists so good. They make it appear that they are legit. At least this one didn't ask to have the checks made out to him, personally.

Glad to hear you're OK.

I am starting to hear that there are people taking advantage of this situation by scamming us. I am not sure, but I don't believe a single Red Cross unit would be asking for money. To be safe, just make a donation to your local Red Cross. They will get it to the right people. Wim Willem Blees, RPT Piano Technician School of Music University of Alabama
