Warning!!! Fraudulent “American Red Cross” E-mail Chain Letters WASHINGTON, D.C. September 6, 2002 — The American Red Cross is aware that false e-mail hoaxes purportedly involving or benefiting the Red Cross are circulating, particularly in the form of “chain letter” e-mails. Typically, the authors of such e-mails claim to be victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks and promise that the American Red Cross will make a financial contribution on the recipient’s behalf each time the e-mail is forwarded. These e-mails are fraudulent. The American Red Cross does not use, authorize or condone such chain letter e-mails for fundraising or for any other purpose. If you receive these types of communications, please disregard them and forward the e-mail in question to Jennifer Meyer in Online Fund Raising at mokrzyckip@usa.redcross.org. The American Red Cross works very hard to stop such fraudulent activity. © Copyright 2002 The American National Red Cross. All Rights Reserved.        CONTACT US  |  SITE DIRECTORY  |  PRIVACY POLICY
