The Better Business Bureau is urging you to be cautious when donating to a Japanese earthquake and tsunami relief charity.
The BBB warns that fraudulent charities may scam donations from Hoosiers. When donating to a charity, be cautious when relying on bloggers or other website recommendations regarding charities.
Find out who will benefit from your donation in Japan and what type of assistance will be provided. Be wary of claims that 100 percent of donations will assist Japan. Despite what an organization might claim, charities have fundraising and administrative costs and a portion of your donation will be used for those purposes.
