Stardate 20011020.1228 (On Screen): We got another scumwatch entry here. Someone is passing around an email scam which contains an HTML-encoded form. It claims to be from the Red Cross; you put in your credit card number and other identifying information and "make a donation" -- to the scammers, since the Red Cross has nothing to do with it. Of course, whoever does this is going to be traced, since it's not possible to get money via credit cards this way without leaving a paper trail. But in the mean time, if you want to give money to the Red Cross,
visit their web site.
