If you live in the path of Tropical Storm Hilary, you may soon hear from people offering you the help you desperately need. And the rest of us are probably already being contacted by organizations raising money for disaster victims here, in Maui and in other wildfire-wracked communities. Unfortunately, some of the outreach will come from people who want to harm, not help. Online scammers are eager to take advantage of people's need for aid, as well as their desire to help. Using the internet's ability to conceal their true identity, they pose as government officials, charities and community groups as they try to collect money or sensitive personal information they can sell online.
