Okay, I just finished reading your link on that expose by CBS, and I am truly shocked, since I always used to have a good opinion of such charitable organizations.

It is sad to see people misusing funds meant for needy people affected by such major disasters. Similar fraud happened against the 2005 tsunami victims too, but I didn't think fraud would happen on such colossal scale by reputed organizations. Sad...

Do the due diligence before any monetary help.

Check up on non-profit organizations before interacting with them for donations, etc.:
