Typhoon Haiyan Scammers

You're not really from Arizona, are you?

I'm not a law enforcement representative, but in my opinion, yes, they could serve prison for fraud if they are truly scamming people. It would depend on the severity of the crime. I'm referring to the US. I would guess most other countries would have similar laws and consequences.

Sad truth, there are many scammers using typhoon haiyan
to fool good people to donate. And there are corrupt Philippine officials
who might not send the foreign aids to the people who really need help.

I'm very much thankful to all the foreigners who help us survivors after
typhoon haiyan destroyed our city.

(This matter was however resolved by diplomatic personnel who arrived later and negotiated with Philippine government authorities.) Some hours later, the head of the Bureau of Internal Revenues (BIR) announced that relief goods from foreign countries would not be taxed if the donating agencies would officially turn them over to the Philippine government, which would in turn become the legitimate entity tasked to distribute them in the areas where they are most needed. - See more at: http://newsjunkiepost.com/2013/11/15....iY2LEfgJ.dpuf
