Chico Enterprise Record-Red Cross fears success may spawn phony solicitations

By E-R Staff

With private donations to the American Red Cross hurricane relief fund approaching $1 billion, the organization said its success may attract individuals who, sometimes for personal gain, only pretend to represent them.

A Red Cross chapter in South Lake Tahoe recently used local media to warn the public about a woman soliciting donations in the area whose name couldn't be found on a list of authorized representatives."
