Laurie,
All the scammers and hucksters will be out in force in Queensland
after the floods, as will the fly by night tradies. Might be time to
bring back the pillory in Qld.

G'day
I've just received the following email, which has also been sent to
some other Birding-Aus subscribers. It has all the hallmarks of a
scam - see

Funds raised as at 10.20 am, 14 January 2011: $54,636,576 The
Queensland Government has launched an appeal to help fellow
Queenslanders affected by the recent floods. Many communities have
been devastated. Some families have lost everything. You can help
make a difference by donating to the Premier's Flood Relief Appeal.
The Premier has announced the establishment of a Distribution
Committee, a bi-partisan committee including representatives from
the Australian Red Cross, to manage the disbursement of the donated
funds. At this time, the Queensland Government is inviting financial
donations only. Unfortunately this appeal cannot accept donations of
goods or services. Please do not turn up directly at the evacuation
centres as they are not currently staffed to handle the donations.
If you have quality goods or items you can donate them through us, a
not-for-profit organisation that provides charities with access to
donated goods. Make a donation to the Premier’s Disaster relief
appeal using a secure payment through Western Union Money Transfer:
Send to Peter Green, C/O Department of the Premier and Cabinet
Premiers disaster Relief appeal PO Box 15185 City East QLD 4002
May God help you as you donate. Best Regards
