Regrettably, there always seem to be unscrupulous individuals seeking to profit from a crisis and the misfortunes of others. In the wake of Tuesday's terrorist attack, authorities have warned the public to beware of telemarketers who have been fraudulently soliciting funds by claiming that the money they collect will be used to help victims and their families. According to reports, these telemarketers do not represent any recognized charitable group.
