cellboyFraudulent Email Alert Fraudulent Email Alert
Currently, a fraudulent email posing as the American Red Cross is soliciting members of the public. The email describes the sender as “Madelyn Cox no-reply@redcrossaidinfo.us”. This is NOT a legitimate email. Do not give your personal information to this email. This and other such abuses are immediately brought to the attention of American Red Cross’ legal department. We are alerting the public as well, to ensure that donors’ personal contact details are not compromised.
Only American Red Cross and its local Red Cross Chapters are authorized to send communications or appeals to the public in American Red Cross’ name. If you receive and doubt the authenticity of any email from the Red Cross, contact us and we will verify its legitimacy for you.
The American Red Cross is not a government agency and all Red Cross disaster assistance is free thanks to the generosity of people like you. The value of your donation is increased by the fact that the ratio of volunteer Red Cross workers to paid staff is almost 36 to one. Contributions to the American Red Cross, a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, are deductible for computing income and estate taxes.
Note: I have not donated to the Red Cross for yrs due to them being a bit rude when I wanted to donate blood for 911. They rudely turned me away due to me honestly stating that I had sexual relations with men. I donate clothing/food via other sources. Am I being a drama queen? :)
