Title: RE: Email Scams

Some local groups, who support the survivors of fallen policemen and fireman, are accepting funds for NYC. The Backstoppers Organization is doing this in the greater St. Louis, MO area. Hopefully, people will know about the organization before sending money.

Undoubtedly true, but almost all major fire departments have a "Widows and Orphans Fund."  I have no idea if this is a legitimate solicitation for that group or not, though.
