Earthquake donation scam revealed

The Ministry of Consumer Affairs reports that scammers are using the Christchurch earthquake as an opportunity to prey on the goodwill of Kiwis.
The emails, sent from "James McCoy" and claiming to be from "Donate4Charity NZ" use a legitimate UK-based charity organisation's name and website address.
The emails call for people to receive donated funds into their bank account from overseas for a 10 per cent cut. This is a scam.
"Please delete these emails straight away, and do not reply", advises the Ministry.
New Zealand charities can be checked on the Charities Commission's register.
