The $3,000 is being sent to Mercy Corps and the American Red Cross. Meanwhile state attorney general Rob McKenna today encouraged Washington residents to support disaster relief but cautioned contributors to be on the lookout for charity scams, including bogus solicitations by e-mail and phone. "Washington residents should not let cons exploit their generosity," McKenna said. "I encourage people to do what they can to support victims of Hurricane Katrina by donating directly to familiar charities."
