Sandy Hook School Shooting

Scam Charities Taking Advantage of Newtown Massacre

Collecting donations not being sent to Connecticut and even offering gun control petitions

The family of Noah Pozner was mourning the 6-year-old, killed in the Newtown school massacre, when outrage compounded their sorrow.

Someone they didn't know was soliciting donations in Noah's memory, claiming that they'd send any cards, packages and money collected to his parents and siblings. An official-looking website had been set up, with Noah's name as the address, even including petitions on gun control.
