Please read the post on ISC if you think you have the relevant skills.

Strange way to do business.

Looks like a perfect fraud site.

Even has the left handed anti intention phrase.
"Katrina fraud continues." Why would they even say that?
The personal info goes to a site called isc.org (Yeesh!)

If this is not a fraud then the site desiger needs a long vist to the desert.

I will not comment on the validity of the request or the site, although it does appear to be a legitimate site and request. If the RedCross needed such help they would/should request it through normal channels.

If you wish to volunteer for the RedCross...CALL the REDCROSS! (1-800-help now) or visit their site http://www.redcross.org/ or http://www.stormaid.com/cc-common/CC...mpaignID=98936
or check this one:

In Texas you can call 211 to reach the HHSC/United Way hotline for donations/help/request for help etc...

San Antonio is providing shelter and help for up to 25,000 refugees right now, so I feel I may be a little closer to the problem then others...BTW : I work for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission(HHSC) I think my sources are pretty reliable.
