    <p>Authorities are warning New Jersey residents to be mindful of scammers soliciting donations for Hurricane Harvey.</p> <p>The state Division of Consumer Affairs is urging residents to research charities before they donate money to any charity, especially those that will try email phishing techniques.</p> <p>"New Jersey residents are always willing to help out their neighbors when tragedy strikes, often by making donations to aid with recovery," said Attorney General Christopher S. Porrino. "Sadly, there are always those scammers who look to take advantage of disaster for their own benefit."</p> <p>If the charity is unfamiliar, check whether the group is registered with Consumer Affairs' Charities Registration Section, Porrino said. If the organization is registered or you know the organization, call directly to find out if the email notice is valid.<br></p> <hr><p><strong><em>Also See: Some Of The Many Ways You Can Help Harvey Victims</em></strong></p> <div id="MiZLXmfu" class="video-script-tag" data-player-id="iLR1mY1j"></div><script class="remove-jwplayer"></script><hr><p>Porrino said people should not be fooled by a "convincing name or professional-looking website." <br></p> <p>"Dishonest charities may use impressive names that closely resume those of legitimate organizations.</p> <p>Other tips include:</p> <ul><li>Learn about the charity's stated mission, and find out how, exactly it plans to use your money. Ask for literature and read it. Honest charities encourage you to ask questions.</li><li>Ask if the charity uses a professional fundraiser and, if so, what percentage of your contribution will actually go toward relief efforts and how much will be used to pay the fundraiser.</li><li>Social media sites can also perpetuate scams. Do not blindly give via these mediums. As with any charity, investigate the groups behind such pleas to ensure that they come from a legitimate organization.</li><li>Avoid cash donations if possible. Pay by credit card or write a check directly to the charity.</li></ul><hr><p><em>Email <a href="mailto:daniel.hubbard@patch.com">daniel.hubbard@patch.com</a>.
