Celebrities like john stewart, even oprah, zoom bombed in to answer their questions. I believe failure is an opportunity to move lesson from first time. John stewart told one student to start living in the moment right after he apologized for not being oprah. Pretty cool for those students. So many people wanting to give back. Its tough out there but nice to see people make them smile. We all need that, right . We do. Well, the sun is up over the bay area. I see it out my window.

But there are sadly some crooks looking to take advantage of your generosity. Consumer investigator chris chmura is here with a warning. Reporter good morning. Just because a group calls itself a charity doesnt mean it will spend your money wisely. The federal trade commission is cautioning you to watch out for scammers posing as covid19 charities. Its easy to do research to make sure your money goes to the right cause. First, ask if it is registered as a public 501c3 organization, that means they proved to the irs theyre a nonprofit. Also ask for their employer identification number. You can use that to search their tax records at irs. Gov. Ask them how are you going to spend my money . How much goes to people who need it, how much to administration, costs like salaries and fundraising. If a rep cant give you a fast and clear answer, consider giving elsewhere.
