Suspected Fraud Scheme Preys on Haitian-Americans
The Embassy of Haiti in the U.S. and the Greater Washington Haiti Relief Committee (GWHRC) reported an ongoing fraud scheme promising to safely transport relatives in Haiti to the U.S. for $500 late on Friday.

The scheme preys on Haitian-Americans with valid U.S. passports. Callers are told to wire $500 through Western Union and are promised a package and confirmation number to fly to Haiti to bring back five relatives in Haiti. The embassy and relief committee strongly urge Haitian Americans to use caution when approached by any person or organization that promises flights for Haitians still on the island.

The Greater Washington Haiti Relief Committee is a coalition of local and international organizations developed with the support of the Haitian Embassy in Washington D.C. to streamline efforts during disaster relief. GWHRC was first established in 2008 to respond to the series of hurricanes that hit Haiti that year.
