As someone who has worked in the aftermath on many natural disasters, I can tell you these events bring out the best in most people and unfortunately the worst in others.
This is an emotional time for many of us. St Martin holds a very special place in our hearts and seeing the devastation is emotionally traumatic. Which makes us prime targets for scammers. Because somewhere there is some scumbag sitting in an internet cafe crafting a story about how the looters have cleared the shelves of the pharmacy and selling critical medications on blackmarket....... DON'T TAKE THE BAIT!! Make sure you know who you are giving money to!
