And how do people who want to go into places like Biloxi Mississippi, and natural disaster destroyed area's and third world countries, find out about how to do that?

Why aren't *they* doing something in their own countries?
They should be advertising in their own countries.
Anyone who gives money to those scams is a sucker! If you want to donate money to "poor people" do it in your own country.
There's plenty of poor people in the U.S., England and Australia I guess.
