As Washingtonians look for ways to help those affected by the Nippon Dynawave paper mill disaster in Longview, the Attorney General’s Office Consumer Protection Division is warning residents to be on the lookout for fraudulent charity solicitations.

“Our thoughts are with the survivors and families of those killed or missing in the Longview disaster, and such a disaster makes us want to help however we can. If you are looking to donate to Longview families, please give thoughtfully and look out for potential scams or fraudulent solicitations. If you see a charity solicitation that looks suspicious, please file a complaint with our office.” – AG Brown
