Warnings out on Hurricane Rita scams

    As Hurricane Rita heads for Texas, security experts are getting ready for the online donation scams expected to follow in its wake.

    The recent Hurricane Katrina disaster was followed not only by an outpouring of charitable giving, but also by online scams seeking to take advantage of people's generosity. Similar frauds are expected with Hurricane Rita, which is predicted to hit the Gulf Coast this weekend. Already, Internet domain names that relate to Rita and that could be used in con schemes have been registered, Websense said Thursday.

    "The names follow similar patterns to the Katrina scams," said Dan Hubbard, a senior director at the San Diego, Calif.-based Internet security company. Typically, the domains contain the name "Rita" and words such as "hurricane," "disaster," "relief" and "donations," Hubbard said.
