Steve Irwin - Crocodile Hunter Donations

We have been warned that there are certain people trying to say they're connected with collecting donations for Steve's Wildlife Foundation Charity.

Our TV channel 7 have placed a link on their site & the only other link to my knowledge is the Australia Zoo site. Make sure it is the right site. Last time I looked it was down.

A tragic end to a man with such a Passionate & Enthusiasm for Wildlife Conservation, Life & His Family.

Its sad that people would take advantage of situations like this. I can't say the words here I would like to about those people :wink:

Thanks for the heads up. Even though it is pretty much expected that there would be people who would take advantage- think of all the Katrina scams. One should always be careful when donating to any charity.

Yes... there is always someone.... apparently eBay is also booming with memorabilia on our Crocodile Hunter.

The flower tributes are still arriving outside the zoo..... some tv stations have likened it to the passing of Diana & John Lennon. Absolutely amazing the effect he has had on the world.

The service will be broadcast live across Australia from 9am (AEST) on Wednesday by ABC TV, the Nine Network and the Seven Network, as well as TV channels in the US and Asia.

Man, people just don't seem to care about anything other than making a quick buck. :cry:

Yes... That's true. Thankfully they caught them. The sellers on ebay who were also trying to sell the free tickets to the memorial were shut down.
