There are those who are trying to figure out how to help the folks in Haiti. And then there are those who are trying to figure out how scam the charity-minded people.
On Friday, the FBI arrested a suburban Detroit man who impersonated an FBI agent collecting money for Haiti, WDIV news in Detroit reported.
Authorities told WDIV that Kevin Balfour, 34, of Warren, Mi., flashed a gold badge with the letters “FBI” on it and “told people he might be deployed to Haiti and that he was collecting money to help the children.”
The station reported that he also used his FBI credentials to get free food and drinks from a local bar.
