NBCRightNow.com - The Oregon Department of Justice is warning people to watch out for phony charities soliciting funds for Boston Marathon victims.

The department says scammers are using disasters for personal gain, including a fake twitter account after yesterday's bombings.

Remember to never give out personal information over the phone and beware of people who want money fast.
