here is the article:
Police investigate hurricane scam
BRIEFING: AUSTIN, MINN.
Police were investigating after a woman who claimed to have been displaced from her Alabama home by a hurricane received $15,000 from a relief agency — and then disappeared.
The woman visited the Mower County chapter of the American Red Cross on Friday and said she was from Atmore, Ala., police said. She presented documentation showing that she had four school-age children.
The agency gave the woman a check for $15,000, which she cashed at Community Bank in Austin. But when Red Cross workers tried to follow up, they couldn't locate the family at the Austin address or phone number the woman provided.
Local police called Alabama police and were told the name and Atmore address the woman provided didn't exist.
