OKLAHOMA CITY Okla_ Connecticut's tragedy has

Oklahoma's Attorney General
said charity scams are on the rise in the state, after officials in Connecticut received

never give personal or financial information over the phone or via email to
groups asking for contributions.

says you can go to www.ct.gov and click on, "How to Help Sandy Hook Elementary
School Shooting Victims.''
