There was this message informing that the number 1900-9111110 is a hoax. Received it many times by SMS and email.

Email extract:
"Dear friends,
If you receive a SMS request you to donate to Red Cross Society through
phone, please DO NOT CALL the no. 1900-9111110.
It was confirmed with Singapore Red Cross Society that they did not
request people to make donation through telephone.
Some people may using this opportunity to cheat money.

I went to the [Mercy Relief] website which tell me to dial that number to donate $10.

So how? The kids below have no home to stay.

Stop playing all these hoax games. People are in need. Children are made homeless. It doesn't matter how much one organisation/country collects. In the end, I'm sure the $$$ will be pooled together and made to good use.
