Bushfire Scams

I think those who take advantage of the misery caused by natural disasters like these fires by posing as charities are more culpable even than those who light fires. In many cases pyromaniacs are suffering some kind of mental illness. But to take money fraudulently by playing on people's willingness to give towards the needs of those made homeless is a purely evil pre-meditated act of selfishness and contempt for human life.
