UK Fundraising has heard that at least two national UK charities have found that
the .org version of their domain name has been registered by someone else and that
visitors to those domain names will reach a porn site.
UK Fundraising has heard 
that at least two national UK charities have found that the .org version of their
domain name has been registered by someone else and that visitors to those domain
names will reach a porn site. We recommend that you check the .org, as opposed to
the org.uk, version of your domain name and see what comes up.

If you do not like what you see and you wish to contact one of the national charities
that is facing this problem then UK Fundraising will be happy to pass on your details
in confidence to this charity.

You can usually research a domain name owner at WHOIS servers such as [betterwhois.com.](http://www.betterwhois.com)
Contact Howard Lake if you would like your details to be passed on to one of the
affected charities.
