Chris and Colin Weir are only doing to chartible organizations and not to individuals. So, do not send your money, personal and financial information, unless you want to be scammed. Never send your personal information or money to someone who claims that you have won some prize and that you need to send money in order to claim it. This is usually the first sign that someone is attempting to scam you.
