Scam artists set up bogus charity to collect on Sandy Hook victim

They were victimized twice.

A sick scam artist set up a fake charity to collect donations on behalf of a 6-year-old victim of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, his outraged family said.

Noah Pozner’s distraught relatives learned of the bogus Web site when a friend received an e-mail asking for money to help the family. The FBI is investigating.

The message even included information about Noah’s funeral and family — but asked for donations to be sent to an address in The Bronx.

“These scammers are taking away from families and the spirits of dead kids,” fumed Noah’s uncle Alexis Haller, who asked law enforcement to find “these despicable people.”

The disturbing fraud is not the first of its kind. Similar scams surfaced after 9/11, Columbine, Hurricane Katrina and the movie-theater massacre in Aurora, Colo.
