Scammers pose as charitable organizations, employing emotionally charged language to entice users to click on fraudulent website links, where they are urged to make contributions. 3 If you’re uncertain about an organization, consider donating to well-known humanitarian support organizations, such as United Nations relief agencies. Requests to send money should be treated with extra vigilance. Fake websites may closely resemble genuine charity sites, with the details of where to send donations being the only difference. 6 Exercise caution on social media.
