With the Coronavirus pandemic still raging on, people all over the world are doing what they can to help one another. The bad guys are hoping to use this compassion to their advantage. They are posing as charitable organizations that claim to fund research, support hospitals, or provide help to victims of the virus. Don’t be fooled!
Want to donate to real causes? Here are some tips:
- Do your research. Use a trusted website like Charity Navigator to research an organization before making donations.
- Reach out. Contact your charitable organization of choice directly by going to their website or calling your local chapter.
- Never trust a link. Even if the email appears to be sent from a legitimate organization, type the webpage into your browser instead of clicking a link provided in an email.
Stop, Look, and Think. Don’t be fooled.
