Donating to charities in the wake of natural disasters can be a rewarding experience, but scammers are tricking donors into funneling money into their phony accounts.

Quick Tips

  • A trustworthy charity will not eagerly persuade you to donate more money.
  • Stick with charities you know and trust to ensure your donation is going to a legitimate source.
  • Don’t let anyone rush you into making a donation. That’s something scammers do.
  • Some scammers try to trick you into paying them by thanking you for a donation that you never made.
  • Scammers can change caller ID to make a call look like it’s from a local area code.
  • Some scammers use names that sound a lot like the names of real charities. This is one reason it pays to do some research before giving.
  • Scammers make lots of vague and sentimental claims but give no specifics about how your donation will be used.
