Having know, Scammers are taking chance of this moment to invade as well, it's best someone we all be guided and not fall as victims to this.
Five minutes of your time can lead to an hour, please be guided in this times.
You could share to your pals, I felt I should share this. People are lossing funds!! I'm no expert at privacy of coins buh take caution and be Cautious.

The fact that Ukraine has shared their own donation wallet addresses is more than enough to be careful. I mean if you are donating, do not donate to third parties, they have shared their official wallet addresses for the government itself, just send your money there and you will be doing fine work.

This is also proving that crypt community is a better community than wall street one. At wall street they put in money and try to turn that money into bigger amounts of money, same goes on here in crypto world as well. The difference is that while wall street guys take more risks and then spend tax payers money to get bailed out, the crypto community actually pays back to the community and makes the world a better place.

I know that Ukraine was a fundamental pillar for the Soviet Union in its time, and the best infrastructures were created there, I don't know if Putin wants to recover that phase of history that they think they lost, because Belarus is like saying an arm of RUSSIA, and another arm that maybe will go after him later will be for Finland, New Zealand, because if he achieves his goal and nobody does anything to him, then he continues like this, that is what I speculate because those countries are very rich in natural resources, I imagine that he will also be wanting to take them for that reason.

I would guess that something is done about this current situation in the smallest sense but also gave him enough trouble. Remember the 2014 war? That happened and Russia won that easily, and they didn't forced themselves this hard to continue fighting. Whereas, each passing day is another solar panel and another wind turbine erected in the European soil, which means less need for energy from Russia, which in return means less financial profit for them as well.

This is why I believe that Russia realized Ukraine will not be as easy as it used to be and that is why they will not fight with another nation. If they are having this much trouble against Ukraine, Finland would literally destroy their attacks in a single beat.

Seeing and following the news from Ukraine and Russia, I no longer know what Putin's motive is to continue waging a war that makes no sense to it, on the one hand there is a devastated country, a Russian army that is weakening more, I don't know what they are looking for, the destruction in these times is not good, the conflict is seen to be very long-term, I see that the news favors Ukraine, then I see others where they say that they favor RUSSIA, others affirm that the Russian army is very weak, The reality is that the information is already very divided, and it is difficult to establish a rational scheme, the most rational thing is that this ends and no more people suffer, be they Ukrainians, Russians, the war makes no sense.

We will never know what the correct information is, with today's war not only between the military, today's war has the intervention of the media whoever holds the media is the winner.

I always follow the news about the war between the two countries but I have not found the real reason for them to end the war even though both countries are suffering heavy losses of people and property.

Maybe what you say is true they ended it all because they wanted to take the source of the wealth.
Because to achieve the goals and purposes of their desires, they must do various ways to achieve their goals to the last point, it is not impossible for them.

This is nothing new. Scammers will take advantage of any situation to make money. There is a lot of stuff in the media people asking for money to help them escape the crisis. I have come across some on my facebook feed, pictures of women and children in distress. There is usually a writeup that they need money to save themselves. Anyone who falls for this scam has themselves to blame. I believe there is a official Ukraine Bitcoin address for donations if you're feeling generous.
Ukrainian Scam Donation Posts and Users

This is the sad reality that we should be more aware of. Whenever disasters or tragedies happen, the first thing to do is to offer help and assistance, and the scammers out there are also acting victims so they can take advantage of the situation. While this has been becoming more rampant, i even think its more inevitable. So i guess its only up to us how to take caution and be more wiser not to be scammed, always take time to research first to end up donating in an official and legit wallet address.

I appreciate the thought of warning everyone here about such threats. I just hope you make your post easier to read next time took me more time than usual to actually digest the thought of your post. You may have been in a hurry or something or are preoccupied while posting so it's understandable. Just make it better next time.

There are a huge number of scammers out there waiting for any opportunity to rise so they can capitalize on any mistake of unexpecting people. Be it generosity, carelessness or whatever. This is even more true in this industry that we are all currently in which is why people here should be more vigilant with their safety. This industry after all has had a lot of scams and hacks recorded ever since I can remember.

Events like this is what the scammers take advantage of to feast in and they mainly target the innocent citizens all in the name of help to Ukraine they developed strategies for extortion, even on the forum here I've come across two users which I can't remember their username anymore who boldly deem feet to come out requesting for such donations using their personal bitcoin address, some even claim involvement in charity work and I said to myself, is it a must? Must one do what is beyond his capacity? Then i realizes they might have hidden motives behind asking for public opinions and donations.

Prudence is the most important thing actually not only about Donations but for every step we take now because this is still the thing that must be the real basis.
specifically for Donations, maybe now donate to an account or address that has been properly verified and then it will be completely safe at least your donation can get to the right hands.
Scammers will always target no matter what happens regardless of what is harmed or really don't think about humanity Scammers will always do that

yes, scammers take this opportunity to take funds from us by donating to ukraine. Scenario scammers always take a chance when the situation is urgent, and people don't think much of it. because they only know to help their brethren who are at war. I also hope to be more careful in giving donations to our brothers and sisters.

Ukraine's government has shared an official bitcoin / Ethereum address where one should send the donation. Now if the scammers ask for donations on their own crypto addresses, then we should not send them to any other address. But unfortunately, people are so innocent that they feel sympathy for everyone who ask for donations and scammer play emotionally to fool people.

every chance the scammer will definitely be in front and superior to the original account, sometimes where is the humanity, deceiving people by taking advantage of this situation that is being talked about,
suggestions for the forum if there are open donations in this forum, they should go through verification first so that not many people lose money just because they are being cheated by those who intend to help others

Op you are right concerning your opinion. The Russia-Ukraine invasion many people will use it as an advantage to generate money for themselves claiming they are taking donations that will favour the citizens but it is untrue. If one must do any donation it is important to make sure that where the money is to be donated is genuine, people just need to be careful not to allow scammers to take advantage of them. OP thanks for letting the public get aware about this.

Really shame on those people who do not care for the innocent people dying in the war, but they only care for themselves and talking money as donations but spending them on themselves. Don't they have any fear of god Huh

This is why they are known as Bad people and being bad means they have lost every morality in them. Caring about the feelings of others is no longer a thing for them, this is why they are comfortable scamming people regardless of the situation, once they believe it is an opotunity to make some money, scamers will take it.

I feel if today's world you have to tell someone to be cautious while making payments he/she really lacks information. These sort of people will always get scammed no matter what happens, no matter how much you teach them, there will always be scammers who know how to scam someone very easily and on the other side there will always be folks who become victim of these things due to their naive nature.

Ukrainian Scam Donation Posts and Users

Some of my friends have been pestering me to check these donations links that they are seeing online to see if they are legitimate or not. Been linking them to this forum and they are not been checking my messages.

It is great that we can use Bitcoin to donate but there are these people that are taking advantage of these matters which is really tiring to see. I know that this matter is not new but with the sensitivity of what's happening, this is really absurd. Knowing the OP of this thread, we will be seeing more updates in this link so I suggest people check this thread for more info. This thread also includes the legitimate addresses set up by that the government of Ukraine.

The most easiest way to get donation scams is through cryptocurrency, because it doesn't need names or bank account #. You just need to make it look like it's legit and drop some Btc or other alts address.
Fortunately, crypto enthusiast like us doesn't easily fall for it.
We tend to look to authenticate the legitimacy of such donation links.
Good thing we have a very active forum members who has been monitoring fraudulent activities and scammers.

Thanks for these reminders Mate, I agree that we should take some measures if we want to send donations, its better to give them to the proper channels, to avoid enriching those BS scammers that always lurking around and take some advantage in the current situation involving Ukraine and Russia so just make sure that you give your donation to the right people via the right channels.
