I believe the scammers will use this moment for their benefits to get many target people to get their money because I am sure many people want to donate their money to help Ukrainians. We should be careful and always check the wallet address and if necessary, we can ask their government if that wallet belongs to them or it is a scammer's wallet. That is our way to avoid scammers because it is not easy to detect them.
Most definitely. This is the perfect opportunity for scammers to take advantage of and scam many people. Such major tragedies, like the war in Ukraine, are events which will likely attract all sorts of fraud and phishing attempts.
So what can be done to avoid falling victim?
If you receive a suspicious message, or if you are contacted out of the blue for money, just ignore them. Never send money to a stranger requesting donations unless you know who they are.
It is also always a good idea to make sure that donations aren’t going to some sketchy organization on a "charities" site that is based outside of Ukraine or wherever the crisis is, or you will probably end up with your money going to an organization that uses it to line its own pockets.
Remember, make sure to use the legitimate site of the non-profit organization, preferably one which is based in the area that you live in. For example, the Red Cross and many other well-known charities.
