It is very sad to see many scammers use this pandemic to trick and scam people into sending money.
People need to be educated especially old people that can be easily scammed
the same thing as social distancing we also need to see commercials about scam attacks and how to protect yourself from
Topic: Corona virus exploited by some scammers (Read 605 times)
We all know the changes that started in the world because of the Corona virus and its risks and because of the risk of its spread, the World Health Organization asked people to stay away from the use of paper currency for a period of time in order to reduce friction between people and reduce the spread of the virus, as it asked everyone to use cryptocurrencies for a period of time Also, there are many charitable and health organizations that requested donations through the Bitcoin currency
there are one charity that i have donated here in our country and everything is legit,i once volunteered to help them in giving away the donations
to the family in depressed areas in where the most affected and needed family resides and it is good
feeling to personally hand over your own donations.

first we will not become a victim if we will make thorough research first befor giving our crypto to the allotted addresses because even in those we can find some legit transactions though must be better to at least learna bout the charity itself .

Where people donate to these organizations that are fake and the money is stolen by the fraudsters Unfortunately it is difficult to follow the addresses of these fraudsters so I hope that everyone will pay attention to this matter and not donate to any organization before verifying its authenticity and credibility
to finding them if we don't extend our effort.
Nowadays, when we look at the digital world, we can see the need for cryptocurrency. With cryptocurrency we can easily invest in different sites, keep our resources within our reach. Only nominal fees are required to buy and sell cryptocurrencies. It is possible to maintain the highest confidentiality of one's assets through cryptocurrencies. It is very easy to keep track.
It's not a surprise, scamers and criminals always misuse situations like this and try to get financial gain for themselves. It's an ideal opportunity when people are vulnerable and fall easy for such attempts. That is why education and awareness is very important, that is the only way to protect people from becoming a victims.
I just feel sad about such people who scam people even in these circumstances. Don't they have any fear that they could also have this virus ? What can be more worse than to hurt people when they are already in deep trouble by the coronavirus. They should be bought in the court of law, if anyone knows their identity.
I will not feel sorry for these people who are trying to earn money at the expense of others in such a difficult time. But these guys are very clever and clever. We notice them now because we have time to do so. When the pandemic is over, we need to take care of their money, because the scammers don't sit still ever.

As we are definitely living in a modern and online environment, we are dealing with information left and right yet unfortunately people these days can easily be swayed to open up their wallets even without verifying if the people they are dealing with can be legit or just frauds. Just one of the many obvious ironies of our times. With the use of cryptocurrency under the time of pandemic crisis, scammers and fraudsters are seeing a big opportunity to fool people around. I am sure that millions of dollars in value can be spent towards the wallets of these scammers. We should be helping people to get educated on the use of cryptocurrency and on how we can be spared from many types, forms and ways of scams.
the World Health Organization ~ asked everyone to use cryptocurrencies for a period of time Also,
where do you people get this kind of news from? i never heard any organization, let alone WHO ask people to use "cryptocurrencies" ever! bitcoin alone is not mass adopted yet to be used by people during quarantine, not to mention that adoption is practically non-existent for altcoins.
Lol! People just fabricate stuff and make them news on their own without any source, I also did not read from anywhere when world health organisation give authorization of cryptocurrencies be used for a period of time, this is self fabricated news am pretty sure of it, @op should either provide a source of this news or correct his post not to mislead people.
There are a huge number of scammers and yet many somehow miraculously send them money. I participate in 1 platform in my opinion the most decentralized through which I know for sure that my donations will get to the destination address.(https://pollopollo.org/).(this is not financial advice or advertising.this is what I use.)
Everyone has to be careful. The current situation in the world is very terrible. Corona virus has spread in almost all countries of the world. Many incomes have stopped. Due to this, online scammers have also increased. In different ways they are sitting on the net. A little caution can save us from all these scammers. Everyone stay home and stay safe.
There are obvious red flags when scammers attack and I think educating people about it especially older people because most of them do not know much about computer and most of them are the targets of this attacks and scams. The most common red flag is when they e-mail you and they claim to be from the government or any institute, this is the biggest red flag for me because government institutes do not personally e-mail their citizens. We can't blame this scammers though because they too are desperate and this is the only oppurtunity given to them unless you are a grade A psychopath and you do it for the thrill and misery of other people. the World Health Organization ~ asked everyone to use cryptocurrencies for a period of time Also,

I don't donate money to any Charity organization I don't know. Whenever I am donating to a charity, it must be one that I know very much and I'm sure they are legit. If it's to all these ones that are popping out from nowhere and expecting donations from people, nah I don't give to them. Any organization that wants to build itself must start locally and grow to a worldwide level.
You don't just come out from nowhere and claim to be a charity organization and expect people to donate to you, no it doesn't work that way. And most of the donations I make are to the charities in my locality and to orphanages. Sometimes I go directly to them to make my donations.
The problem is that some scammers pretend to be representatives of the most famous organizations, including the WHO. Sometimes it's easy to spot a scam like that, but if it comes from what looks like an official corporate email of the WHO, and asks for a donation of some BTC to the address they provide, many can be inclined to believe that's the real deal.You don't just come out from nowhere and claim to be a charity organization and expect people to donate to you, no it doesn't work that way.

Those who take donations in the name of covid-19 donations and later do not distribute them to the needy, I think those people if spotted should be put into jail. They are criminals and should be dealt with legal actions against them.
This is expected from people whose job are to only take advantage on the situation.
In the form of donation, they will target this, but we should be aware as money is very important these days.
Scammers will not succeed if people are educated with the type of scams, we will not stop educating ourselves so these scammers will be tired of doing their thing until they stop.

There is also a warning coming from FTC, COVID-19 Consumer Warnings and Safety Tips. And as long as the pandemic is not completely eradicated, cyber criminals are going to used it as leverage to scam people out. So everyone should protect by educating themselves, specially not clicking any covid related news in your inbox. Like mails asking for your info or insisting that you visit a website to download something.

How on earth anyone take advantage of the pandemic situation and make money out of it. The only solution to this is that before giving any donation or charity to any individual or organization, one need to carefully verify if they are legit or not.

It's easy to spot whether real or not since we can see those legit's well presented,documented as well known by the public and we should always careful for new platforms seeking for donations since some of them are scammers, to avoid these we shouldn't go with new to our eyes if they are not validated really helping in real life.
Many scammers take advantage of this since they see many people donating their extra wealth for saving the humanity.

this is sad because scammers use this an one of thier advantage to do thier unethical acts .
people these days badly need the donation but it will be gone wrong if the donations fall from wrong hands . not just scammers alone but also regular people or some govt official's too can do unwanted stuffs like these . the said doing is not new but also happen along time ago with or without epedimic or serious cases like this . this is alarming and we should act something to atleast lessen them

This is true, I have seen so many pushing websites promoting the helps for the pandemic virus affected, there are also many scammers that uses this current situation to fool other people, they know that most of the people now are lack of money because of being temporarily unemployed to lessen the risk of spreading the virus and yet the scammers uses this as an advantage to pool other people, they know that people will take the offer and that is why scammers why victims.
I really hate those people or those scammers that uses this bad situation to pool other people or to steal money from others. They don't even think the people who will get suffered because of what they have done.

Don't you know that these sect's of individuals never care about humans but always care of ideas in his they can easily scam gullibles across boards, we have the worst humanity when it come to scammers because they are careless what will happen to their victims after they're been scam. We have seen when families developed depression when these miscreants scam them of their belongings.
Coronavirus is just unfortunate incident to be use by these guys and maybe God will give them what they gave to others in this trying times. Their end can never be end well according to history.

There are a lot of reports where people are abusing and taking advantage of this pandemic to collect and gather donations which is not a legit organization. There are a lot of people who are being fooled by these scammers and many victims are really losing their money to nothing. People are inhumane whenever they think that this is the right opportunity to take advantage of this event so that they can really scam people's money.
If you are willing to help and give some donations, you should always check the credentials of the organization if they are supported and connected by the authority. If that so, you can confirm that the said fundraisers are legit and now you are safe and comfortable to donate your money to them.
Some organizations are lacking of some credentials and doesn't surpass the requirement to become authorized and that will serve as your basis and evidence if they are legit. Hopefully they stop those doings so that we have a peaceful services on helping other people and minimize this scamming events.

There are UNICEF and World Vision but I don't trust those organizations. I'd rather give to those house charities that I come across because I get to see the recipients myself.
