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.
Topic: Corona virus exploited by some scammers - page 2. (Read 605 times)
Unsurprisingly, fraudsters used clever ideas to make profit from people's suffering. The lives and situation that people are currently facing don't matter because they only think for themselves. They defraud people for their own gain, but they don't recognize how their actions affect someone's life. Some of them pretend to be a part of a prominent organization to perpetrate awful acts. Fraudsters never stopped on continuing their system and they consistently improve it, so people should do research to confirm that it is legitimate.
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
I can't remember seeing any post where WHO asked people everyone to start using cryptocurrency because of Covid-19, or this is just your assertion? can you give me link to this post? It will be good if they said it, but let's always report true information.
There were always a lot of scammers. we just hear about them more often.
Troubles attract scammers and everyone knows about it. Therefore, at this time, you need to be as careful as possible.
Because of what we are experiencing right now, we are all required to stay at home to avoid interacting with other people to lessen the risk of spreading the virus. There are many people who want to make money even though they are home so they tend to apply on some online job through the internet. There are many online jobs but always make sure that you are visiting the legit website because most of the website are fake and made by the scammers and hackers, they will use this situation as their advantage to fool other people because of thinking that people will easily believe of the website because of the eagerness of making money.

Even there's a pandemic outbreak still there are a lot of people trying to take advantage, and some of them are using the event of COVID 19 to get the sympathy of the people but still always aware guys there are a lot of people getting scammed already and take not it is better to make aware even this kind of event exists some of the people getting some fundraising, and they use that money they earned just to get a lot of income also be aware of the phishing because of most of the time it cause of trouble to don't always click some links that are not secured and also be mindful of that.
They never care what he do to other people, they only want money, money, and money.
Scammers are considered criminal because they harm other people and stole money from them. It is almost the same as a robber, they stole money, but the difference is that scammers fool people using technologies. They really do what they can just to persuade people to give their to money to them.
They use some fake organizations, fundraising, fake applications, just for people to subscribe to them, donate to them, and that's how they try to steal your money. Once the transactions has been processed then you have nothing to do but to regret it. That's the reason why we should always check the legitimacy of the fundraiser or organizations that we are rooting for just to help other people.
Yeah, it's true... because this pandemic many website open donation about against this virus, especially using cryptocurrency. We should double checked the URL to avoid phishing and check the address.
As this pandemic is progressively increasing its cases, the number of scammers that is making fake fundraising is also increasing. They will never stop unless this pandemic stops. They're just making money because of this virus, they take advantage of this pandemic so those soft-hearted people who wants donate are their victim. We also should check if they have a license or some strong evidences that they are a legit fundraiser before we send our money if we are willing to help.
do a lot of good and keep praying and respecting each other ..., so the covid-19 virus passes quickly ...,
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.

Ah. Assumptions. WHO suggested that we stay away from physical cash in the meantime, but they never said that we should use cryptocurrencies; well, unless you have a source to show us? Digital currency != cryptocurrency.
You just have to go to Scam Accusations and see how many scams are running using the pandemic crisis. So if you really wanted to donate or something, might be good if you are going to start to help your local community first before giving out money to health organizations like WHO. It's far safe, instead of going online because you really don't know who to trusted at this point. Some scam websites really looks good and you can't even say that this is a fraud site. So much better go local first, IMHO.
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
What does WHO think that encourages the use of cryptocurrency? What about countries that have not legalized crypto, there is no solution? That is clearly not an official WHO statement, and basically you've received wrong information from illegitimate sites which is the beginning of fraud.
I think this is more advisable to use features of local bank services such as i-bangking or other instant payment services instead of using papercurrency directly.
Only fool would believe a charity that accepts cryptocurrency today, because most of these people is either straight scamming crypto enthusiasts or wants to have altcoins in their wallet regardless if it's a shitcoin or not, the possibility of these coins to pump are always there. And why should I use Bitcoin to donate on a charity, when I can use debit cards to do so. It's a waste of resource when you're using Bitcoin as a donation.
Also, I wouldn't trust any NGO's that easily.

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.
They never care what he do to other people, they only want money, money, and money.
Yeah, it's true... because this pandemic many website open donation about against this virus, especially using cryptocurrency. We should double checked the URL to avoid phishing and check the address.

We cannot really deny that even in the middle of the pandemic there are still a lot of scammers that is taking an advantage and scam some people. Instead of helping one another they try get some profit by scamming. How sad but this is really the reality.
