How scammers are hijacking Ukraine war charity donations – BBC News
Fraudsters are masquerading as victims of Russia’s war in Ukraine in an attempt to steal charitable donations.
False charity websites have also been created by con-artists to seize on people’s eagerness to help victims of the crisis and trick people into donating.
There have been 2.8 million fraudulent emails looking to gain donations, with fraudulent crypto-currency wallet addresses, according to software firm Proofpoint’s figures.
Cyber security researcher Ax Sharma said scammers would often try to appeal to someone’s emotions, such as by using photos of women and children during the war.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

One huge scam is the fact that Ukrainian leader is asking for billions and billions of dollars every month from America. America doesn't have this kind of money America is struggling families are struggling in America no one has the money yet Ukraine receives billions and billions of dollars every month when their leader asks for it with money that doesn't exist. And it's all being done by President Biden himself oh that's right Hunter is with him don't forget the Burr isma business in fact ignore it because America's stupid to ignore it and believe me the money's going right back into the biden's pockets that's your scam

Criminals who defraud donators in this way are such amateurs 🤣😂 Just open a charity in UK, and you’re good to go. Charity commission is a joke. Over the years I’ve seen so many crazy but reasonably expected situations – where the commission lacks rules & regulations to counter this. I’m talking about legal loopholes that are so obviously immoral but because of lack of interest in regulating services, have been left open to interpretation… In short criminals who pull a scammer card are morons, because charity status basically gives fraudsters legal rights to continue scamming the public for years!

To be frank this is not new, this has been happening over decades not just wars in Ukraine. Whenever there is Natural disaster like Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Floods these kind of Scammers pops out of nowhere. Now it is crypto currency earlier it was just through bank accounts and fake NGOs, fake Facebook pages, fake websites. People use people, that's what the World is. Always remember never try to help anyone online, unless you know them personally or met them personally. The World is fake, period !
