How to recognise a fraudulent fundraising scheme and what to check before transferring money.

Signs of a fraudulent campaign

Most schemes are built so the donor believes the story and transfers money quickly, without checking the details. Here is what to look at.

Pressure and urgency

«Only today», «we are counting the hours». This is a tactic to stop the donor from checking anything and to make them give on emotion.

Collecting to a personal card

No foundation, no dedicated account, no official confirmation of the diagnosis. The money goes straight to an individual's card with no checks at all.

A copied story

Photos and text about a genuinely ill child are reused with different payment details. A reverse image search exposes it.

A swapped QR code

A sticker with someone else's QR placed over the real one on a donation box in a public place, so the money does not go where the donor thinks.

The organiser cannot be checked

No documents, no diagnosis, no estimate, no report on funds raised earlier, only an emotional appeal.

A request for card details

A genuine campaign never needs your CVV, online banking password or an SMS code. Only fraudsters ask for these under the guise of a transfer.

No spending report

Once the campaign closes, nobody shows where the money went. A transparent campaign always has receipts and confirmations.
