How do scammers misuse charity events to collect fraudulent donations, and how can I verify genuine causes?
Scammers can misuse charity events by creating fake organizations or events, using emotional appeals to manipulate donors, and diverting funds for personal gain. To verify genuine causes, you can research the charity’s legitimacy by checking their website, reviewing their financial records, looking for transparency in how donations are used, and using reputable charity evaluation websites like Charity Navigator or GuideStar for further validation.
