Cybercriminals are sending scam emails, and creating fraudulent websites seeking donations for those affected by the conflict.
There are emails or websites that are preying on your empathy and generosity. They are avoiding spam filters—so they won’t use words like “help” or “donate.” Instead, they will use phrases like “we call to your compassion” and subtitute the word “help” for support or aid.
Websites may look legit and give context to the conflit, maybe including photos. You are encouraged to make donations."The first step would be to check whether the spelling or the domain of the website’s name has any typos. If it has typos, it’s a scam," said Yoav Keren, CEO of BrandShield. "There’s no doubt about that."Scrutinize the website before donating. Fake sites often lack essential information about the charity, where the money is going, and legitimate documentation.
Be skeptical of anyone e-mailing you or contacting you on social media. That can be a funnel to direct people to a scam.
