Online criminals have no ethics or decency and are quick to capitalise on any potential scam. The recent earthquake is the latest tragedy to be cruelly exploited
There are plenty of harrowing images and videos describing the awful fate of the recent earthquake victims
and these may well inspire the humanitarian desire to contribute funds
BUT BEWARE!
Many appeals for donation in social media are actually SCAMS
Even if the LINK appears genuine!
What you see for a LINK is just TEXT and could say anything
The best approach is to donate directly via a GENUINE CHARITY website
For the others - you can right-click on a link to get more information
check out the destination and if it is fake report it!
Social media companies are doing their best but the crooks are fast and wily!
