Following the recent deadly attacks by a Gaza-based terror group that claimed the lives of more than 1,300 Israelis, there has been a significant rise in charitable donations to support affected Israelis and Palestinian civilians. However, scammers are seizing this opportunity to defraud donors. Identity theft protection service provider IdentityIQ has reported an increase in scams specifically targeting those interested in helping Israel. These fraudulent charity operations often employ tactics such as requesting donations through unconventional payment methods or making false claims about zero operational expenses. To avoid falling victim to such scams, individuals are advised to thoroughly research and verify the legitimacy of charitable organizations before making contributions, including consulting dedicated charity evaluation websites.
