Product Description:
When people with big hearts see someone in need, they want to do everything they can to help. In cases of natural disasters and serious illnesses, people ask how and where they can donate money for the people who need it. And in most instances, the money donated by these selfless people really does go to the people in need. But what about when scammers take advantage of these situations in order to give themselves a big paycheck? In this episode of Scammed, viewers will see two different charity fraud schemes. In the first case, a scammer sets up a website for a fake disaster relief agency. Donors thought they were giving money to victims of Hurricane Katrina, but the scammer was actually funneling all donations into criminal accounts. In the second case, a girl pretends to be terminally ill as a ploy to get donations to use for her own personal gain. The end result of these scams is that innocent people hear about them and then hesitate to donate to legitimate charities in the future. This episode of Scammed focusing on charity fraud is a must-see for any kind-hearted people who want to learn how to ensure that their donations end up with people who actually need them.
