Scam Warning
At Achtab, safeguarding our community from scams and fraudulent activities is paramount. We are committed to transparency and educating our supporters to ensure their interactions with us are secure and trustworthy.
Recognizing Common Scams
Scammers often impersonate legitimate organizations to deceive individuals. Common tactics include:
- Phishing Emails: Unsolicited emails that appear to be from reputable sources, requesting personal or financial information.
- Fake Charities: Fraudsters posing as charitable organizations, especially during crises or festive seasons, to solicit donations.
- High-Pressure Tactics: Urgent appeals demanding immediate action or donations, aiming to bypass your due diligence.
Protecting Yourself from Scams
To ensure your safety:
- Verify Legitimacy: Before engaging with any organization, especially when donating, confirm their authenticity. For U.S.-based charities, the IRS offers a tool to check tax-exempt status.
- Avoid Unsolicited Requests: Be cautious of unexpected communications asking for donations or personal information. Legitimate organizations typically do not solicit sensitive details through unsecured channels.
- Donate Directly: Use official websites or known contact methods to make contributions, reducing the risk of funds being misappropriated.
- Be Skeptical of Unusual Payment Methods: Requests for donations via gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency can be red flags for fraudulent activities.
