2. They set up websites. They stand in front of supermarkets. They
send you mail or come to your door.
With so many causes to choose from, it’s no wonder unscrupulous
individuals are able to scam people for thousands – sometimes
millions – of dollars with fake charities.
Unfortunately, this is not a problem in just one country. Recent news
stories out of Pakistan, the United States and Australia all warn
people to beware fake charities. Master Healer Pankaj Naram is
concerned about the increase in the number of these scams as it
makes people leery of donating to legitimate causes, such as the
Pankaj Naram Seva Foundation.
This has inspired Master Healer Pankaj Naram to publish this list of
tips to help people avoid being scammed by these fictitious charities.
3. Do some research. Don’t just break out the checkbook.
Instead, visit sites like www.charitywatch.org/charities
to see if the charity in question is legitimate. Charity
Watch also rates charities so you can give smarter. And
also follow the charity, become involved in seeing what
is happening, and how you can best help. Sometimes
the best thing you can give is your time and talents.
Be wary. If you haven’t donated to a certain charity
before and given them your contact information, then
there is no reason they should be able to contact you
directly.
Double check the Web address. Scammers will often
have site names that are just a letter or two off from a
legitimate site’s URL. Most non-profit organization
websites end in .org, not .com or .net.
4. Master Healer Pankaj Naram says that his
master taught him that with all of the
concerns on this planet you are either part
of the problem or part of the solution.
Ultimately your impulse to give and
contribute to charities is good. Just to watch
for any sites that may be a scam or a fake
charity – so that you can really be making a
difference on this planet in the way that you
hope to.
