Wave of scams related to the war in Palestine

In recent days I have noticed that many sites related to the situation in Palestine are being created, especially many sites asking to support the Palestinian population with donations or purchases of material.

There are certainly many people who try to help using the Internet, but many are taking advantage of this tragedy to scam people who want to help those who are suffering.

Wanting to give an example of a suspicious site, I started taking a look at this site “impact-palestine.com”.

The domain was registered two days ago.

I don’t take the HTTPS certificate into consideration because it might be normal to use a certificate of this type for a voluntary association.

The name of the site recalls that of IMPACT initiatives (https://www.impact-initiatives.org/). The text is in English but in some places there are texts in Russian.

We read about funds raised…

… but their wallet says otherwise.

It is also noted as asking for donations only via cryptocurrencies.

The links to their alleged social accounts lead to accounts of other well-known associations or to non-existent accounts.

If you are able and willing to help, I suggest you rely on well-known associations. For example https://www.amnesty.org/en/ or https://www.savethechildren.net/
