Earlier today, I received a scam email that impersonates the Ukrainian Red Cross. It attempts to solicit donations via Bitcoin. The email is almost certainly not related to any valid Red Cross effort. There are some legitimate efforts to collect donations for Ukraine using crypto-currencies. This scam may take advantage of these efforts. The scam wasn't hard to spot, but as people are looking for ways to help, some may fall for it. So far, the address has received about $10 in Bitcoin. Someone may already have been scammed. If you are soliciting funds for charitable purposes: Please make sure you are providing verifiable information. Even bank account numbers (not just Bitcoin addresses) may be fake. Best to link to a website of charity with respective information. As suggested by the email, I am going to reply and will update this post if I get a response.
