Many kind and generous people are contributing to help the people of Ukraine now under murderous assaults against civilian men, women and children by Russia’s military.
But sad to say, there are already reports that some of those kind and generous people are being “took” by scammers (crooks), with contributions being pocketed by scoundrels.
People who contribute should be careful and double-check to make sure their goods or money are going to legitimate helpers.
The following are just some of the reliable places. To check for others, google “Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance.”
