Fake Charities: Making Sure Kindness Lands in the Right Place

When something sad happens, people want to help, and scammers know it. Fake charities copy real names, real logos and famous faces.

They often arrive as texts, posts or adverts with a link and a sense of urgency.

The safe habit is to go to the real charity's website yourself and give there, never through a link in a message.

For children: kindness is precious, so ask a grown-up before giving anything.

The rule from the episode: give through the real charity, not the link.
