Be aware that some of these low-life individuals setup websites hours after the hurricane struclc Thankfully, some were shut down immediately by attorneys general acrossthe country. Charity fraud occurs when an individual orgroup deliberately misrepresents its fundraising intentions or solicitsfundsfor phony causes.Fraudulent fundraisers use many of the same techniques as reputable fundraisers buttheymaydoso ina questionable or illegal way,such asa telephone call witha high-pressure appeal or amailingthat promises special favorsfromlocal firefighters or police in exchange fora donation. Some charities operate just inside the law but outside of the ethical boundaries, spending an excessive amount on fundraising and administrative costs but still contributing a legally acceptable percentage of' donated funds to the programs. Let's look at some of the techniques that are questionable and,in some cases,illegal: o Prize offers:Potential donorsaretoldthattheyhave won a contestand are eligible fora prize —usually worthless —if they make a donation toa charity. ©Donated-back tickets: Potential donors are encouraged to buy tickets and then donate them back so that A flit y, they can be passed on to those who could not otherwise attend the event Often the ticketsneverreachtheneedy. o Chain letters: Unsolicited appeals,usually in the form of e-mails,ask potential donors notonlyto contribute toan organization but also to forward the e-mail to friends and family members. o ted gifts: Usually just tokens,these "gifts"are enclosed in direct mail - solicitations to make the recipient feel obligated togive something back. ©High-pressure tactics: A solicitor urges the potential donor togivemoney,usually cash,immediately,before he or she has a chance to review information. o Like sounding names: Fraudulent charities take names that very similar to those ofhigh-profile charities thatare known and trusted by the public. Here are ways you can prevent being a victim of charity frau± ©Ask how your money will be used,such as what percentage willgoto the actual programs versus the administrative and fundraising cost. ©Request written information that gives the full name,address,and phone numbers of the organization, as well asa description of the programs it supports. ©Check out any charity, youdon'tknowwiththelocal charity registration office, Better Business Bureau or a charity watchdog group such as www.charitywatch.org, www.give.org or www.guidestar.org. o Don't giveinto high-pressure or emotional appeals that urge y< donateonthespot. ©Don't be fook name thatclosely f< the name ofa respe well-knowncharity sure you know who dealing with.Ifyou unsure,don't be afr; for more informatic o Give directly l charity,if possible,; toan organization c v/ill forward your d' the charity. o Keep careful r all your donations s identify fraudulent: ciaim you made a pi don't remember ma ©Ask for the ch; tax-exempt letter in IRS status.You can' tax-deductible dona charity does not hav ©Never givecas your contribution b] payable to the charii ©Give your crec numberonlyifyou i thatyouaredealing legitimate charity — make sure that the n willbe encrypted. o Don'tgiveout Social Security numl charity does not nee order foryouto claii deducdon.
