Holiday helpers, beware: Not every plea for kindness is genuine.

**** Via RCMP Holiday helpers, beware: Not every plea for kindness is genuine. Scammers create fake charities or impersonate trusted ones, using slick websites and social media to tug at your heartstrings. 👀 Watch out for these warning signs: 🔎 High-pressure tactics demanding you “donate now.” 💔 Heartbreaking stories with no way to verify them. 🌐 Strange URLs or charities missing from official registries. Protect yourself: • Verify charities through trusted sources before giving. • Take your time, real charities welcome support without urgency. • Trust your instincts if something feels off. Give safely this season so your generosity reaches those who truly need it.
