The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigated and alerted people to never give any money to the scammers. FBI has warned people to not to give any amount on such fradulent schemes seeking donations.

Consequently, scammers are taking advantage of the crisis in Ukraine by developing fake fundraising efforts. The fraudsters also were taking cryptocurrency donations.

The fraudsters particularly appeals to the emotions of the people which many of them may not be able to resist. Scammers play with the emotions of people and hence many of them paid for the Ukrainians who were affected by the war.
