Watch out for charity scams
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich offers the following tips:
• If you want to make a donation, go to the website of the charity of your choice and make a donation. Do not click on any links in emails or texts you might receive.
• Donate to charities you know and trust.
• Ask if a caller is a paid fundraiser, who they work for and what percentage of your donation goes to the charity and to the fundraiser. If you don’t get a clear answer, or if you don’t like the answer you get, consider donating to a different organization.
• Don’t give out personal or financial information, including your credit card or bank account number, unless you know the charity is reputable, and never give that information over the phone.
• Never send cash: You can’t be sure the organization will receive your donation, and you won’t have a record for tax purposes.
• Check out charities with the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) Wise Giving Alliance, Charity Navigator, Charity Watch or GuideStar.
