Protect Yourself From Scammers: Stay Informed!
At the Philippines Orphanage Foundation, we are truly grateful for the unwavering support of our generous donors. However, we have unfortunately become a target for scammers who try to take advantage of your kindness, just like many other charitable organizations.
As your safety is our top priority, we want to share some critical advice to help you stay vigilant and informed about potential scams. Here are some essential tips to ensure that your donations go to the right place:
- Verify Identity: Always confirm that you are dealing with the legitimate representatives of POF before sharing personal information or making a donation. Beware of impostors!
- No Phone Solicitors: We never solicit donations over the phone. If someone claims to represent us and asks for a donation via a phone call, it’s a scam. Hang up immediately.
- No Selling: We do not sell any products. If someone tries to sell you something and claims it is for our charity, that is a red flag.
- Donate Securely Online: The safest way to contribute is through our official website (https://www.filipino-orphans.org/donate/) or verified Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/POFINC/). We encourage you to use these trusted platforms for your donations.
Below are some recent examples of scammers that have been using the Philippines Orphanage Foundation name:
