25. Charity Chicanery
Some of the most effective and enduring scams are those that prey not on your greed, but on your desire to do good. Following a major disaster or tragedy, it’s not unusual to receive emails or messages suggesting you can help by making a donation through a seemingly legitimate charity. Your intentions may be good, but you should be smart enough to know it’s better to go directly to the site of the American Red Cross or another real charity than trust the exhortation of a random emailer.
