BEFORE YOU ACT
Check first, then decide what to do
This page is built for one simple action: if something looks suspicious, do not send money right away. First check whether the message, page, link, or payment request matches the official channels, then report it through the correct contact route.
WARNING SIGNS
What should raise concern right away
Changed Details
You receive a different link, wallet, or payment route not shown on the site.
Urgent Pressure
You are pushed to give immediately without time to verify the request calmly.
Unofficial Profiles
The appeal uses an account, page, or domain outside the fund’s channels.
HOW TO REPORT
Where to write if you see suspicious activity
The primary inbox for this page is report-scam@warvictimsfund.com. If you are not sure where to write, use contact@warvictimsfund.com as a fallback.
When you send a report, explain briefly what you saw and where you found it. A clear short description is enough to help the fund review the issue through the right channel.
WHAT TO CHECK
Situations worth reporting or verifying
Report it if someone:
- asks for donations on behalf of the fund through an unofficial profile;
- sends payment details that do not appear on the fund’s official pages;
- asks you to send money in a private chat;
- shares a wallet address or donation link that does not match the official website;
- uses the fund’s name in a suspicious post, ad, page, message, or fundraising appeal.
For crypto support, the safety rule is simple: wallet addresses should appear only on official WVF pages or official WVF social profiles, and the fund will never ask you to change the destination address in chat.
OFFICIAL CHANNELS
What to use before you trust a request
If you have any doubt, compare the request only against the fund’s official contact routes.
- Scam reports: report-scam@warvictimsfund.com
- General fallback: contact@warvictimsfund.com
- Donation support: donations@warvictimsfund.com
report-scam@ is the primary inbox for this page, with contact@ as the fallback when a visitor is unsure where to write.
FAQ
Common questions
What should I do if someone sends me a donation link in a private message?
Do not send money right away. First check whether the link appears on the fund’s official pages. If it does not, or if you are unsure, report it through the official scam-report inbox or use the general contact address.
Can I trust a wallet address sent to me in chat?
Not unless you can verify it on the fund’s official pages or official WVF social profiles. The confirmed rule is that the fund should not send a new destination address through chat.
How can I tell whether a fundraiser is really connected to the fund?
Check whether the naming, contact route, donation link, and page match the fund’s official channels. If they do not match, treat the request as suspicious until you verify it.
Where should I write if I am not sure whether it is a scam or just a mistake?
Start with report-scam@warvictimsfund.com if the issue looks suspicious. If you are unsure, use contact@warvictimsfund.com. If the problem is about a payment or donation issue, use donations@warvictimsfund.com.
What if I already sent money and now I am worried?
If this is a payment-related issue, write to donations@warvictimsfund.com and include the email used for payment and any details you have. Crypto transfers are usually irreversible, so wallet and network details should always be checked before sending funds.
Why is there no complex fraud-reporting system on this page yet?
At this stage, it is better to provide one clear official reporting route than to imitate a larger process that has not been confirmed publicly. This page is meant to help visitors act safely and quickly.
