I'm 24 and I just want to see some kids smiling you dumb!

This whole thing is kind of pathetic...

Considerations before giving to a charity, for those based in the US - http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0074-giving-charity

Advice for Australians - http://www.scamwatch.gov.au/content/index.phtml/tag/charityscams


e.g.

  • The person tries to put pressure on you by making you feel guilty or selfish if you don’t want to donate.
I'll make this donations happen anyway.
It seems like here people won't do anything.
  • The person asking for money cannot or will not give you details about the charity, such as its full name, tax status, address or phone number.
All the bitcoins will be in sight, we will start helping poor children and their families by buying them what they need.
  • The person gets defensive if you ask any questions about what the charity does and how much of the donation gets taken up by costs.
You are crazy man! Donations aren't a scam!
  • The person doesn’t want to give you a receipt. Or, they give you a receipt that does not have the charity’s details on it.
  • etc...
