How is the scam?
The supposed initiative to help Ukraine is named Ukraine Tokens. If a user agrees to participate she is directed to a platform from cryptocurrencies, but the money is lost.
There is also the supposed organization ‘Help for Ukraine’, through which they ask to donate from 5 dollars or Euros, through PayPal.
ESET recommends never donating to an organization without prior investigation and corroborate that it is a reliable and verified NGO. (AVV)
