What are warning signs of an Afghanistan donation scam?
Warning signs include pressure to act immediately, unverifiable identities, copied imagery, mismatched domains, private payment requests, no receipt, vague use of funds, and hostility toward basic questions.
What this means in practice
Crisis urgency can be real, but it does not remove the need to verify the recipient.
Reverse-image searches and independent registry checks can reveal reused content or false affiliations.
Never share one-time codes, account credentials, or full payment details with a fundraiser.
A responsible route from donor to field work
Famidi receives support through its verified U.S. charity and works through trusted local coordinators who assess needs, purchase or contract locally when practical, complete the work, and return records.
Humanitarian activity and sanctions compliance are specialized areas. Do not treat a general explainer as legal authorization for a particular transfer, counterparty, or transaction; use current U.S. Treasury guidance when that question applies.
Check the underlying information.
