How to donate safely and avoid scams
In the wake of past disasters, fraudsters posing as representatives of welfare organizations or public organizations solicited donations.
Following the Noto earthquake, fraudsters on social media have solicited donations via smartphone payments.
The police and the Consumer Affairs Agency are calling on people to thoroughly vet organizations before making donations.
