Charities today use a wide variety of tools to solicit donations – from car washes and direct mail to crowdfunding and social media. Advances in technology have allowed charities to quickly reach a larger audience than was ever previously possible, but these advances have also made the landscape more challenging to navigate. For donors, it may be difficult to tell whether a particular fundraising campaign is legitimate, as both a volunteer and a fraudster can create a fundraising page and start soliciting on behalf of charity within minutes.

Scams and Frauds

Among the best sources of health information is someone you can meet face-to-face. Talk about all of your health-related decisions with your doctors and other trusted health care providers. Below you will find information on common health related fraud.

Foreign Lottery Scams

Scammers continue to hit Nebraska mailboxes by sending fraudulent letters involving lottery winnings.

Whether you are seeking to shed a few pounds or treat a serious condition, beware of products that offer miracle cures. Every year, consumers spend billions of dollars on untested, fraudulently marketed, and utterly ineffective health products.

Be a skeptic in regard to miracle health products. Not only are they likely to be a waste of your money, without a doctor’s guidance, using them may put your health at serious risk.

Recognzie the Warning Signs:

Scammers sometimes pretend to be government officials to get you to send them money. They might promise lottery winnings if you pay “taxes” or other fees, or they might threaten you with arrest or a lawsuit if you don’t pay a supposed debt. Regardless of their tactics, their goal is the same: to get you to send them money or obtain your personal information.
