The UK's national fraud reporting centre has issued a warning to those wanting to help victims of the Ukraine war.
Action Fraud has sent out an alert as cyber criminals are targeting generous people. They have received 196 reports of bogus emails claiming to be fundraising for victims of the crisis.
They state that the conmen use a variety of tactics including soliciting Bitcoin donations and sales of t-shirts to lure people in to parting with their money. Links in the emails that they send lead to malicious websites that are designed to steal your money and personal information.
