Scammers regularly try to take advantage of the plight of people forced to flee by asking for money through fake online donation pages. Those pages look and speak like UNHCR and claim to support refugees, migrants and other people in urgent need. But money donated through such pages lands in the hand of scammers. It can be difficult to judge if a donation page is real or fake. Here are a few good tips: Look at the web address in your browser address bar. Donation pages from UNHCR will always have https:// at the beginning of the address, meaning they offer a secured connection. For example: https://donate.unhcr.org/ If you see a donation page starting with http:// (without the 's' after the 'p') it is a fake page.   Look out for incorrect grammar. If the site contains spelling mistakes, broken or stilted English, it might not be an official UNHCR site.   If you have doubts whether a donation page is official or not, do not donate on that page. Instead, leave that page and go to an official UNHCR website. All donation options on the official UNHCR website are always legitimate. To visit an official UNHCR website: Global English website: https://www.unhcr.org Global French website: https://www.unhcr.org/fr Global Spanish website: https://www.acnur.org Global Arabic website: https://www.unhcr.org/ar
