Charitable donations

The RCMP advises the public to be cautious when making charitable donations.

It's a sad fact that unscrupulous people may try to profit from the pain and suffering of others by approaching well-meaning Canadians for donations.

There's no reason to think these sorts of scams will not surface. Those wishing to make charitable donations are advised to do so cautiously.

Those who feel they may have been victimized by a scam charity are advised to call the PhoneBusters National Call Centre at 1-888-495-8501.
