JustGiving has announced that it has had to shut down nearly 100 pages over the last 18 months because it believed them to be fraudulent. Over the last decade the shift in the way that the public interacts with giving campaigns, and the methods of donation have also meant that it is easier for fraudsters to create ‘fake’ pages.
The sheer amount of suspect activity across various fundraising platforms has created a call for tighter scrutiny from the online fundraising sector, including checks before fundraising pages go live and monitoring and evaluation upon completion to ensure money is collected and appropriately spent.
