8) Charity fraud
Telemarketers claiming to represent charities call asking the target for a donation. Fake charities try to take advantage of people’s generosity and compassion for others in need. Scammers will steal the money by posing as a genuine charity; they may try to use recent events, such as natural disasters, to make their phony pleas for donations sound more believable.
These scammers use aggressive high-pressure techniques made to make the victim feel guilty or selfish if they do not want to donate.
