We encourage you to be cautious. At this time, UpScrolled does not provide verification for fundraisers. Even verified users (blue check) should be treated with care when it comes to donation requests.
The request might be genuine, but we recommend doing your own research before donating. UpScrolled cannot verify or support fundraising activities on the platform.
Steps you can take to protect yourself and others from scams on UpScrolled include:
If you suspect an account might be fake, report the user and include any screenshots as evidence. See how to report a user.
Use caution when clicking on links from unknown users, including donation links. An unrecognised fundraising website may be a red flag.
If a user contacts you and you don't want to hear from them, use the Block function. See how to block a user.
