Deception

Not only propagandas can be deceptive, but also organizations, especially the ones with charity frauds. In 2007, the disastrous Hurricane Katrina struck people with terror. Nearly 50 people donated forty thousand USD to a fake charity, AirKatrina.com, which claimed to support the victims. The organization asserted to fly babies for transplant surgery and save the babies' lives. However, there weren't any flights nor babies. Sending unsolicited e-mails requesting money from an organization was a popular trick at that time. People tended to sympathize the victims without suspecting whether the organizations were fake or not. Unscrupulous people earned money by claiming a charity donation. Therefore, people must understand the organizations' identities before donating money. People can't easily believe in illegitimate organizations just because they claimed to support refugees, victims, and children. They must find a reliable trustful organization, such as the Red Cross. I personally abhor organizations which perform charity frauds because they abuse the point of saving people and discourage people from donating money. Who else wants to donate money to a fake organization? People tend to worry whether the organizations are fake and thus prevent them from donating since "worries" are troublesome. People's humanity should prevent them from tricking and deceiving innocent victims.
