First off if you want to donate to relief for Ukrain do it through a known notable relief company like Unicef and Doctors without borders.



Donating to help people in Ukrain is wonderful but there are so many scams. One even showed up on here asking for Bitcoin and Swift donations



THOSE ARE SCAMS SO BEWARE!!!



Always donate to a reputable company and never through an online advertisement. NEVER DONATE TO ANYONE ASKING FOR CRYPTO CURRENCY LIKE BITCOIN OR CASH TRANSFER APPS LIKE PAYPAL OR VENMO. ADD IN THOSE ASKING FOR DONATIONS USIMG GIFTCARDS LIKE AMAZON!!!



THOSE ARE ALWAYS SCAMS OUT TO STEAL YOUR MONEY AND YOUR GOOD WILL FOR THOSE IN NEED!!!

There are so many scammers around, especially on DS who pretend to be your friends and wanting to learn more information about you so that they can steal your identity to commit crimes at your expense.

We get new clerks each semester, which is great. The cases are extremely stressful.  The paralegal and office manager are very toxic (unorganized,...
