Scammers exploit the running/cycling charity trend by organizing fake events and stealing registration fees and donations.
How It Works
Create fake pages impersonating reputable organizations, advertise charity runs "for underprivileged children." Collect registration fees then disappear.
Red Flags
- Organization has no charity operating license
- Only accepts transfers to personal accounts
- No clear partner/sponsor information
Prevention
Only register through the official organizer's website. Verify event licenses and activity history.
