Supporters of Christians Against Poverty (CAP) are being warned against scams, with online fraudsters posing as the charity. Anyone receiving an email purportedly from CAP but sent from a free email service, such as Google or Outlook.com, is being urged to be suspicious. Posting on Twitter, CAP said, ‘Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so the saying goes and, it turns out, there are scammers pretending to be CAP. The vast majority of this is happening online. Warning signs to spot you are not dealing with CAP include requests for money in US dollars or references of orphanages.’ The advice also said, ‘We are Christians (with an S) Against Poverty. If it reads Christian Against Poverty - fake! There are loads of us’. CAP charity contributes £32 million to the UK economy annually and anyone who has received anything suspicious is urged to contact Action Fraud, on 0300 123 2040.
