Staying Safe: Identifying Scams and Fraud 

At UNRWA USA, your safety and security matter to us just as much as your generosity. We deeply appreciate your support for our mission to assist Palestine refugees and the vital work carried out by our partners at UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.

Here's how you can protect yourself from online fraud and scams:

  1. Only trust official channels: The best way to stay informed is to know which UNRWA USA channels are official. You can also follow us through our social media platforms: Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube, with the username @unrwausa. We share relevant and reliable information through these channels. Online donations should only be made through verified UNRWA USA platforms, like our website: unrwausa.org. 

  2. Stay vigilant: Be cautious of individuals unaffiliated with UNRWA or UNRWA USA who may misuse our name and logo for personal gain or to obtain personal information. 

  3. Never pay for job applications: UNRWA USA will never charge fees for job applications. If someone claiming to be a recruiter for UNRWA USA asks you to make a payment as part of the application process, please know that this is not legitimate. Report such incidents to us promptly.

  4. Trust your instincts: If something doesn't seem right, trust your instincts and report any suspicions to UNRWA USA. Notify us immediately if you encounter questionable requests or unauthorized use of our name or logo. Your vigilance safeguards our community.

For any doubts about the legitimacy of a request, contact us here. If you've fallen victim to a scam, we advise contacting your local authorities immediately.
