Is This Charity Real?

Before you tap your card or sign anything, take 20 seconds. Type the charity name or ABN and Arthur will check it against the ACNC register, the ATO’s deductible-gift list, and Australia’s fundraising regulator.

The page they want you to visit. We’ll check it for safety warnings and how recently the domain was registered.

Are they in front of you right now? (optional)

Cash, gift cards, crypto, or transfers to a personal account from a street fundraiser are scam red flags regardless of how the registration check turns out.

We can’t verify ≠ this is a scam. Arthur is a quiet second opinion, not a regulator.
