There are a huge number of scammers and yet many somehow miraculously send them money. I participate in 1 platform in my opinion the most decentralized through which I know for sure that my donations will get to the destination address.(https://pollopollo.org/).(this is not financial advice or advertising.this is what I use.)

the World Health Organization ~ asked everyone to use cryptocurrencies for a period of time Also,

where do you people get this kind of news from? i never heard any organization, let alone WHO ask people to use "cryptocurrencies" ever! bitcoin alone is not mass adopted yet to be used by people during quarantine, not to mention that adoption is practically non-existent for altcoins.

Lol! People just fabricate stuff and make them news on their own without any source, I also did not read from anywhere when world health organisation give authorization of cryptocurrencies be used for a period of time,  this is self fabricated news am pretty sure of it, @op should either provide a source of this news or correct his post not to mislead people.
It seems to me that we are talking about cashless payments in order to protect people from contact with each other using paper money. perhaps people submit information not only untrue, but also distorted. in my country, the government asks people to use bank cards and smartphones using terminals, for everything that requires payment, Like in a store, So in public transport or in other places, but cryptocurrency is really not talking about.

We all know the changes that started in the world because of the Corona virus and its risks and because of the risk of its spread, the World Health Organization asked people to stay away from the use of paper currency for a period of time in order to reduce friction between people and reduce the spread of the virus, as it asked everyone to use cryptocurrencies for a period of time Also, there are many charitable and health organizations that requested donations through the Bitcoin currency
This is what made many fraudsters take advantage of this issue, as many fraudsters asked for donations from people in the name of health and charitable organizations. Where people donate to these organizations that are fake and the money is stolen by the fraudsters Unfortunately it is difficult to follow the addresses of these fraudsters so I hope that everyone will pay attention to this matter and not donate to any organization before verifying its authenticity and credibility

As we are definitely living in a modern and online environment, we are dealing with information left and right yet unfortunately people these days can easily be swayed to open up their wallets even without verifying if the people they are dealing with can be legit or just frauds. Just one of the many obvious ironies of our times. With the use of cryptocurrency under the time of pandemic crisis, scammers and fraudsters are seeing a big opportunity to fool people around. I am sure that millions of dollars in value can be spent towards the wallets of these scammers. We should be helping people to get educated on the use of cryptocurrency and on how we can be spared from many types, forms and ways of scams.

It's not a surprise, scamers and criminals always misuse situations like this and try to get financial gain for themselves. It's an ideal opportunity when people are vulnerable and fall easy for such attempts. That is why education and awareness is very important, that is the only way to protect people from becoming a victims.

I just feel sad about such people who scam people even in these circumstances. Don't they have any fear that they could also have this virus ? What can be more worse than to hurt people when they are already in deep trouble by the coronavirus. They should be bought in the court of law, if anyone knows their identity.

I will not feel sorry for these people who are trying to earn money at the expense of others in such a difficult time. But these guys are very clever and clever. We notice them now because we have time to do so. When the pandemic is over, we need to take care of their money, because the scammers don't sit still ever.

Nowadays, when we look at the digital world, we can see the need for cryptocurrency. With cryptocurrency we can easily invest in different sites, keep our resources within our reach. Only nominal fees are required to buy and sell cryptocurrencies. It is possible to maintain the highest confidentiality of one's assets through cryptocurrencies. It is very easy to keep track.

there are one charity that i have donated here in our country and everything is legit,i once volunteered to help them in giving away the donations
 to the family in depressed areas in where the most affected and needed family resides and it is good
feeling to personally hand over your own donations.

first we will not become a victim if we will make thorough research first befor giving our crypto to the allotted addresses because even in those we can find some legit transactions though must be better to at least learna bout the charity itself .

thats why making research first will save us from this hackers and scammers because these people are really good at it and surely we will hard
to finding them if we don't extend our effort.

It is very sad to see many scammers use this pandemic to trick and scam people into sending money.
People need to be educated especially old people that can be easily scammed
the same thing as social distancing we also need to see commercials about scam attacks and how to protect yourself from
