Dear users,

Our company is very concerned about the full-scale military assault in Ukraine. We condemn war crimes against the population and civilian infrastructure. However, we are confident in the ultimate victory of the Ukrainian free nation.

From the first day of the military aggression, the KYRREX team has supported the nationals of Ukraine in the struggle for freedom and peace. During this time, the company has donated more than 1.500.000 UAH ($60,000) to affected citizens and soldiers.

Today we are announcing the creation of a new Kyrrex Charitable Foundation, and donating an extra 1 000 000 UAH in humanitarian aid. This money will be used to buy food, clothes, housing repair, and military uniforms for the AFU. This fund will remain operational during the course of the military operation in Ukraine. In the future, we expect to route proceeds of the charity towards rebuilding destroyed infrastructure.

Each of you can make a donation to our charitable foundation. Use the details if you want to help.

Unity will help us to win in this war.
Glory to Ukraine!

Kyrrex is a crypto exchange and investment platform, and it appears that their founders are Ukrainians. It is quite possible that they created a charitable fund since they posted about it on their social media and on their official blog.

Were you their customer? You probably received that mail because you're a subscriber to their newsletter or have used their platform at some point.

I have seen a number of TikToc users posting live streams of what is likely to be a sound recording of someone crying, and a repeating video of an old building in poor condition, with the caption saying they need money to escape.

It is sad that people are taking advantage of the situation for their own personal benefit.

Unfortunately, there are people who are twisted enough to take advantage of such situation purely for their own advantage and benefit. With all the donations that are being sent globally, there are people who create fake addresses and videos in hopes of scamming kind-hearted and genuine donators.

Unfortunately, it seems that there are always people willing to pounce whenever disaster strikes. It is common for people to loot homes after a hurricane that caused people to evacuate. Donation scams tend to pop up when there is a cause that many wish to donate to help.

I think the effect of these types of people is that others will be less willing to donate to help good causes because they don't know if their money is actually going to help, or if it is going to scammers.

thanks for clarifying my question. personally I don't remember if I ever/never used the service platform on behalf of kyyrex.

but at least your statement leads to the main point that the charity fund service is real/official.

Another user trying to take advantage of Ukraine's situation.
Advo82 woke up after a long time and made a topic asking for donations.
The user was inactive for 4 years. The account may have been hacked.

He created an account a few days ago and pretended to be inquiring about mining gear to be used to generate more money from the donated money

Hello friends, we have established an organization to support children and families damaged in the war. We plan to cover the care, education and protection expenses of the children who were left without a family during the war, with the income we will earn by mining within this organization. At this point, we would be very grateful if you could tell us the mining configurations that we can get the best efficiency with the most appropriate budget.

Best regards.

Another user (account created today) asking for donations. NoWarStopWar
Seeing the way he quoted a reply, I'm not sure if he's new here.

By the way, I sometimes think that some of them are Ukrainians who are really asking for donations. Is there any directive out there for affected Ukrainian residents to get donations personally to the agency managing the official known donation address? Then we just need to refer the donor requester who come to this forum to that directive (including pretend scammers).

In fact, I already read in the forum about a crypto address where to send our donations, and it's a legit address.

The addresses setup by the Ukrainian government are (at least as of now)
https://twitter.com/Ukraine
BTC - 357a3So9CbsNfBBgFYACGvxxS6tMaDoa1P
ETH and USDT (ERC-20) - 0x165CD37b4C644C2921454429E7F9358d18A45e14

and the UN Refugee Agency in general: https://unrefugees.org/SupportUkraine

I think it is better for us to donate directly to an official NGO or a reputable non-profit organization raising donations for Ukraine. We also need to be sure that every donation we send reaches those who need it. Those who need help should turn to these organizations and I am sure they will get all the help they need.

Here is another worried soul who wants to collect help for the children of Ukraine CryotoK in the topic NFT to help children who have seen the horrors of war.
I looked at his offer, I have to admit he is very modest, around 12-17 ETH per one item.

quoting for reference

Hi. 
A Ukrainian writes to you, one who withstands Russia's military aggression.
 I created a collection of several nft drawings of Ukrainian children. 
The money from the sale of these nft will go to save the lives of children who are experiencing shelling and fleeing the war. 
Help: spread the link to the collection, or buy one of the pictures - save lives.https://opensea.io/collection/untitled-collection-270088210
Many children are now hungry and scared in basements, shelters. I want to raise funds for food, clothing, medicine for them. The funds will also be transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and those who lost their homes.
If anyone wants - write to me, I'll tell you where you can send help to these people

Still ongoing threads that pop up from time to time from newbies hoping for donations.
Although this user does not dismiss help as advice, it is likely from this that the topic has not yet been deleted.
But you can still get gullible and reward him with some amount.

Dear friends! We need your help.

Please donate some amount to the ether wallet 0x57044b669661d3dc44be5b92477564401e6793f6

Reminds of the time when COVID 19 broke out... and now we have random scam tokens getting created, all themed to "support" the victims of the war. But we all know what the aim of these scammers is.

Here is another one
