Services from money transfer providers include fraude detection and customers protection against illegal activities. - Secured transfer service providers for electronic money processing will verify your identity before you can send or receive money worldwide. How do I protect myself from fraud? For project sponsors - Do not send money directly to someone without trusting the person or carefully reviewing project submissions. - Do not send money directly to any person (private person, company, or association) if the project page shows a country where a Stripe-Account can be opened. First, ask why the project page did not apply for a Stripe-Account. - If necessary, check the address and identity of the person (author, company, or association). - Do not put yourself under pressure for sending money directly to someone claiming an urgent need for donations and suggesting an immediate cash donation via money transfer. Give yourself time to think and examine the situation and, if necessary, speak to one or more familiar people about it before making a final decision. - Also outside of your Likestage platform, be generally careful if anonymous, stranger, or unknown people contact you by email, post or telephone and urgently ask for donations via money transfer. Check the situation carefully as described above in the previous recommendations. For project authors - Do not pay or send any money in advance to a person for alleged fees, taxes, shipping costs or duties, so that the person can then send you a larger monetary contribution for your project page.
