A freind came across this last night. Who is this anonymous account asking for donations to support the resistance and get Trump impeached? We started looking into it. 1 #warning #ScamAlert #con #SCAM #fraud #fake #scheme #TuesdayThoughts

A Google search for Maday Media brings up a Facebook page for a German media company.

And the link on their profile goes to a page thst sells resistance themed merchandise. They want to make money off of the resistance however they can. 4 premiumpickups.com/collections/th…
They aren't listed with Charity Navigator, and they provide no information on how donations will support the resistance or hold Trump accountable. There's nothing about how they are run or how donations would be spent. 5

The FTC's Consumer Information site provides excellent information on how to determine if a charity is reputable before donating. 6 #charity

It's despicable, but there are people trying to profit from the Resistance, some even going to the extreme of scamming others. We've seen it before, and we'll probably see it again. Do some research before donating, and please share this with others. #PSA #ResistancePSA
