Ukrainian-born woman says her identity was stolen to snatch donations: 'I don't feel protected

Lesya Yurgovsky from Pennsylvania warns of fundraising scams in the war between Russia and Ukraine. A Ukrainian-born Pennsylvania woman who raised funds and raised essential supplies for her home country during the Russo-Ukrainian war urged others to know exactly who and where they were sending aid donations.

He had good reason to warn others: he was betrayed for trying to do good. Yorgovski raised money and supplies for the people of their hostile homeland. He said who created the fake account disguised himself as Yorgovski to receive donations directly from his relatives. Yorgovski said he suspected the money should have been kept by someone impersonating him.

"I don't feel protected on Facebook." While Yorgovsky was still doing personal fundraising for Ukraine, he decided to remove all other fundraising efforts from social media after opening a fraudulent account. "I don't feel protected on Facebook," he said of raising funds through the platform. For comment, Fox News Digital contacted Meta, formerly known as Facebook, Inc., which also owns Instagram.

Yorgovski said he reported fake Facebook and Instagram accounts but had not received a response. However, when Yorgovsky spoke to Fox News Digital, the fake account was still active.

"My friends are still getting weird messages from Instagram," he said. Yorgovski said he reported fake Facebook and Instagram accounts but had not received a response. However, when Yorgovsky spoke to Fox News Digital, the fake account was still active.
