🛡️ East African Anti-Scamming Initiative

Protecting Generosity. Strengthening Trust.

🌍 Why We Exist

Every year, thousands of kind-hearted people lose money, time, and trust to fraudulent individuals or fake organizations pretending to do good across East Africa.
These scams hurt everyone: the donors who want to help, the communities who depend on support, and the many honest local organizations whose credibility gets damaged.

The East African Anti-Scamming Initiative (EAASI) was born out of real experiences — hard lessons learned by the team behind Umoja Greenlands after encountering multiple scam attempts.
We created this platform so others don’t have to go through the same.

🔍 What We Do

✅ Investigate & Publish
We research, verify, and share information about scams, fake NGOs, and impersonators operating across East Africa.
Each published case includes context, evidence, and review status — from Allegation to Cleared.

✅ Educate & Prevent
We publish practical guides and warning signs to help donors, volunteers, and organizations recognize and avoid scams.

✅ Report & Collaborate
We invite everyone to share verified information and report suspected scams safely through our Report a Scam form.

⚠️ Recognize the Red Flags

🚫 Requests for “urgent” mobile money transfers
🚫 Personal accounts instead of official organization accounts
🚫 Fake or mismatched registration documents
🚫 Promises without proof or deliverables
🚫 Avoidance of video calls or verifiable meetings
🚫 Cloned websites or reused proposal texts

If you’ve encountered any of these, pause and verify before sending funds or signing agreements.

🗂️ Scammers Database

Our Scammers Database is an evolving, community-driven directory of reported cases across East Africa.
Each listing shows:

We currently list the first two verified reports — Jacob and Joe — as ongoing reviews, with evidence under examination.
More cases will be added as our verification expands.
