How do you combat this sort of fraud?
~ I don't think there are really any ways to 100% stop this kind of fraud from happening. people do need to pay more attention to where they donate their money and make sure that it is going to a legit charity. also the charities that are real should have something one the website showing that they are real that other people can't get to without going through something to get it where people would make sure they are really using the money for the charity or reason they say they are.
Are the people who do this evil?
~ I don't know if i would say they are "evil", but it's definitely wrong. they need to be punished for doing it, and it needs to be stopped and yes it is a bad thing to do and most people would consider them to be bad people, some would consider them not bad people but rather people who just did a bad thing... either way it's wrong but i wouldn't take as far as them being evil. evil to me would be like killing a baby or something along those lines; something extreme. not that this isn't a really bad thing because it is, it's just not necessarily on that level.
Is this becoming acceptable behavior in society?
~ I don't think it's acceptable but some people might see it that way. a lot of more people are doing it now than how much it used to be. but i don't think people view it as acceptable they just do it and hope to get away with it, i would imagine most of them would know that it's wrong and unacceptable.
