I Ran a Fake Charity Drive

I ran an online charity drive for a cause that did not exist. The harm affected donors who believed they were helping others. I used emotional language and shared updates showing progress. I concealed the truth by posting staged milestones and thanking contributors publicly. I benefited financially and closed the campaign once donations slowed. Donors questioned outcomes but had no recourse. The page was removed and the funds were never distributed. The incident remains a closed campaign rather than a recorded fraud.
