The message you received has multiple red flags common in donation or charity scams:

⸻

🚩 Why it’s suspicious

1. Anonymous & emotional appeal

• It uses a vague, emotionally charged story (“my daughter’s leukemia treatment”) without any verifiable details.

• Sent by a stranger, with no prior connection or context.

2. A foreign (unknown) fundraising link

• The link goes to a primal.net domain, which appears to be a generic relay/funnel site—not a recognized charity platform.

• ScamAdviser gives this domain a high trust rating based on technical factors, but notes hidden ownership, low traffic, and use of iframes—factors often seen with untrustworthy sites  .

3. No transparency

• The message doesn’t explain who is organizing the fundraiser, what organization is involved, or how donations are tracked and used.

• The link likely collects data or prompts sharing behavior (e.g. repost), not actual donated funds.

4. Tactics seen in scams

• Fundraising appeals targeting emotional topics like sick children are commonly used in scams, as they increase the push for immediate action  .

• Predatory fundraisers often rely on urgency and vague wording to prompt clicks or shares.

5. Forum and moderation reports

• Similar fundraising links or strategies have been flagged in community moderation contexts:

• “These kinds of sites are usually scammy. I’d honestly just give your money to the charity instead of going through apps.” 

• Reddit moderators in some forums advise only trusting well‑known platforms or verified fundraisers .
