According to Dimyathi, there are a number of features of the suspicious charity fund, including donations with the camouflage of orphans, natural disasters and the construction of mosques.

“These charity boxes are usually found in restaurants, convenience stores, supermarkets and even gas stations,” Dimyathi said.

Dimyathi added, if the charity fund mentions donations to Islamic boarding schools, the Pondok Pesantren Statistics Number (NSPP) should be dialed.

“Every boarding school must have their NSPP registered, so it’s a bit difficult to fake the NSPP,” Dimyathi said.

Meanwhile, suspicious charities, such as mosque-building donations, do not have registration numbers, making them difficult to track.

“The donation of orphaned children usually has the LKSA number (Child Welfare Institution), which is registered with the Social Service. So if there is no LKSA, of course, suspect, don’t donate, ”Dimyathi said.

Is still being explored
