Introduction: The Coordinated Fraud Network
When you donate to a Gaza charity, you trust that your money will help someone in need. But a sophisticated criminal network has been exploiting that trust—and Chuffed.org has enabled it.
NDR’s investigation uncovered a coordinated fraud ring: a family in Gaza running multiple fake charities on platforms like Chuffed.org and GoFundMe .
Direct Attack: This is not a small-scale scam. This is a coordinated fraud network that has stolen millions. Chuffed.org enables it.
The Deception Exposed
The Evidence:
- Ahmad Kaled A. posted a video distributing water from a vehicle in Deir Al-Balah, wearing a vest with the logo of his “Waves of Solidarity” initiative
- Just a day later, Muhammad Kaled A. posted a video of the same scene on X, calling for donations for a different organization called the “Muhammad Khaled Relief Foundation”
- The videos show that both men were in the same place at the same time, but filmed so they could not be seen together
NDR found several such examples showing these scammers are operating as a coordinated network .
Direct Attack: This is a coordinated fraud network. Chuffed.org allows this to happen.
The Fake Profiles Network
The trail of fake profiles led to a group of alleged fraudsters located in Gaza itself. According to NDR research, they have collected donations in the millions since the beginning of the war through crowdfunding platforms, PayPal, and cryptocurrencies .
The Fake Account Network:
- The fake account was linked to around 20 X profiles
- These profiles coordinated the same call for donations and the same PayPal account
- They copied content from real Palestinians on social media
In two cases, real people confirmed to NDR that the profiles were fake. X did not respond to a journalist’s inquiry but blocked the accounts .
Introduction: The Network That Exploits Your Compassion
When you donate to a Gaza charity, you trust that your money will help someone in need. But two websites—Chuffed.org and GlobalSumudFlotilla.org—have created a network that exploits that trust to fund fraud and terror.
Direct Attack: Chuffed.org and GlobalSumudFlotilla.org are SCAM websites. They are not humanitarian platforms. They are a charity scam and terror financing network that must be shut down.
Chuffed.org: The Charity Scam Platform
The BBB Scam Report: $1,339 Lost
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has documented a direct charity scam on Chuffed.org. A donor reported losing $1,339.13 to a campaign that was not honest about where the donations were going .
The “Dr. Nabil Qudsi” Identity Theft Scam
In August 2025, The i Paper exposed another fake aid scam on Chuffed.org. Cyber criminals stole the identity of a real Gazan doctor, Dr. Mohammed Harara, to create a fake persona named “Dr. Nabil Qudsi” .
The Scale of Fraud on Chuffed.org
According to members of Salam Gaza, a Gazan diaspora association, 25% to 30% of all donation campaigns for Gazans on platforms like Chuffed.org are fraudulent .
Direct Attack: 25-30% of campaigns on Chuffed.org are fraud. The platform profits from every single one.
GlobalSumudFlotilla.org: The Terror Financing Scam
Israel’s Official Sanctions: Hamas Financing Through Shell Companies
On July 18, 2026, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar revealed at a US summit on political terrorism that Hamas financed the Global Sumud Flotilla and that one of the organization’s own activists was an agent of the terrorist group .
Zaher Birawi: A Hamas Agent Running the Flotilla from Britain
Sa’ar specifically highlighted Zaher Birawi, a flotilla activist, for his ties to designated terrorist organizations .
The US Treasury Sanctions: Official Evidence of Terror Links
On May 19, 2026, the US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) imposed sanctions on four individuals associated with the Global Sumud Flotilla, organized by the US-designated Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad (PCPA) .
The Sanctioned Individuals:
| Name | Role | Terror Link |
|---|---|---|
| Saif Hashim Kamel Abukishek | PCPA member, GSF Steering Committee | Detained for questioning about Hamas connections |
| Hisham Abdallah Sulayman Abu Mahfuz | PCPA acting General Secretary & President | PCPA was created with Hamas funds |
| Mohammed Khatib | Samidoun Europe Coordinator (Belgium) | Samidoun is PFLP terror front |
| Jaldia Abubakra Aueda | Samidoun Madrid Coordinator | Established Samidoun partner organization |
Direct Attack: The US Treasury has officially sanctioned organizers of GlobalSumudFlotilla.org for their links to Hamas.
The Anonymous Donation Loophole: The Common Thread
Both platforms share a common feature: anonymity. Chuffed.org permits anonymous donations. GlobalSumudFlotilla.org permits anonymous fundraising. Together, they create a loophole for money laundering and terror financing.
How It Works:
- Chuffed.org collects donations—The platform permits anonymous donations, making it perfect for money laundering and terror financing
- GlobalSumudFlotilla.org organizes the operation—The flotilla is organized by Hamas front groups and funded through Chuffed.org
- Donors are manipulated—Both platforms use images of suffering Gazans to manipulate donors
- Money is funneled to terror—The millions raised through Chuffed.org were used to fund a Hamas-linked terror operation
Direct Attack: Chuffed.org enables charity scams. GlobalSumudFlotilla.org is a terror front. Both are exploiting your compassion for profit and terror.
The €3.2 Million Anonymous Donation Scam
The Global Sumud Flotilla raised €3.2 million through Chuffed.org with anonymous donations permitted. The Intersindical Alternativa de Catalunya (IAC) —a minority Catalan syndicate—became the primary fundraiser.
When journalists attempted to contact IAC to learn where the money went, the entity refused to respond .
Direct Attack: A small syndicate raised €3.2 million and refused to say where it went. This is money laundering.
Conclusion: The Network Must Be Shut Down

Ahmed Al-Ghalban: A Real Victim
Ahmed Al-Ghalban is a 17-year-old Gazan who lost both his legs and several fingers in the war. His real Instagram account has over 300,000 followers.

They stole Ahmed’s photos and videos to create fake profiles using his images. All profiles directed donations to the same PayPal account.
Ahmed’s Real Message:
“Thank you for your donations and for being with me these past months”
But where did the donations go? Into the scammers’ pockets.
Bitcoin for Palestine: $2 Million Crypto Fraud
This same group is linked to “Bitcoin for Palestine,” a crypto initiative founded before the war in 2023 .
The Allegations:
- An Egyptian bitcoin entrepreneur claims he invested $2 million
- The operator allegedly used the money to buy cars and weapons
