Community members are being warned about a sophisticated scam involving fraudulent text messages and emails that direct recipients to a fake donation website designed to closely resemble the official Adirei HaTorah website, the BMG Administration told TLS moments ago.
According to the administration, scammers have created a duplicate webpage and are distributing links through electronic communications in an apparent attempt to deceive individuals into making donations through the fraudulent site.
Residents are urged to exercise caution and carefully verify website addresses before making any charitable contributions.
Officials emphasized that the web page – which is a couple letters off – is not the legitimate website and should not be used for donations.
The official website for Adirei HaTorah is:Â AdireiHaTorah.com
Anyone who receives a suspicious donation request is encouraged to double-check the website address and avoid clicking links from unsolicited messages.
Wouldn’t it help to post the fake site so we all know which one to stay off?
The fake website is hosted by Squarespace, go report it!
Mother of all ironies.
Now they know they’ve made it in life – when someone is trying to scam them!
They’re not scamming BMG. They are scamming you, the supporters.

Why don’t you write the difference between the two? i received a text and they told us the difference: The legitimate one has the letters “Ha” written before the word “Torah” while the scammers website has the letters “Ha” MISSING and they write Adireitorah WITHOUT “Ha”

“Please do not donate your hard earned money to those who claim to be Abirei HaTorahnicks,” Reb Shpielmacher pleaded. “Click on the link below and make a donation to the real Abirei HaTorah website, and may the light of my two revered rabbeim – the Vilna Gaon and the Shaagas Aryeh – shine upon you until eternity. Tizku L’Matzohs!”
