A sophisticated phishing scam is targeting Orthodox Jews by impersonating the Adirei HaTorah fundraising platform.

Scammers have been sending text messages and emails containing links to a fraudulent website designed to closely mimic the Adirei Hatorah’s official donation page. The fake site appears nearly identical to the legitimate website, making it difficult for recipients to spot the difference.

The scam website uses the domain “AdireiTorah.com,” which is not affiliated with Adirei HaTorah and is being used to deceive potential donors.

The only legitimate website for Adirei HaTorah is: AdireiHaTorah.com

Anyone who receives a suspicious email or text message requesting donations is encouraged to avoid clicking links and instead navigate directly to the organization’s official website through their web browser.

The warning comes as cybercriminals increasingly use lookalike websites and phishing campaigns to target charitable giving, particularly within close-knit communities where trust in familiar organizations is high.

Community members who may have entered payment information on the fraudulent website should contact their financial institution immediately and monitor their accounts for unauthorized activity.
