Just because the link is not clickable does not mean its a scam, its easy enough to paste the link into your browser, and normally you see the contact details of the paypal account holder before you confirm payment anyway, I also never said anywere in my post that your not entitled to be suspicious, but if you really were concerned you could easily have contacted the charity.

I HAVE contacted the charity a couple of hours ago, and am awaiting their response - I have also tweeted both JJ&J on repeat, so hopefully they will verify this is a genuine website on her twitter at some point. Furthermore ANYONE can set up a paypal account and close it down just as easily once funds are withdrawn (I should know I was scammed a few years ago on ebay). I also would NEVER buy from a website which did not display clear and checkable contact details (phone number, checkable address etc). Anyone who does needs their head testing.

I wouldnt buy from a site with no contact details either, thats why I was saying if you were concerned it was a scam you should contact the charity and ask them.
