Editorial notice
Patterns documented from public scam reports and provider feedback. New patterns emerge; report new ones to us via /contact.
- Refugee-camp 'volunteer' programs marketed to short-term tourists — most reputable refugee work requires sector qualifications and longer commitments.
- Petra and Wadi Rum 'cultural volunteer' programs that are tourist itineraries with a marketing layer.
- 'Visit Zaatari camp' or 'Visit Azraq camp' style tourist offerings — refuse.
- Provider claims of 'Syrian refugee' work without UNHCR or established NGO partnership.
