Like any link that involves money I don't take it at face value and approach it independently. For example I have an email from the internet archive with a button linked to https://archive.us20.list-manage.com/track/click? u=38bd6154386f64fcd92204a25&id=e63e325a46&e=f57124f0a6 No, thanks. I'll start with looking Internet Archive in the browser, which leads to https://archive.org/. There is a Donate button leading to a separate page that looks legitimate. If you're still paranoid Mail your donation to: Internet Archive C/O Philanthropy Department 300 Funston Avenue San Francisco, CA 94118-2116 However there is a note that they cannot accept anything other than USD.
