Ukrainian business owner in SLC concerned about family, warns of possible donation scams

Maxim Morozoff is one of those. He has been making and selling ice cream and gelato in the Beehive State since 2009.

“Pistachio, cookies and cream, cotton candy. When people taste my product, they say, 'Oh, that’s good,' so I kept it 'good-good,' that’s 'Bon-Bon,'" said Morozoff, the owner of Bon-Bon.His parents live in Germany, and while visiting them, he went to gelaterias. He says he was fascinated by the dessert, and knowing that Utahns love ice cream, he wanted to bring that yummy treat here with his own spin.

His business is growing, and he’s secured another big client. His product is slated to hit Harmons shelves next week.“I try to stay on the phone with them as much as possible, as much as possible, I mean like 20 phone calls a day,” said Morozoff.“First, you are overwhelmed because you do not know what is going to happen tomorrow, [if] they’re going to be alive even. Both of my grandparents probably turning in the casket right now, seeing one brother kill another brother,” said Morozoff.

He also says he wants to remind people to be aware of scams on the internet that claim to support Ukrainians right now. Some tips to avoid scams: Look up a relief effort through a site like BBB Wise Giving Alliance or Charity Navigator. Also, paying by credit card can sometimes offer an additional layer of protection.
