Being told where your money is going, or even being shown paperwork isnt the same as knowing where your money is going, or being in control of where your money is going, or what it's being spent on. If it seems to make sense to be suspicious of where your money is really going, that's because it does make sense to be suspicious of where your money is going.
The people collecting money from people like dishonest tax collectors claimed to be a charity, and many charities that stole from people did have official names and were official organizations. That didnt make the people running them trustworthy people. Of course they were going to keep claiming to be trustworthy, it was to their advantage to do so, that was what kept them in business.
