I haven’t received any donations, but I don’t see how you can get scammed by that. For itch.io, there are two options you can do for payout.

If you’re worried about itch.io taking your donations, I don’t think they will. Although if you don’t withdraw your money, they may start charging maintenance fees depending on how much money there.

Itch.io actually uses the open revenue sharing model where you choose what percentage of your revenue goes to itch.io (0%-100%).

I don’t want hackers or bots or scammers to dig into my bank account and steal my goods.

Then link your Paypal account to itch.io instead of your bank account. You can also withdraw the funds from your itch.io account as soon as you can to avoid any issues if your account is hacked. But I think you’ll be fine if you don’t give any bank details who anyone who asks for it.
