I got a call today from a guy who said his name was Varun, from Mission Heal ([protected]). He said he was just returning from AIMS hospital and that he desperately wants me to donate for a baby named Devanshi who's suffering from blood cancer.
He also asked me to verify the genuineness of the call and asked me to check for their site through NGO.India.gov.in which led to http://missionheal.org/case.php Divyanshi case. And he told me he got my contact from a blood donation camp.
He tried to convince me (which he was exceptionally good at) to pay around 5120 (for a medical kit) which I said I cannot afford and I would pay only 1000 and however at the he convinced me to pay 2180(for an injection). He also asked me to share the reference ID and transaction number at the end of the call. Also, he asked for referrals/contacts of my friends who would like to donate (which I did not share).
Unfortunately, I fell for this scam call. Others please be aware.
Also, I sincerely request all the fraudulent organizations/people out there, for God's sake, to stop using such causes/poor kids name as a bait to trap money. Besides these kind of fraud cases makes it impossible for the genuine organizations to claim its genuineness. Hope for the best! Was this information helpful? |
