Pratham Foundation — It is a fake NGO to whom I paid money for donation

Address: New Delhi, Delhi, 110053
Website: www.prathamfoundation.org

Today I got a call from a person named Nipun jain from pratham foundation with phone number [protected]. He was saying that a girl named shanya is injured severely and they need a donation. So I donated 2500 rs immediately and later I found that this is a fake organisation. Thier website is www.Prathamfoundation.org. He spoke to me for atleast 30 minutes that I got brainwashed and donated the money. He has shown me some certificated and government registration number. So I believed him and donated the money. Please don the needful

I was also being called regularly for the past one week on my mobile from mobile no. [protected]. the person name as sent to me by through whatsapp is Aakash Mathur. They were calling for donation to meet the the child sandhya medical expenditure suffering from burns. She has been admitted to APPOLO Burns Hospital in Patna. . Went through the horrifying photos sent through whatsapp was about to donate. But thought of checking the genuinity of the case through the web. Now after seeing the reviews i am in doubt and even though wanted to help now i am taken back.

yes man same/ ditto things happens to me ... #### peoples
I also got duped from a person who claimed himself as a college student and volunteer of Pratham foundation. Today morning during early office hours I got a call from following no. [protected] requesting to help a girl name Kalpana who got several burn injuries. I tried to tell them give me some time as I was very busy in my office work. But he started doing emotional blackmailing. He told me very little time on his hand otherwise the girl will die. Within 10 minutes I got another call from no.[protected] claiming that I spoke to his junior. These people don't give you time to think. They do emotional blackmailing. So be careful. Don't get duped like me. I paid Rs.5000/- after 10 minutes again I got a call to pay some money. This time from a lady. She was literally begging and requesting transfer some more amount. But, I refused, then she sent SMS. I am sure guys this is fake NGO. So better be careful.

Please see this link. This is NGO site of Government and Pratham Foundation is mentioned in that.
Pratham is a real LEGIT NGO - http://pratham.org/

http://prathamfoundation.org/ is a SCAM!.. They are kind of impersonating Pratham.org which in itself is a crime.

People will call with the same story { some kind of volunteer calls; baby; some kind of trauma; emergency operation; urgent need of money } from a different organization.. They will tell you they have proof on their website that they are a real NGO.. These photos of certificates are fake/hold no credibility/or aren't certificates at all.. Please do not fall for this...

If you verify and find what I say to be correct, please like this review so that it appears on top and helps inform others.
