If I could give a Zero I would. I will never donate to them again or attend any event they organize.I bought a ticket for Yasmine Mogahed event scheduled for Nov22, 2024 here in Edmonton.I bought the ticket on October 20, 2024. I requested a Refund on Oct 22, two days after (within the time limit as I had more than 7 or 10 days to get a refund).No refund has been processed. I waited until today Novembre2, 2024, before emailing Penny Appeal with the screen shots, and letting them know that I will have to involve my Credit Card Company who will take it from them if they do not help me. I said I would rather deal with them before escalating to my Credit Card company. I dealt with the Evenet Manager based in Mississauga: Sarika Aysha VermaEvents Manager at Penny Appeal Canada, Mississauga, Ontario.Right after my email the evenbrite status changed from "Refund Pending" to "Refund Approved", but the lady was dishonest and said the refund has been processed, instead of being truthful, as she only approved the refund after she received my email. The Eventbrite showed it was still pending and soon after I sent my email warning them I will escalate it further to my Credit Card company, the status on Eventbrite changed to "Approved". I took screen shots of it.It is sad that Islam is used to take advantage of people. So many people donate their hard earned money to only find out they have been duped. Luckily for me it was only a ticket, as it had been few years since I donated to them. I have become very cautious who donate to. The reviews on Penny Appeal are so bad on Trust Pilot as well as other sites.We should all do our due diligence before donating.
To add to the growing list of disgusting behaviour by this charity here's an article ordering then to stop spamming their customers. Hungry scammers!• Concerns that donations for child sponsorship and water well programs weren’t used as intended.• Inaccurate recording of donors' intentions.• Reallocation of funds without donor consent.• Misleading information about monthly Direct Debit commitments.• Poor complaints handling.Source: won't show to me to post link. Just Google Penny Appeal Charity and enjoy the horror show.From sexual abuse of children in Gambia to thousands of ££££ worth of non existent projects.
I stopped my payments after reading things about penny appeal. I was a long standing contributer to penny appeal, years. So I phoned them up told them the issues and that they need to stop taking money of my account, I was told that's fine. Next month they went in again made another phone i was told it won't happen again and again the following month they went again. Called again for them to stop taking money out of my account and I want a refund of the two months money that they have taken without authorisation. It's coming up to a year almost no refund keep phoning and get told will sort out but nothing. I honestly use to believe in penny appeal I started with them when hey were new on and off but now been giving for 3 or 4 years now. Don't they know that this is donated money and how strict Islam is about donated money. How do they justify paying salaries to there top 5 people over 4 hundred thousands pounds. They have totally lost their way. Unfortunately there are other muslim charities not all who paying the same wages.
I sponsored 2orphans, but 2 Hindu kids from Bangladesh were assigned to me, I wonder if everyone got the same kids from Bangladesh and it is only a scam.Also they activated a 3rd direct debit ( additional transaction) without my permission.
