Just received a call on 04/10/2017 from a person named ankit (+91-[protected]) claiming to be a student volunteer working for ngo agwo asking me donation for a poor girl child named baby kushi burned with electric shock admitted at vinayak hospital noida. He told me that he got my mobile number from a blood donation camp whereas i have never attended any camp. He told me that girl will be undergoing surgery and requires about one lakh help and i should help atleast with approx 13000/- rupees immediately. He pointed me to website http://www.agwo.org/ and presented me with profile of above child with lots of burned pictures and vinayak hospital memo and forms. He requested me to make online payment immediately but i told him that i will make the payment after checking the website. Luckily i called the hospital and came to know that one girl with same name was indeed hospitalized in burns ward but she has already been operated, has recovered and will be discharged tomorrow. Whereas volunteer had told me that girl is going to be soon operated and family requires money for operation. I then checked on google about this ngo and came across so many fraud stories and complaints. Strange finding is that every poster on internet has mentioned same girl name no matter suffering from burns or fallen from school building and that too from last several months. How is it possible? I think they might be helping the poor family but are 100% making extra money through donations. This is really bad and deters genuine people also from helping and trusting ngos. There should be a website or govt authenticated list of genuine ngos. Please check before making payments.
