Skimming too much off the top
Dodgy experience with Youcaring website
I was running in past fundraisers on Youcaring website and never have had bad experience.I was registered there with my email address. This time I decided to register at Youcaring website with third party application of Youcaring itself connected with my facebook account,not knowing what trouble can that bring.Does it ring to you?Yes you giving your facebook password to them and many more.It was requested of me to change beneficiary's paypal email address into another by beneficiary itself,because beneficiary would be different then.I couldn't do it manually,there was no option to do so.So I got in touch with Youcaring administration.They were very helpful,giving link to me for changing beneficary's paypal address.I was only organizer in fundraiser,as always.I registered with facebook account on Youcaring website for one reason only,so people can check my transparency and posts which would be in connection to fundraiser as solid proof of why and what for I am running fundraiser.The dogs I rescued needed more help with donations.This was big mistake : 1) Registering Youcaring account with facebook account and maybe also 2) Requesting changing beneficiary's paypal address.Me as organizer could not access beneficiary's paypal to withdraw donation,nor I was beneficiary.Also Total amount of donations does not change if donations would be withdrawn.Happen,that I noticed somebody without my permission and without my request changed for second time beneficiary's paypal address.It was changed into : Name : Mobeen ,Surname : Khan and into beneficiary's paypal address : Kieran_walshaw_98@***.com .As soon I noticed it I deactivated fundraiser.I was worried if more donors would donate where donations would go and are donations stolen the ones were already on fundraiser donated.I sent complaint to Youcaring administration,there was no reply for about 3 days,I got in touch with one of donors who donated via same fundraiser asking donor to check is his donation withdrawn or not,and giving explanation to what happen,that fundraiser was hacked.Donation was stolen by same name,surname and paypal address I gave here,just that only from donor information about it was not Capital letter K in Kieran,but it was small letter k.Donor got in touch with Youcaring administration,they replied to donor and then after to me.Again,how ignorant they were to my 10-15 emails complaints for 3 days,and as soon donor complaint they replied to us both.At the end there was no transparency from Youcaring administration,their security and safety is not safe and secure for members to register via third party application with Youcaring application which was connected to my facebook account.I was furious because for 3 days no single reply came from Youcaring at start.At end they said,it must be that to somebody I gave my email password.What has gotta to do my email password with registering at Youcaring with registered facebook account.I told them ,this is from your end you lack security and safety with third party applications and you can easy check up on every logging detail because every website can see IP addresses of logging in.I told them I reported it to law authorities,why they don't do same! The answer was they will report to paypal.And me to report to local authorities.I told them reporting foreigner to local authorities is not in jurisdiction of local authorities,I reported it to international law authorities because I don't know where does hacker live,where he she or they are from.Also weak spot is do not change beneficiary's paypal ever in Youcaring fundraiser,I was thinking every each time if requested of me beneficiary's paypal address to be changed that I have to ask Youcaring administration for permission to let me do it.But that weak spot also gives them space to blame on you saying that only once needed to be requested and could be changed after with same link,I didn't knew this either.So,dogs stayed without donations,donors were ripped off and no transparency by Youcaring providing solid proof of their words written in emails.I asked many questions,on many questions they never answered.This was fundraiser link : https://www.youcaring.com/pansionzapsemaza-832791 Gordana Stetin
- It took 3-4 days for administration to reply to my complaint
- Service
- How they went about receiving a donation to themselves
Preferred solution: Full refund
Set up a fundraiser to build shelters for the homeless.......
I only had my fundraiser up and running for 2 days in total - then I get an email to say that it had been taken down/removed from the youcaring webite, and that they do not need to give me a reason whatsoever, simply no reason given and no reply when I asked why this has happened. I could not believe my *** luck.
So it seems that you can start a fundraiser to help sick animals just so long as it is not sick or needy humans. Apalling indeed!
To me, it is simply not worth the headache with youcaring, who are a bunch of hypocrites who don't care at all. I will try elsewhere-maybe.....
- Ease of setting up a fundraiser
- Sudden deleting of account-unable to upload pics on site
Preferred solution: To use another fundraiser site
Nope, nothing was ever resolved over this matter- Just don't bother with them if you plan to set up a fundraiser to help other needy humans- animals are fine- just not humans......
"What is your relation to the campaign holder, XXXXXXXXX?"
I tried multiple times to donate to my friend's cause. I had just received a new card so the first couple times I figured the problem was just that.
NO. It turns out you must clarify how you know the campaigner and/or link a social media page. I donated $100 and got the confirmation, and they returned it. They emailed me that I had to confirm how I know the campaigner.
WTF?
And they also said they had not found any payments under my name even though I had the confirmation. I'd supply the receipt but I don't want my info out there.

Poor customer service; possible fraudulent pratices
- No phone number
- Poor customer service
Please DO NOT DO Business with these people:
- Nothing about them was good
Discriminated!!!
- Are discriminated
Preferred solution: To let Youcaring.com let me fundraiser for my friend
this should be spread far and wide
Allow scammers on their site and when notified do nothing
They inflated the amount donated
Ripped off with Houston Relief fund.
- How they went about receiving a donation to themselves
- You are a scam website
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution
YouCaring's new name is, "We don't give a ***".
I have just mentioned, in my previous review, of YouCaring.com, about the unarmed black man, Dejuan Guillory, who was shot dead by the Louisiana police, and how a fundraising page was set on YouCaring.com, which it has immediately given priority to and posted it on its front page. The fundraising page is to get money for the bail of the former girlfriend, Dequince Brown, who has shown enormous courage, against the police.
Please note, that I strongly commend this girls bravery, in regards to the police's actions. And I wish that she gets the funds to bail her out of jail. My only beef was with YouCaring.com, which jumps at the opportunity, to also get money from that fundraising effort, as well. I am a human rights blogger and I have always reported on police brutality and government corruption.
See y blog, "Canada Human Rights Abuse is Exposed. The Truth is Revealed". Today, I am also facing relentless persecution, as a result of exercising my right to freedom of speech. As well as in trying to protect my legal rights and my human rights.
I commend anyone, that stand up for justice. And those of us that do, we hope to get the public support, as well.
If not, those like me, will just keep on doing what we are doing, until we see the change, that we are fighting for. My condolences, to Dequince Brown, you're a very courageous woman.
Okay, now I know for sure that YouCaring.com, has clearly blocked my fundraising page, from being featured, with the other fundraisers on its site. Today, July 11, I just looked at the fundraising page, under Emergencies and Disaster, which I should have posted on, and saw a new fundraising page posted, for a man name Dejuan Guillory, that was been shot by police on July 6th.
This means that YouCaring.com allowed this fundraiser to be seen on its front page, as a top priority. And I am guessing that it is because it also believe, that this fundraiser will also generate a lot of donations. While I sympathized for this man's family, I think that it is also inherently unfair to other fundraisers, like me (See Valerie Guillaume, under Emergencies and Disaster, YouCaring.com), not to have their fundraising page featured at all, on that page. My life has been turned upside down, by the Canadian authorities, because of its relentless persecution of me, which has left me and my animal homeless, by the Toronto Fire Services and the Office of the Emergency Management and the Toronto Red Cross.
They all colluded together to put me out on the street and to not allow me to return to my home. I have been forced out of my home countless times, over the years, by the Canadian government, in order to destabilized me. And this is all part of its persecution of me, as a human rights blogger, living in Canada. The latest proof that I have of them also blocking my activities online, is with YouCaring.com.
I have never had my fundraising page featured with the other fundraisers, by YouCaring.com and this was intended to block me from getting any donations. I posted the link on my Google+ page and on Twitter and that's it. YouCaring.com not only blocks some fundraisers, but also "promoted" those other fundraisers that it thinks will also generate money (a lot of money), and in which case, YouCaring.com will also get its "cut" from it. This is dishonest and should be exposed.
And since I am in the business of exposing corruption, why not start here, with YouCaring.com. as well?.
- I question its professional integrity and honesty
- No customer service
Since I posted that comment about YouCaring.com, on Pissed consumer, I am also wondering why Pissed consumer, also did not print my name along with my picture?. It has posted my picture up (seen here), but not my name to go along with it.
I did not write an anonymous review, but I identified myself and that part was hidden from my review. Since I had told YouCaring.com, that I would be complaining, publicly and loudly, if they did not respond to my complaint, about not showing my donation page, along with the other fundraisers, in my category (which is Disaster and Emergency), then I would think that Pissed consumer would also be transparent as well. Anyway, I plan to take my fundraising page down soon, but anyone wishing to donate to help me and my animal, who have been made homeless, by the actions of the Canadian government and its local authorities, can also visit my fundraising page. It is Valerie Guillaume, under the Disaster and Emergency category, of YouCaring.com.
IT is about trying to fight for my human rights and to stop the persecution against me.

Youcaring is not so caring
Scam - Ruins the real fundraisers
Fundraiser for Charles Robert Saxon is a fraud. Can NOT contact anyone from youcaring.com.
They will not respond to any emails. I am to now believe the entire site to be a scam and STEALING from people who actually want to help. Please DO NOT make ANY donations to this site. I personally will be contacting authorities to press charges of fraud against whomever organized the post.
Claims that it was Betty Saxon but it wasn't. Claims it is Houston, Tx; it isn't.
All lies!! I place complete and total responsibility on the company, youcaring.com, for not verifying information placed on there site.
- Lies
- Fraud
- Theft
Preferred solution: Full refund

So you raised 43 Euros and only 2 of the 3 dogs have been eaten at this point. Why are you complaining again?
