I WAS ASKED BY A YOUNG WOMAN ON 81 STREET, NEAR PARK AVENUE, MANHATTAN, NYC, TO MAKE A DONATION TO CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL. SHE TOLD ME THE DONATION WOULD BE FORWARDED TO HAITI FOR CHARITABLE NEEDS.
I CLEARLY EXPLAINED TO HER THIS WOULD BE A ONE-TIME DONATION. SHE AGREED TO THIS, THEN SHE ASKED ME TO SIGN, ONCE AGAIN ASSURING ME WHEN I REPEATED THAT THIS WAS A ONE-TIME DONATION . THEN A MONTHLY CHARGE OF $11.99 BEGAN TO APPEAR ON MY CHASE MASTER CARD. ON JUNE 9TH OF 2010, I PHONED TO PUT A STOP TO THESE CHARGES (WHICH I HAD NEVER AUTHORIZED). I KEPT A FOTO-COPY OF THE LETTER SENT TO CHILDREN
INTERNATIONAL ON JUNE 10, 2010. I HAVE THAT FOTO-COPY. AT THAT POINT I HAD BEEN CHEATED OUT OF OVER $200. THE SIGNED LETTER SAYS "PLEASE TAKE MY NAME OFF THE MAILING LIST." AS OF NOV.11, 2014, I WAS STILL CHARGED $11.99 BY FYE*VIP.COM

I was unilaterally assigned a child to sponsor. I was not asked if I wanted to do this. When I declined to sponsor this new child CI withdrew offers to forward mail to the original child I was sponsoring.

Date of occurrence: June 2023
