I too received a call from 9211248945, the caller identified himself as Mukesh, a volunteer of Relief India Trust located at New Delhi with a request for financial assistance for a cancer patient. The guy sent a link of reliefindiatrust.org and called up 3 times within a hour fund transaction Obviously, he was a scammer desperate for money.

I got a call this morning from someone saying he was calling from Relief India Trust based in New Delhi, from a mobile number 07835053273, asking for a donation of Rs.18360/- “for a child named Shivam whose parents are blind”. He said the above amount was the shortfall to meet the total amount of Rs.150000/- for an urgently needed surgery. As almost everyone who has commented here, I too felt the caller was too pushy and literally begging for money. Naturally I smelt a rat and told him firmly that there was no question of making any payments based on a phone call and I would rather check the credentials of Relief India Trust online and would donate online if it is genuine.

Vishnu, your blog has saved the heart burns for several people. And your determination not to cow down to threats from Relief India Trust is highly appreciable.

Guys,

I had receive few calls from Relief India Trust in past and today again i have receive one. Today the experinace was not good so ia have searched abou this NGO and landed to this page.

So, today i have received a call and the guy mentioned that he is from Relief India Trust and he want to talk about some baby and all, In the conversation i told them that i have DND acitivated on my number and they should not call me and the guy told me that its not a marketing call and i should hear them.

From my past expericance i was aware about such fraud calls so i have simply told him that if i want to make donation then i will do it by myself and they should not have my number and should not call me.

At this point a geniune caller should understand and should drop the call but rather than that the person told me that “aap phone rakh dijiye apse kabhi kisi ka help nahi ho payega”, I was not expecting such responce from an NGO and we have an argument and the cut the call.

Just after 1 minute i have recived sms from the same number from which get the call. See the sms below and think how these guys are operating.

I have received another sms just after this which sayd ” apki email id hai (my mail id)” The email id was correct and that means they have my contact details but i am realy not sure why they have send that info to me.

Now i am realy disturbed after reading this SMS and not able to concentrate on my daily work and thinking if should log a complain against this.

At last, i dont want to talk about the NGO is fraud or not but what i want to say is no NGO should force anyone to help a person in need. I used to help homeless people whom i beleive are true in need but i dont think any organisation should push me like this. If some one is “not intrested” then he is “not intrested” and there is no point to say such words or send such SMS.

Thank You
Shantanu

Thanks man, i too received a call today. When i asked them how did they get my number?, they said that somebody i know who donated to this organization gave them my number. what a bunch of lying bastards.

Guess wat..I have been getting incessant calls as well..to save Pratigya Kumari..and dat too in Novemeber..ppl hav said dat they got the same call in july…and everything mentioned in this blog, has happened in my case as well..bt I was very careful nt to make any donations before becoming fully sure of their credentials..on top of it, everytime they call, it is from a new number..seriously these are a bunch of conmen..trust me, even d messages they sent me is rife with common spelling mistakes, which is another indication of this organisation as a fraudulent one..the volunteer in my case was MANISH (wonder whether d name is fake jus lyk d organisation, it’s address nd phone numbers)

They just called me saying a baby is suffering from blood cancer and needs two lakh rupees. Thanks for this blog otherwise they would have conned me easily into paying some money for this.

Thanks a lot ! Another similar scam is cancaretrust.org . All you kind hearted people , beware ! Don’t loose your hard earned money to these scams

RELIEF INDIA TRUST IS A FAKE NGO.

Let me give you the complete detailed layout of the working structure of this

organisation.

It is actually a call center running under the name “ACCORD BPO” located at:
A-100, Ist Floor,
New Harola, Labor Chowk,
Sector – 4,
Noida (U.P).

Contact no. : 0120-42583131,4546449,4545902 (all these numbers are as per

given on their “offer letter”)
Their HR name and contact number is : Disha (9136123737)

check this link for a copy of the “letter of intent”: http://imgur.com/CNJZCwe

search for “accord bpo address” on google

http://www.careerage.com/dispjob-Accord-BPO-Services-Tele-Callers-20130409-ca4b7435686a3ada1e0be37853ca1aa5.html

People (men/women) come here for interviews “everyday” without knowing what they are getting into.

They usually select everyone and make a batch of around 30-35 people. After that they are given a training of 3-5 days.

Then these trained people are transferred to the “FLOOR” (on first floor where the actual s#@t happens)

The floor has around 150 people working in 4 “PROCESSES”, namely R1, R2, R3 and RT (‘T’ —> people under training)

Each of these 4 ‘processes’ has a ‘Process Manager’.
and each of these ‘processes’ consists of 4 “TEAMS” that is again made up of 8-10 people.

Every ‘team’ is handled by a “TEAM LEADER”.
so you can do the math yourself: there are a total of 16 team leaders. (I can provide you with the names too, but that wont do any good, because these team leaders keep changing every 6 months or so)

AND the entire floor is handled by a single FLOOR MANAGER (currently being run by a shit of a guy named “PIYUSH”).

So there you have it, all the entire structure of this fake NGO, being run in an orderly manner.

Now coming to the working scenario:

The RT batch consists of fresh people who have just been transferred to the ‘floor’ (as I told you above). Each of them is given a initial “TARGET” of Rs 5000. This means that they have to earn a “TOLLING” of Rs 5000 by calling people in the first 15 days, or else they’ll be fired from the job (the first slap to people who thought they’ll start their career with this company).

Every guy/girl is given a “DATA”, an A-4 sized sheet that consists of 30
contacts of “DONORS”.
They have to call on this number and try to convince (i.e. force) them by
whatever means to get money from them in the name of donation.

check this link for a copy of the “DATA”: http://imgur.com/WWf5Qtp

These “DATA”s usually has donors of south Indian cities, so as to invite less trouble.

Everyday, these people get around 6 “Data” sheets. (which makes it roughly around 130-150 calls being made by one person in a day)

After the first 15 days, out of the selected 30, only 5-8 unlucky people are left behind to continue working in this shit-hole.

If a ‘donor’ donates an amount of Rs 1000 or more, the caller gets 10% of that amount on spot as “INCENTIVE”.
As a former employee, I’ve seen ‘donors’ donating amounts like Rs 30k, 50k and also of 86k. And all this goes straight into the pockets of the owners.

The floor manager and all the process managers ‘maintain a constant pressure on all the callers, so as to get a “average tolling” of atleast Rs 1500 per person per day.
They would even make you work for long hours till 8 pm (given a starting
time of 9:30 am) if you don’t get your average tolling right. These f$%ktards will stoop down to any level to get what they want, i.e. MONEY.

Yes, they do have all the details and related legal documents, and a lot of
money and power has been able to save them from any legal troubles for the last 3 years.

I sincerely request, if any of the readers can bring this f#$@ing organisation down, please do so with utmost prejudice.

“For obvious reasons, I’ve removed the name of the person to whom the
above copies belong.”

Dear venugopal
you have really exposed them correctly… keep it up

i too got a call from some harendra for some pratigya. the way call was made sounded fishy and i serached on net. thanks to your blog…

Thanks for your blog. I used to routinely dntate for helpage india, unicief, and many others. however i have stopped donating since last few years. i think these people got my number from one such trust. there phone call was fishy and seemed fake so i checked on the internet immidiaately. Thanks once again.

Hello all,
I have to disagree about whats said in this blog.

I too received a similar call from the same trust to help Mater Sonu (Can see him in the website). I did not want to take anyone’s word so did a bit of googling. I asked them their registration number and they gave me 81349 which checks out on the http://www.ngo.india.gov.in. The website on the registration site also checks out. The certificate shows the registration date as 16/11/2011.

I furthur called AIIMS to check out the patient but unfortunately did not get any response from them.

Now i am torn between the blog and what i could find. But I think i might donate some amount unless someone can point out anything else.

Regards,
P

Guys I too got a phone call from relief India regarding the child PRATIGTA KUMARI who was suffering from blood cancer, in the month of July. Hearing the representative mourns I made a donation of ?1280.

I had asked them to keep me update about the baby’s treatment and all, but I didn’t get any sort of damn call from their team.

I tried calling their number several times but it was no use.
Their number was not valid at all.

After going through these posts, I came to know I have been tricked by these frauds.
They told the child’s condition was serious way back in the month of July and it has been 3 months and even today they are using sane the child’s name to fool people and collect donations.

Something has to be done!

I also received a call from 9211396950 (Prakash) about a girl Bhawna for support in open heart surgery.

Guys, I think am reading this article too late. I ve been donating every month a sum to these ppl. But am curious , they provided me their PAN No and a 80G cerificate. When i searched for their PAN in the Income Tax website it is listed as a Trust account and it seems so Genuine . Am now puzzled… infact hurt, i was in an assumption that money is spent for a cause
