What is it?

BEWARE OF eDonation! This is a fraudulent company. I made donations on 2 different cards and on BOTH cards they added 2 extra donations on one card and 10 extra donations on the other card. I am disputing all 12 charges now, and canceling the cards, but this is a horrible waste of time disputing all the charges. Avoid this scamming company!

I noticed a charge for $15.00 on my online banking for August 24. I did NOT make this or any donation for this amount or time. Please refund the amount of $15.00 as soon as possible! This kind of behavior gives donating to charities a bad name.

I had a similar experience to that of Mary Jane C. above. One credit card was charged 3 times and another credit card was charged twice for small amounts. But the e-Donations web page for searching for donations could not locate any charges. https://support.edonation.com/lookup/

I tried calling but got only a recording, and then posted a complaint with one of the banks. A few hours later, I checked both banks, and the charges had been removed completely. So I suspect that website problems contributed to the double and triple charging - at least this time. I got a thank you note for one of the donation recipients, but since it was apparently canceled I do not know what will happen next. It is pathetic that a website that handles so much money cannot even spend a few cents to post a note on the site when they are having difficulties and cannot change their phone recorded message to tell donors what is happening.

I made two different one time charges on two different debit cards. They were set up as one time only but it was changed by someone in the company to be a monthly charge. When I checked my account with Winred, my password had been changed. All the same letters were there but symbols had been added scattered throughout the password and a :) at the end. It was hacked! You have to close the card with your bank and tell them not to authorize any recurring charges. Any charges you have that are ligitament will be have to be notified of the new card number. Ask the bank to dispute the charges because this is not going to do anything. I wonder if President Trump or any of the Congress members are aware of this. It's all over the Internet.

My valid charge was for a contribution to a political candidate via secure.campaignsolutions.com.

The charge on my CC Card appeared as "edonation 2." I searched in this website... https://support.edonation.com/lookup/ ...... for my transaction and quickly discovered it was totally legit! My charge was for a DVD I ordered from a non profit org, Citizens United. They are merely a CC processor for many, many different companies. I am guessing that mine said "2" because a couple years ago I had ordered a different DVD from the same org. Their name, "Campaign Solutions, Inc" represents "campaign" fund raising - NOT necessarily "political" and NOT necessarily for non profits - simply campaign fund raising, processing, collections, etc. for MANY types of business.
