Review for AmeriCares Foundation, Inc., Stamford, CT, USA
Americares is so bad they make me afraid to donate to anyone. I received a mailing from them where they promised to only contact me once a year, and I looked up their financials, they seemed pretty good so I donated. Biggest.mistake.ever. They have proceeded to contact me weekly for the past year, continually hitting me up for more donations despite the fact I have contacted them 10 separate times to tell them to stop contacting me that I will never give them another penny ever they keep mailing. It's ridiculous. When I look at their reported amount of fundraising it doesn't seem possible, so I suspect that there may be something funny up with how they report the money they spend because they certainly were dishonest with me.
