Notes on fraud and deception
Unfortunately, there are cases where people pretend to be HIFA (Help for All) employees. They deceive people out of their money. This money does not benefit those in need!
In the past, such attempts have been made by phone calls, emails, social networks, or similar on the internet.
Therefore, we provide some tips to minimize and avoid fraud attempts. We implore you for your cooperation and in case of suspicion, please inform us.
We will never ask you to transfer donations to an account other than our donation account.
Our donation account is with Raiffeisenbank and is 2 606 226, BLZ 32000,
IBAN: AT 733 200 000 002 606 226, BIC: RL NWATWW Account holder: HIFA (Help for All).
We will never ask you for cash. Our employees are not allowed to accept donations in cash. Exceptions are sales events and official meetings such as the general assembly where donations are accepted. There will always be a deposit receipt.
We will never ask you to book a trip for us.
We organize and coordinate all trips of our volunteers ourselves. In case of passport loss or visa problems, our volunteers contact the responsible HIFA office. We then support them in all matters.
If you are unsure whether a donation request is legitimate, please contact the police or our office and inquire:
