Man saying that they were representing a charity for at risk kids, asked for donations. Offered to donate $20. They "had issues" with the card reader and then charged thousands to the card across multiple transactions to Positive Impact, Positive Youth and Moody Eatz which I did not authorize before handing it back and disappearing before I could see anything from it.

My wife runs a non-profit. She received an email from Christopher Harrington saying he wanted to make a donation and asking how to do it. My wife responded with an address to send a check. He responded to say he and his wife would be donating $2,000 and he would have his assistant send the money. On 1/22/24 my wife's non-profit received a letter from Ibironke Onitiju, 14603 Fonmeadow Dr., Houston, TX with a check (drawn on "Pathward N.A. Sioux Falls, SD") in the amount of $3780 made out to my wife's non-profit. She also received an email from Mr. Harrington asking that she deposit the check immediately and send him a copy of the deposit receipt. By this time she was sure it was a scam, and did not respond to further emails and calls stating that the assistant sent the wrong amount but that she should go ahead and deposit the check and they would work out what to do with the extra amount.

Aleena approached my business trying to collection donations for her non-profit organization. I wanted to give a check but she asked for cash instead. I gave her $1000 in cash, but asked for a receipt from her non-proft for a tax write off. She said she would email me a receipt, as she did not have her receipt book with her. I never received an email and I tried calling her, but the phone number was disconnected. I can now no longer find her non-proft organization online and believe I was scammed.
