Most of the text with a few name changes seem to be taken from these:

www.onelifebulgaria.org/
www.romanianchildren.org/villageofhope.html
(mainly from):
www.sos-childrensvillages.org/html/ sos_children_s_village_in_brovary_ukraine.html
www.soschildrensvillages.org.uk/ charity-news/fifa-mexico.htm
www.soschildrensvillages.org.uk/ charity-news/fifa-south-africa.htm

soschildrensvillages.org.uk is genuine
and the other two may be...

Perhaps soschildrensvillages.org.uk should be notified?

This should go down quickly. They were registered by Direct-I/PDR and they are not up for joking when it comes to internet scammers.

G, Thanks, news to us and we are trying to chase them down. A -----Original Message----- From: A Sent: 24 October 2006 13:27 To: C Subject: FW: Fake charity site - donationeurope.com C I think you ought to look at this. The site is not linked to the UK but is indeed verbatim copying a lot of your website with just the charity name changed to try to raise money falsely. A complaint to the domain host about textual copyright or some substantial contradiction to their claim to have identical projects to ours should help, or you could join the discussion group and post there. A -----Original Message----- From: me Posted At: 24 October 2006 11:29 Posted To: Enquiries Conversation: Fake charity site - donationeurope.com Subject: Fake charity site - donationeurope.com Dear Sirs I don't know if you are aware of the site www.donationeurope.com. Do you have any way of confirming that it is a fake charity? The site registrants address is in Slovakia. Most of the stories on the site have been copied from your site with just the charity name changed, but it's difficult to find evidence to present to the hoster to shut the site down. This is being discussed at http://forum.aa419.org/viewtopic.php?t=6644 If you have any information I would be pleased to hear from you. Regards, G

I am getting into correspondence with these people to try to find out if they are in fact genuine and have attributable lines of support.
We'll see what happens with them.
If they are a scammer they deserve the best possible fate.

Have you gotten a response?

If not, then I'm going to declare this scam -- there is no way this is legit:

Applicants are told to communicate directly with this web site, not with donationeurope@yahoo.com -- it's a scam.

It's the exact same scheme as rheart.org was (taken down by me about a week ago). Recruiting people as "charity agents" (Sweet, isn't it?). Just the same old money laundering mule scam. Please add to DB.
