Once you give authorization for a… Once you give authorization for a monthly donation, there is no way to withdraw this, although they promise how simple that can be. The link to send an email to Avaaz never worked so you'll end up writing a letter (it's 2020 dammit) to stop this fraud.

Just sign important petitions I just sign the more important petitions , I rarely get spam and its only for important petitions that I'm happy to sign . They are like many charities that have one off donations and standing order donations that repeat every month , it's a bit too easy to press for repeat donations by mistake and it's quite hard to correct the mistake . Loss a star for that . Currently they have 1.4 Million signatures on a petition to Trial Putin for war crimes , I think that's pretty good .

"Secure" avaaz sells our email adresses to third parties!!! Used to sign petitions in "secure" avaaz, but my email box is now full of SPAM every day, starting from sexual email to all kinds of phishing and scams. I never gave permition for my email adress to be distributed. "Secure" Avaaz sells email adresses, and unsolicited emails from Meetic even come with a tittle: «through avaaz», which confirms where all the SPAM came from.

Be careful when signing a donation My advise is be very careful when donating. Like some others I authorized a one-off donation and the amount has been taken off my account every month ever since. The biggest problem is that when I access my account to view the donations there is no record of them, the only way to try and cancel the charge is via a contact form and it seems wrong - you should be able to view and manage your donations within the account. I emailed and used the contact form and since there has been no answer I had no choice but cancel my card.

I have supported causes for 16 years I have supported causes for 16 years on Avaaz, for indigenous people, for women's right and for the nature. Avaaz has always represented all kind of people, and they continously inform and involve the members and those interested. I know there has been and is a certain unbalance regarding e.g. the Middle East, but no worry - you are always welcome to make your own petition! And like anyone else, I can simply choose what to sign and what not to sign. I never got any spam from them. I have supported 7-8 causes without problems. I also supported monthly for 2 years, and had to stop 2 years ago. I emailed them, and they cancelled my monthly payment. I startet again 6 months ago, because they do a highly important job.
