Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation

"BEWARE THAT THEY SHARE YOUR DETAILS! After feeling pressured to donate I made a one-off donation. Ever since then I have received endless phone calls from a variety of charity organizations for the last few months. Seemed suspicious so I called Peter Mac to see if they have shared my details. YEP they do! You need to call to request that your information not be shared. So annoyed. I wish I had just stood my ground and said no as I already donate to a number of reputable charities that DON’T sell on my personal contact details!"

"Dishonesty, lies, deception and false promises! They use deception and lies non-stop just to make money. If they expose themselves as grifters from the get-go, then how can we trust them and expect that they do the right thing with our money???? They obtained my contact details by pure outright deception! they promised me a free life-saving guide more than a month ago, but they did not deliver. They continued to deceive and asked for more unnecessary personal details. Just now I received an email from their liar-in-chief CEO with what appears to be a link to the promised life-saving guide, instead. it took me to a stupid survey, and after I filled it, it took me straight to the payment page, with no sign of the promised guide! more than a month has passed and I did not receive their life-saving guide! THEY DON'T APPEAR TO BE INTERESTED IN SAVING LIVES. Period."

"Was stopped at my local supermarket by what seemed to be a marketer or sales person trying to persuade me to donate to the foundation. While the intention of donating to a cancer foundation is a good cause, the tactics used is deplorable and distasteful; trying to convince people to sign up and hand over CC details only to undermine them when they question how it works just brings you a bad image. If there was gold coin or paper note donations a lot more people would be inclined to donate as opposed to essentially creating a repeatable billed amount on your CC/Debit Card with no transparency knowing how much of these funds are actually going towards the foundation and what is being siphoned to the businesses/agencies responsible for setting these stands up."

"I have no experience with this place, I have, however just had 2 people at my door attempting to get donations.... I live in Queensland, whenI asked what funding they recieved from. the government and they said none... flat out lied to me also based in Melbourne, but are sending people to rural, struggling communities trying to survive after devastating floods, how much more disgusting can you be"

"A lady from the foundation called me today, to ask for some help. She explained details of the job that Peter is working on. She was polite, and patient. I felt her honesty. Since my financial situation is not good at the moment, I could not pay her monthly, she then asked me to put some little donation, I was happy to give the foundation $50 by credit card. At the end of the day, Peter's job will save a lots of Australian lives."
