Hi Zulfiqar,

As there are a lot of online charity scams who takes advantage of people's good will. Forgive us for bring skeptical as we have exposed a couple already. No intentions of being mean. We would just like to have an update on the situation.

Have you guys tried asking your sponsor/embassy for help?

Have the 4 of you tried splitting the bills?

Have you guys tried working to pay off the bills?

Have you guys paid up the repairs?

How much are the damages and the hospital fees?

Where are the receipts or documents?

We would very much like to see some evidence of this money put to use.

1. Have you guys tried asking your sponsor/embassy for help?

- We do not inform our sponsor/embassy in a formal way yet.

2. Have the 4 of you tried splitting the bills?

- Yes we do. Each of us need to contribute 25% from the total cost

3. Have you guys tried working to pay off the bills?

- Yes we do. Currently we do fruit picking and some one-off jobs to compensate the lost.

4. Have you guys paid up the repairs?

- As up today, we manage to pay the towing/storage cost ( NZD 240) also NZD 700 for the Nissan March ( car that I drove).

5. How much are the damages and the hospital fees?

- See the updates

6. Where are the receipts or documents?

- For now we only received medical report and also bills for the towing. But unfortunately I cannot upload it now because I did not bring it along to my workplace. The distance is about 7 hours by bus.

- About the Infringement Offence Notice (ION), we only received the news from the police in charged through text message. No any formal letter received yet.

7. About the scam issues, we are truly sorry for not providing enough evidence. This is because it involved personal car not rental car from any company. Next, we did not get any formal letter for the police report and ION. Only received text message from the police in charge.

Salaam,

Is it possible to donate using a UK debit card? If not through this website, possibly via bank transfer?

My condolences, glad to hear there were no fatalities and I very much hope that this issue can be quickly resolved.
