I donated money to a petition as I don't have social media, and it was a cause that I believe in. I got an email notification that confirmed a single one off donation. At the exact same time I received another email with the same subject heading so i did not notice that in fact two different confirmation emails had been sent. It was an email saying that I'd set up a monthly donation. Logging into change.org there is no record of my monthly standing order so I had to cancel via PayPal. I have tried to contact Change.org twice now for a refund and they've not responded. It is not a charity, its is a scam. I did not knowingly agree to pay monthly donations to change.org (a for profit company that doesn't appear to do anything really other than host random binary opinion polls). I have attached the two screenshots of the emails that were sent, the first confirming a one off payment and the second thanking me that I'd set up a monthly donation.

Tip for consumers:
Know that this is a for profit organisation, and be careful when making donations as they try to trick you into paying more than you intended
