GBAbsolutely shocking customer service Absolutely shocking customer service. There was an error in my donation that meant I transferred much too much money - go fund me say they will happily refund a mistaken donation. So I put in the request, contacting them over and over agani - despite being told I'd get a reply in 24 hours, I heard nothing. After 4 days I managed to speak to a live chat human not a robot. They promised to escalate and get back to me by the end of the day, I have still heard nothing 48 hours later. I am now in serious financial dire straits, and the poor fundraisers themselves have heard nothing. How can anyone trust making a donation through go fund me when they behave like this? I have never been so disappointed with any company. I will return here with an update to see if they do ANYTHING. But at the moment all they seem to do is take money for nothing. Awful -do not trust them at all.

ESI donated £100 to a 'Ugandan… I donated £100 to a 'Ugandan orphanage', I became suspicious after them (the 'orphanage') contacting me directly through social media. I tried to contact the organiser of the fundraiser to find out some further information who apparently is US based but they haven't replied?. The man who contacted me from the 'Orphanage' was asking me to share the go fund me link and had multiple different named social media sites, he was also sending images and videos from the 'Orphanage' which was odd . I asked for documentation to see its a registered NGO so I could be confident in helping further via gofundme. I since realise the documentation he provided is fake, I complained to Gofundme and they have not checked the 'orphanage' out, its still raising money despite almost certainly being fake, I have not been 'covered' despite the wonderful advertisements of being fully covered on the Gofund me website and I have received no moneyback as guaranteed and the reply from Go Fund me support was very unprofessional. I will never trust this site again. Do not believe your money is 'guaranteed' it IS NOT. They are not tackling or even have any interest in the fact the fundraiser is FAKE and I gave proof. No interest whatsoever. I'm sure the media would have a field day if they knew this sort of thing was happening and judging by the comments...its happening regularly

GBSneaky tactic by go fund me to extract extra money from me I was delighted to make a charity donation of £20 but very disappointed at the misleading tactic go fund me used to attempt to extract an extra £3.20 from me. Sneaky and naughty.

CADo not use gofundme or face losses and stress I couldn’t have imagined months of time would be lost trying to do a gofundme campaign that people have wanted to donate to and share the past 5 months. Do to ongoing problems, in the beginning having to set up new email addresses and campaigns because of not getting the email to set up banking info, then not being able to access the account because each time it does not accept the password, then having to go through their cumbersome bot that brings no resolution before then having to go through the chat process and then the password reset process chat only to go through it again each time we try to access the account. Dealing with the dysfunctional system at gofundme has cost thousands of dollars in losses having paid people to set it up in social media platforms but not being able to promote it due to the gofundme acct problems. when someone is living with chronic pain, has no income and while people want the campaign out to support it, dealing with gofundme bring in such a desperate situation, gofundme is giving people the push to take the life when going through the stress, cost and time to get help, without and results because of gofundme’s dysfunctional platform and problems they don’t fix. People need to boycott gofundme. 5.5 months with ongoing problems with the gofundme acct, no resolution despite the numerous times gofundme has been contacted about the problem and people lined up to donate and share while the campaign goes no where due to the account problems while a person doesn’t have the means to pay for medications or travel to get to treatments. No one should ever be robbed if the time and face the stress that has been endured trying to get help only to put in a more destitute position because of the dysfunction and lack of resolution with gofundme

CAI am an organizer I am an organizer, the beneficiary dont have access to a bank account. This is first time I am running a campaign, we mistakenly attached the organizer banking details with beneficiary account. I want to cancel that and add organizer banking details. Reached out to customer service via chat as this is the only option they have other than email which I already sent 3 times and did not get any response. The agent was taking 5 min before answering my each message, then the agent said she is going to close the chat and instead going to send me an email, she closed the chat and I never received any email. Fund are stuck and those fund are urgently needed to the family could die due to hunger if they did not receive those funds.
