I 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

Live Agent vs. Agency Bot The live agent "Brittney" was clear and concise in her understanding of my situation and had the information to complete my request as well as providing the reason for the actions. The agency Bot was not going to be a viable tool for my situation. Should I encounter a point and click situation then I will be sure to use the Bot.

Setting up a GoFundMe for a Palestinian… Setting up a GoFundMe for a Palestinian family of three currently trapped and literally starving in Gaza (Rafah). After initial setup, receive message from GFM that my account is 'under review' pending my response to 'urgent' questions re the goals of my fundraiser. People can still contribute but I will not get any of these contributions until this 'urgent' review is resolved. I answer the long list of questions immediately, then hear nothing from GFM. Meanwhile people contribute to the site, but I never see any of the money and am thus unable to forward help to my friend's family in Gaza. Guess GFM Team is not starving and thus can take their time.

Gave £50 to a good cause and charged… Gave £50 to a good cause and charged 16% fee. Don't use don't bother give direct. Cash grabbing fascists.

I have trying to get a response for more than a month I have trying to get a response for several weeks because the transfers are on hold. Gufundme requested information and I sent all they have been asking a month ago. The fundraiser is for the Surgery of my sister and she is in pain, and we haven't been able to get the funds needed to complete the payment of the materials to the hospital.
