A sucker per minute In the USA they have a popular saying “There’s a sucker born every minute” and as far as I am concerned anyone who is mindwiped enough to hand money to (sometimes) complete strangers begging online, either has far too much money or is indeed a “sucker”. GO FUND YOURSELF !!!!!!!!!!!

Fraud & Deceit Warning!! Be sure to carefully check out any request for funds because the folks at GoFundMe seems to be lacking any standards for honesty and integrity. They DO NOTHING to shut down identified scammers. My niece submitted a beautifully written request (created with AI) to plead for money due to her self-proclaimed dire heart condition. Unfortunately, her story is nothing more than a pack of lies. She has currently collected thousands of dollars, and her account remains active even though multiple family members have reported her fraudulent actions to GoFundMe. I'm appalled by my niece's behavior, and dismayed by the lack of oversight at GoFundMe. Sadly, I can't trust the integrity of GoFundMe and will no longer use them for my charitable donations.

Just helped a colleague who had sadly… Just helped a colleague who had sadly passed away on the gofundme site. Was DISGUSTED to see they had added a 15% charge. BE VERY CAREFUL TO REMOVE THIS "OPTIONAL" TIP before submitting your donation. Horrible.

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.

GoFundme only cares about good publicity Thousands of fundraisers on Gofundme haven't recieved a cent after months or even years, yet Gofundme only shows the ones that have already made thousands. Even worse, you can't filter to help someone start their fundraiser, you can only filter for ones that are almost complete. This shows that Gofundme cares more about a single success story for their website than actually helping people :(
