GoFundMe should get a special award for being the panhandling internet scam site of the century. If these criminals had divvied up the booty equally and not tried to scam each other, they never would have gotten caught. After actually having taken in and trying to help several homeless people over the years and being successful once... I was taken in by these scam artists.

I didn’t send them any money but I believed the story.

That $400,000 they raised could have been put to good use.

They stole from the people that needed that money.

They robbed from the needy.

That’s about as low as you can get.

I bet if they set up a GoFundMe page that describes their legal troubles and financial hardships, they could pull in another $400K.

It was SUCH a feel good story, and me being a natural cynic/skeptic.. I thought there was something a little too good to be true about the story. I really hated being right on this one, it was a great story.

A gift is a gift.

The scammers on the sidewalks and intersections aren’t even prosecuted for tax avoidance, let alone fraud.
