Gofundme has become the digital equivalent to street panhandling.

In both cases there are certainly folks who truly need the help but because of some who seek to exploit it how are we supposed to determine need from greed?

Too many times I see on local news stories about people that had a death in the family or home damage of some sort that are asking for gofundme donations.......I thought that was what insurance was for.
