GoFundMe warning signs... Avoid these at any cost... Even if you know them personally or story looks legit

[hunkyfunky2]

If the fund started immediately after the event... 

- death? Are you saying family doesn't have 10k? If not close friends who started the fund can "loan" it. 

- death after accident / sudden : insurance covers some expenses and any full time job has basic coverage which runs into 20k to 50k.

- death of a consultant without life insurance or other benefits: post the consultancy owner name and his details so that people can judge . 

- death of a student? Cost is 4k to send the body. It's one of the last charity acts that our gajji sangams do. Take advantage of them.

- my point is 99% of the times, these are started by friends who wanted to help and think starting a fund is the best thing to do. It's not... 

If there is no documentation of justification in the post 

- hospitalization: show proof of expenses, insurance overage , etc.

- If they start the fund at x and keep increasing it. 

Any story about single bread winner and need to take care of kids and family here and in India. Publish entire story , all property details and then ask.

I'll start shaming those who share these campaigns and those who question the need for them to the death. Be warned...

If you say, I know him or he belongs to our community or ex colleague- be prepared to answer the questions..

When they set the gofundme campaign goal at 100K initially, that was their original estimate of ALL the expenses. Then they keep increasing it beyond 500K just because the money keeps pouring from dumbos and not because their expenses went up from 100K all the way to 500K!  How?? They are increasing the goal amount to indicate the campaign did not reach the goal and needs more donations. That is disgusting blood money!

Stop donating before the campaign reaches the goal. A campaign with 100K goal reaching 75K donations is good enough.

Know when to stop, use commonsense and save your money. Don't be a dumbo!

Gp. Konni cases lo manam ekkuva alochinchodu man. Donate cheyyali anipisthey cheseyyali.

for ex: recent gfm for a family with both kids autism and father passed away . Its tough for the mother to manage everything with both kids having autism. I am sure lot of stress got accumulated for the poor man because of kids health. We cannot even imagine what the mother is going through

Yes. But why they keep raising the limit? 

Did they publish any financial details? What if their parents in India are ultra rich? What if he has 2 million insurance? 

Don't get emotional... There are millions who have more problems. I'm strictly talking about GFM exploits.... intentionally or unintentionally. Like social media , it is another plague which needs to be stopped.

There is no lack of dumbos who do not understand this basic thing (when target donation $ increases). One of the reason could be emotions. People connect emotionally to an incident and pay. May be guilt too. But these are setting up bad precedent.

Are you crazy? I didn't talk about anything in particular. 

Take this case - how did you arrive at that number? Do you know for sure that he doesn't have insurance ? I bet most likely he has sizeable insurance as that's the first thing doctors say - your kids need you, so make sure you have isurance etc... 

Do you know for sure their parents are not millionaires in india?
