On this note. There was recently a woman that claims she was lost in the high sierras and her story started falling apart pretty quickly. Gofundme scams are everywhere.
In my view it is just another part of the democratization of exploiting the dumb masses. It used to be that only governments and NGOs/Non-profits could pull this stuff off. Now you too can do it! Its so easy.
It's unfortunate because people who actually need crowdfunding will be screwed when no one takes these campaigns seriously anymore.
My wife's friend from her high school days did a gofundme for cancer treatments and it really helped. Raised about 40k.
Old friends from high school and college were all pitching in.
