9 Comments on Report: GoFundMe Caught Creating Over a Million NGO Pages

  1. I have rarely given on GFM, only because it was a cause for a dear friend. What I despise most they mentioned in the report – they ask for about 15% ‘tip’, for doing barely anything. They are already charging the credit card fee to the recipient, so this ‘tip’ goes to them 100%.
    There is a reason why they are a privately-held company – they don’t want people knowing how much they are profiting off of people just trying to help out their friends and charities.

  2. Doesn’t this remind you of what Bank of American and Wells Fargo did by signing up customers for various financial services and credit card insurance without the customer’s knowledge… and charging them service fees? People Stink these days.

  3. I wonder whether Ms Lamp’s comp package is tied to the number of NGO pages and the amount collected.

    I would imagine there are trademark and copyright issues here. And there is a matter of fraud.

    I smell a rat lurking in the sheer numbers of pages set up and the dollars involved.
