@DeeSinnns It’s not on OF. As a society we post way more than we need to on our social media(s). I made the mistake of donating before I looked into exactly whom and most likely what the money was going to which is unfortunate because the next person probably will honestly need it but ….
@DeeSinnns I was one of the people who donated when you posted the link because on the surface you go oh my god the poor little girl. Then you see mom taking selfies and documenting cheating on her husband by picking some guy up at the airport from across the globe and it’s a scummy view
@DeeSinnns Very fair points about the pain and grief. And you are right unless we have gone thru it we don’t know what it is like. But the optics of please support my daughter because she’s not going to be able to bury my granddaughter to suddenly being in Europe are not good.
@DeeSinnns@RichardBur37953 You seem very level headed so I think even you will agree people who don’t have 2 nickels to rub together as the go fund me narration / sob story tells don’t go to Europe - regardless of who is paying. Someone is willing to drop that kind of cash a classy person says no thanks
@DeeSinnns@RichardBur37953 Can confirm Dee is NOT a fraud or a thief. Now her friend who had a go fund me page supposedly for funeral expenses only to end up in Europe a month later on vacation - well that might be a different story.
@DeviousMissH No. You’re not living off strictly scamming, but I was just making an example of how easily it is have ripping off people start to add up. There’s a handful of quite popular providers in the GTA where I am that mix scamming in with actual SW.
@DeviousMissH Absolutely there are “better” ways to steal money and more of it. But if you’re a lazy person …. You steal 2 deposits a day 5 days a week and and that’s $25k a year for what is probably a grand total of 2-3 hours of “work” a week.
@DeviousMissH There is a real problem in the industry right now with so many scammers taking deposits and not providing service(s). Not sure what the solution is but it isn’t going away any time soon.
@AnneAlexaXo @savxoox I hate when any of my working friends have their time wasted but unfortunately there is a huge problem in the industry with fakes / scammers charging a deposit & then merely stealing the deposit without providing any service. I’m not sure what the answer is but this is the issue.
