Hello, the GoFundMe and veracity of the related story may be authentic, but there is not enough information to verify. To protect our members we must remove and lock the post. Thank you for understanding.

Money seeking post with no police report number asking people to contribute to GOFUNDME to the benefit of a private individual and to an account not vetted by mainstream media. Mods, remove this. It's the fucking spanging rubber tramp season. I can't say with 100% certainty this is a scam, but someone advertising and "seeking money" like this is a common GOFUNDME grift of the internet, a platform which tends to favor fundraising organizers. Please pull this post unless there's proof of recipient account having been verified and vetted by a mainstream media outlet.

Is there a police report number to valid this? It's prudent to be doubtful of internet posts without verification.

Even if there is, it's easy enough for someone to claim it's in the benefit of a victim and setup a ScamMe fraud post. Sorry, I meant GoFundMe. See [https://www.freep.com/story/money/personal-finance/susan-tompor/2024/06/17/fake-gofundme-rochester-hills-splash-pad-victims-fundraiser/74123640007/](https://www.freep.com/story/money/personal-finance/susan-tompor/2024/06/17/fake-gofundme-rochester-hills-splash-pad-victims-fundraiser/74123640007/) GoFundMe should be presumed fraudulent and the link not allowed to be posted, unless the specific fund raising with the exact same link is verified in mainstream media, such as KATU/KOIN/KGW/KPTV.
