Sad! This is what the world is becoming? Scams🤧😡😡😡
I remember this! 😡 What is wrong with people nowadays? Always trying to get over?!?!
Terrible. Jail them
So was the guy actually homeless?
soledadobrien not breaking
News FLASH! SCAMMERS EVERYWHERE! ALWAYS PROCEED With CAUTION!!
Americans!!
avery_patsfan Despicable. And Oscar winning performances.
Ok now what?
Believe it or not, this is exactly how our president got his start some years ago.
People suck.
They were in cahoots all this long!
Go Fund Me makes enough that they could do something to ensure they are not running a platform for fraud.
Graduates of Trump University. Majored in the Art of the Steal.
A$$holes
MENACE TO HELL WITH THEM
I remember being so touched by this story. I always do my research before fixing to any GoFundMe initiative. So sad.
Go F***me. We saw that coming. They learned it from Kate plus eight.
really the should be taken to the war zone to do community work!
Talk about fucked up! I had camera equipment stolen and I couldn't bring myself to creating a gofundme for something that legitimately happened to me.
Whatttttttt?!
Thank you and throw the book at them. Just because you are naive enough to send $ to a non substantiated go-fund-me site doesn't mean criminals should benefit.
Scumbags
Heard about that scam! They may have tried to help a homeless person, but went crazy with GO FUND ME! Lots of money given! Another con came so they must be arrested! What an awful thing to do, selfish too! People work hard for their paychecks, so I am sure some charge!! Terrible
Is this their life? 😂😂
KTLA This horrible action is what ruins it for everyone.
WOW 😲 that’s just great ! Bunch of idiots.
All three of them need jail time as many homeless need help for real I have serviced this community for 16 years and things like this make it hard to get assistance
To many people in this country are to lazy to get and education, or learn a work ethic. The internet is full of crooks just waiting to steal your money or phone crooks calling to do the same. To many businesses with BBB that are out to do the same and your politicians.
I wonder if any one of them had been Black, whether they would have received that amount of $$$
soledadobrien SHAME it turned out to be a 'SHAM' / 'SCAM'. It could have been a real 'HEART-WARMING' CONTRIBUTION STORY. But, since it turned out to be a 'SHAM', it is a 'SAD' and reason why become very 'SUSPICIOUS'. NO LONGER 'TRUSTING'
soledadobrien This is grotesque
This is what happens when social media is your reality.
I knew it!
Trash.
Lock em up!
TheLastRefuge2 Would love to know the political demographics of those that fell for this.
This is the very reason some many good people will not step forward and he’ll because the feel everyone’s working a scam. The ones this hurts the most are those in the most real need. May justice fall heavy upon these people.
Would they have gotten away w it if the homeless guy hadn’t sued and claimed they ripped him off?
Lisa61814752 Is Dr. Ford next to be BUSTED?
I hope they hit all 3 hard for their combined actions and disgusting fraud! Greed is a nasty thing!
TheLastRefuge2 Sounds like New Jersey! What’s new, corruption is who they are! Didn’t the State of New Jersey just re-elect the most corrupt Senator Bob Menendez. Nothing new hear!
Just another reason sites like this should be shut down. I’d wish they’d arrest the people who gave them money too for being just plain dumb. It’s no wonder why this country is in the mess we are. Too many people mistake the difference between helping people out and donating.
JoshMankiewicz Always Sunny script alwayssunny
TheLastRefuge2 The Clintons should recruit them.
THIS is exactly why there is no trust within society. It is nothing new but instead of society changing for the better, we get the same old song and dance of people wanting to scam others. Pitiful and sad.
This story has been a very unexpected roller coaster.
👎👎👎👎👎
Worst part of social media: easy way to spread Bullshit to others and make money off of it!
I hope he’s careful these Californians are like the used to be, these people are nuts
There’s a special place in hell for assholes like this
Don’t give money to online fundraising. Give money to actual charitable organizations. Or people you know. Personally.
🤦🏾♀️
Has morality taken a permanent vacation?
So sad.
Honestly not surprised
So when it’s Trump’s nap nap time, you guys pull an old story and continue dragging it? We know this story. It’s old. You either come back with a prison sentence and a 2 million fine or just don’t report.
TheLastRefuge2 Easy money turns into corrupt money.
These 2 people are doing exactly what the biggest charitable non-profits in the United States do everyday. They should have come up with a name and filed for non profit tax status. They probably would have gotten away with it.
Throw away the key
TheLastRefuge2 that's why I don't do go fund me
Liberals scammers
Sounds like a Wild Things plot twist
That one guy made a good point homeless guy with 20 bucks
I never give money to the poor except through the Salvation Army, United Way, etc. I will buy food anyone who claims to be hungry.
TheLastRefuge2 That’s not breaking news
*sigh* And we wonder why nobody trusts anyone. This is truly pathetic. 🤨
This is why I don't give to random GoFundMe accounts.
Fake news
This is why people won’t even try to help those in need, you just can’t tell anymore. 😪 Scumbags!
ShawnaLeneeShow Give them a marketing job. They know the score.
If I do a go fund me I’m gonna be totally honest I’m just broke. Lol Seriously though, shame on all of them!
i hate to sound callous, but to all the donors: $400k is ridic. Use common sense. I understand the compassion. Raise a bit to help him back on his feet, ie. a car & apartment. $5-$10k maybe $20k BUT $400K are you fing kidding me? could help 40 needy people w/$10k each for that
And now,back to the original
Some people just have no shame whatsoever these days
Ironic and moronic that they cooked up a scheme based on their greed, and it all unraveled due to their greed. They coulda gotten away with it 🤑 glad they didn’t.
It’s not fun when you get scammed it happens a lot on here and it happens to me .People will do everything just to get a buck even use celebrities names. There are homeless people that live better then me . I pay taxes and so does my children ,these people are all thieves.
zachpickett96
LarryFisher_KDC
That is sad. There are people out there that truly need help and these idiots lied.
This calls for jail time. 👿
Ha... good for them... it was a great story...
BrodyismeFriend Brilliant
Trictsters
And there you go another group of greedy people that totally lack humanity and humility..
People suck... So much for wanting to help others thinking they are in need for real. Next time, have proof before you provide help.
KTLA We knew this when the story came out.
charlesadler Dems at work
The joke was he was 'homeless' and had spare 20.00 GTFO!!
soledadobrien I can’t get a single dime for my honest gofundme campaign.
👏👏👏
This is why I have never and will never give to go fund me
Knew something was wrong with the story. $20 from a homeless man to buy gas? $2 gas would've taken her to the gas station she was walking to and get a refill. Was she not going to use money when she walked to the station? Why not repay him then rather than 'I swear I'll be back'.
PardonMyTake
Is that Jared, Ivanka, and Bannon?
Homeless are lazy mofo. I never give them a dime.
AntiTrumpReport So the prosecutor's entire indictment is predicated around the people knowing one another for a month? I know many of the homeless in my neighborhood. Sounds like someone is looking to make a name for himself by criminalizing helping the homeless. What a dick.
Sad. I really thought it was true. WhyINeverDonateToGofundme.
What’s the saying, a fool and his money are soon parted?
Hope not. Unethical if so.
What the hell is wrong with people . This is why the world is so cynical and angry , good people getting cheated . This is so wrong
People can be such scum, I swear.......
AntiTrumpReport I call bullshit. Most of the homeless people I know would give their last $20 to help a young couple with car trouble. Selfless generosity and communal behavior are part of street & road culture. I don't buy the prosecutor's allegations that the original event was fabricated.
😂😂😂😂 What a bunch of bums
davidpsdem They are all white, just saying.
This is why I'm so suspicious of donating on Gofundme
And this is somehow different than big business tactics how? I’m all for social and corporate responsibility. But we act like ruthless dilettantes about a charity case and then gloss over the bigger stories of corporations feeding off of and abusing the middle class.... 🤦🏼♂️
Horrible, They should refund the $$$ but doubt much if it left
Just another reason not to trust any sort of crowdfunding site that's not accountable to some public auditing.
Wow
They would have gotten away with it and no one would have bothered investigating if they just gave the homeless guy his fair share of the money. Greedy is an understatement
soledadobrien simisara980 Worst folks . CKNW Niki_Reitmayer
Good try
Shocked?
Where's the money buried?
If only ppl were willing to use 400k to help homeless ppl as a whole. Instead, they opted to get conned to donate to a scammed under the guise of helping a white woman.
Lmao 😂
People suck
BEEKS_511 Breaking news? Again? This story is from like two years ago. WTH?
soledadobrien
BEEKS_511 Bet this happens a lot. Bad for those who really need it.
PilledDem And they screw it all up for someone in real need, when does crime like this comes to an end.
Another Band of Thieves undone by greed. Hope GoFundMe is able to recover/return some of the money.
Peak jersey. Ugh.
soledadobrien Oh really!
OMG the real welfare queens
These fools definitely need a year or two in jail while the authorities try to return as much of the money as possible to the donors.
ShameTheDevil! 👿😡🍴
Wow!
Important lesson to learn here. SUCKERS!!!!
Disgusting people.
Really cruel. Despicable.
Their kind of underhanded misdeeds occur somewhere almost every day. This one just happened to make the headlines.
I hope whatever money that can be recovered from this scam, will be given to local charities. Then at least all the kind open-hearted givers' intentions will still be honored.
Their own greedcaused the scam to fall apart. Everybody wanted more than the other. Hahahaha
Potential members of Trump's Cabinet?
Oh....damn....😮😧😲
How Sad!!
Stop giving random people you’ll never meet your hard earned money. You want to help someone give food to your local food bank if everyone helps out in their own community you’ll be helping a neighbor you may not know needs help
These assholes didn’t just steal that money from the donations, they potentially cost people who legit need this. People will think twice before donating to someone who does need it and may decide against it.
soledadobrien All three belong in jail.
Interesting. Nothing in ur story substantiates ur headline Saying the homeless man was charged in charitable scam is not just spin, its deceptive, when ur article says he was arrested on a probation detainer. Is this a smear campaign to relieve GoFundMe from pymnt? FactsMatter
Humanity has by and large been a colossal failure
The depravity of man knows no limits. Shameless people
soledadobrien People like this ruin it for others that really do need legitimate help.
And then apparently 'there's no honor among thieves' kicked in and they started infighting over the money, which seems to have led to the scheme being exposed.
soledadobrien white folks have to damn shame these days.
soledadobrien Scumbags!!!😡😡
Good! Good! This is FORCING people to be more aware and vigilant when helping. My good charity has often been taken advantage of but I don't let it ruin me efforts of good will. Those who scam others willingly will get their just due, in this life time or the next.
These people are despicable!
Damn. Just f’d it up for people who really need it.
I am just blown away by this story
Dirt bags
LaurieJBarnes I’m so sick of hearing about this story.
Lock em up
Are they going to be charged with fraud and have to give everyone who donated their money back?
Evil people
A sucker and his/her money are easily separated.
And unfortunately, news stations helped them with the scam by promoting the gofundme page to millions of their viewers. How about not posting links to gofundme pages unless you have thoroughly investigated the people behind them and their story.
This needs to be a movie!
Well now they all will have a roof over their heads and three square meals a day.
This is just too crazy
Throw all three of them in jail for a year!
Call it alternative community theatre and let it go.
KTLA I hope they all get fucked in court. I will never donate to GoFundMe because of this
I don't do GoFundMe anymore. Scammed 1x and that's enough
The evolution of the fake homeless person driving a BMW or w\\e. Unfortunately there will always be scammers. Give your money to organizations on the ground actually helping people... lessonlearned
So, they were all going to get away with it until the couple got greedy?
Good day to be a cynic.
aaronellis01 CAN WE NOT HAVE ONE NEWS STORY WHERE SOMEONE SOMEHOW DOESNT BRING POLITICS INTO IT!!!! 🤦🏽♀️ cantreadshitanymore
What awful dirtbags
charlesadler E for effort though
This is why I hate people
This is why we can't have nice feelings. So many people who want to help others heal & so many who would truly turn their lives around with just a little care from each of us & that of course helps others ... but then we have these a$$h*les that make it harder for all of us ffs
Scum
They can all have a new home on the same cell block.
Creeps.
Classic Jersey.
Did the media vet the story?
Yet when corporations conspire to force feed us their products for billions in profit that’s all good. Capitalism is the biggest scam of all and these people are a product of it
Never give to Gofundmes for strangers.
Awful people. I hope they get jail time
The story going around is that they were all in on the hoax, and the couple got greedy, the 'homeless' guy complained that he didn't get his fair share of the scam.
Shadyym degenerates!!
There went the last bit of faith I had left in humanity...
Man, y’all got plunked.
Did the Democrats inspire them? DrFraud
BrEpicBreen imagine being trash like these people are
spaceotter1971 That is detestable.
thegarance When you hear that old newsroom saw, 'Some stories are just too good to check.' Think about this one...
...and they would have gotten away with it to if it wasn’t for you kids and that dog!
HOW UNFORTUNATE... This story was truly believable, & yet, it was all a scammed. I had some1 DIRECT MESSAGE me with full instructions where I should send the 💰. WASN'T GOING 2 FALL IN THAT TRAP.
Stripes will look good on all of you!
I felt this might be a scam when I first heard it then was ashamed of myself for being so cynical. But no WAY someone homeless is giving away their last ten dollars unless there's a gun pointed at their head. And maybe not even then.
Wow jerks
please fund my new kickstarter campaign to investigate kickstarter fraud
Is that girl that claimed to have sex with ghosts, or just a look alike? 🙃
Karma karma
It’s the temperature of our country right now. Con everyone.
What total garbage
Trust in humanity...
Sick
Oh if it’s on the internet it must be true. That’s not a statement of truth but of warning. I question most of the “go fund me “ stories. How many others are there that just weren’t exposed as hoaxes? If you want to help someone give to a reputable charity.
Oh my!
How long until this turns into a law and order episode?
Scum
Well la-di-da......
Bunch of low life RATS
this is the most new jersey shit
All people from new jersey are like this
the trump effect
grifters!
--- But What About The Tax-Free Jesus Scam --- How Is Religion Any Different ? -- Roughly 749,000 Days And Still Counting --- Jesus Is Still A No-Show ---
Pathetic.
KTLA thugs.
Like our president.
I swear something about the story didn’t sit right with me the first time I heard about it. It was — I don’t know — too tidy or something.
So let me get this right! They all made up the story and then two of them try to steal from the fake homeless guy? 🤣😂
Another beauty delivered to Americans by THE FAKE NEWS industry. This is yet another reason why we can't trust anything we see on TV anymore.
What a tricky sentencing. If you lock them all up, the homeless guy is upgrading. Why should he benefit from committing a crime? Lock the couple up, leave the homeless guy homeless, but also take a kidney. Yeah. I like that.
Terrible
I gave only to one where the person's story was actually documented by the police, two court cases, and appeared in local news stories b/c what happened to him was so reprehensible. Please be diligent about giving if something seems too good to be true.
I still believe in helping thru gogundme's by choice rather than gov by force because I believe we are generous as a people. These crooks will go to jail and the money returned, so don't let this stop you from helping others.
ChampionMtager She'll be hired by the Clinton Foundation for sure! They know fake, just ask the Haitian people who got ripped off 13 million dollars by them!
Are they Democrats?
Now nobody will be giving to gofundme and those that really need it won’t be helped.
Wow way to screw it up for the people who donated
Why no charges against the man who with his family scammed people over last 50 years❓scams were labeled as 'Charitable', 'educational', 'Business' enterprises. His latest scam was running for President under false pretenses,then using presidency to enrich himself. FakePresident
Major plot twist
Yo, you three...
Wow this keeps getting better and better
This is still going on? WOW
if salvation army takes in less money this year, give these 3 shitheads the credit.
RyanSchulteis Is this..... Don’t say it Don’t say it Don’t say it Don’t say it Don’t say it Don’t say it Don’t say it Don’t say it FAKE NEWS?
Sounds about white.
Did not see that twist coming.
Who is prosecuting them? Banks do scams all the time with peoples money but they don't get into trouble and that is for billions of dollars. How is this a thing?
People!
It worked. Anyone need 20$for gas?
Gofundme needs to reimburse everybody who donated
Tip of the iceberg with GoFundMe
Am I out of line saying that all three should be executed? Maybe that's a bit harsh.
This ranks as the worst goFundme scam since MSNBC promoted donating to Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok
She need a pen pal?
I knew this was a scam from the get-go.
Stupid people do stupid stuff! 🤦🏼♀️
QUIT STEALING MY MOVES, PEOPLE
She's pretty. Let it go.
There’s a lot of that going around.
F them all
Is he even homeless?
uh- the guys a veteran, a marine..what a stain on our govt and courts. BLAME THE VICTIM- out his entire life and millions!!
DanDugan14 Something didn't sound right about this from the start. But I believed anyway they were doing a good thing for this man. F*ck me, right?
And more trash people
So the three dummies could've gotten away with it if they didn't turn on each other. Now, they'll be fighting over Nutty Bars and Hot Pockets. Fitting.
People just suck.
Congratulations to these bozos for becoming the newest scum of the earth.
This disgusts me
Some pancakes are worth prison. (silently shakes head)
I will never give money to this website again. My trust in people has hit a new low.
gofuckme
YourKickstarter BronzeHammer dogboner you guys see the news?
Lock them up..dirty rotten scammers. Shameful
What a shame.
1 year old....
Straight shady asf,make the people that really need it be questioned because people do this. 👊👊👊
