  Started a GoFundMe for a friend who lost her husband. Tried to transfer the funds to her but all they want is her bday and social security number. She just lost her husband and doesn't need to deal with scammers. All they should be asking is where they should transfer the money to.

  I started a gofundme for my mother's cousin who has cancer and needs the money for her chemo's. I verified all the information on the account and everything is correct. I keep getting messages after messages saying I still need to confirm the information I do almost every single day. I had ***** dollars raised for her chemo from strangers and they are on hold just because they could not verify what connections they had towards me. I thought it was for anyone and everyone to share the links and donate how much they want. It is unbelievable because anyone should be able to share with anyone who has a heart and this is so unfair and this company is so unreliable they should be able to answer and fix the problems fast. If the person who needs this money for her chemo ends up dying I am 100% going to blame them because this is supposed to be a charity that helps not limit and take away. I need this fixed immediately and I need the money for her to be well.

  A friend of mine started a gofundme fundraiser for the sudden passing of my son. I ok'd with her and given her the permission to do so. I filled in all the information needed verified and checked!Once done I shared it on fb and someone had reported this as a scam or fake! Does it take one miserable and bitter person to report a fundraiser as fake and you take thier word for it?As it was going I could of met the goal set by my friend. I requested to have it reinstated and it was approved, but it still kept showing as deleted. By this time we already said good bye to my son and if it were to be reinstated, then it would be to late.I'm disappointed with gofundme on how they handled this and myself being a first time user to this I believe the goal would of easily been met if they would of looked into this more and not take someone's word for it and cancel the fundraiser. This was a horrible experience by gofundme to do this.

  Hello, on February 4, 2023 I set up an account on GoFundMe to help my sister who is fighting lung cancer stage 4. The only thing we need is money to cover the cost of a nurse at home. Our goal was $3,000 dollars The other expenses are covered by the insurance. Well, everything went well at the begining, actually I was able to withdraw most of the money collected in a week from friends and family and a couple of people that I don't know. Well, a week after, GoFundMe decided to put my account on hold, making imposible to make donations. GFM sent me emails asking for the "nature or my donors" asking about some people names who made donation and if I know them, requesting screenshot about my sharing on social media. What kind of questions are those!!?? Obviously fundraiser will get money from knowing people!! That is the point of a Fundraiser.And now I'm waiting and they haven't resolve anything. My sister is dying and we just need a little money to give her some well care. This company has not empathy. **************** is BS, and sorry about my language, but beside the pain I feel about my sister condition, I have to deal with this awful company.

  My husband's brother died recently. A go fund me account was set up to help pay for his funeral expenses. My husband contributed to the fund.Only to find out that account was bogus,some opportunist was able to get the money and close the account by the time my husband found out.He contacted the fraud department at his bank and he also contacted go fund me.We recieved a response today from go fund me stating that they have closed the case and no refund will be issued. This is unacceptable, not only is he grieving the loss of his brother he has to fight to get the money back that was never recieved by the intended recipient.I will NEVER recccommend go fund me to anyone.I find it odd that this organization does not have a customer phone number to speak to anyone.

  I tried to start a gofundme fundraiser for myself due to severe cyber bullying from identity theft and being violated. Ive been in constant turmoil due to harassment from random strangers and people that I know which has hurt my reputation and effected me financially(its public true information). I thought I could depend on gofundme to help get donations to get me back on my feet but it seems as though they dont even live up to what they supposedly stand for? Which is helping people in need like myself. Thats unbelievable. I dont recommend them at all. Its not official or a professional site.

  I recently opened an account/story on the GoFundMe website for a person that is in need.I wanted to help raise money for them. It was recommended that I be the first to place a pledge. I funded $100, however, GFM took $115 from my account. I had read that it only costs 0. 2% + .30cents, which was ok. However, to fund $100, has costs my account $18.20.I am filing a complaint, with hopes that the BBB can get a refund for me, for the full amount.I plan to close the story that I created on the website.

  I thought this was a legit company. I opened a Gofundme me because I have become very Ill and would like to go home if I am about to die to be with my family. Friends supported me and donated. I now need the funds to pay for the moving company. I received emails from Gofundme to start transferring to my bank so I started the process with no response. I have tried multiples times with no resolve. Now it is becoming to late. Time is of the essence I need to make payments. They will not respond and with no live person and no phone number. Im stuck and it seems they are holding my money for themselves.
