[QUOTE="Rowdie, post: 122726, member: 272"] When you are on the gofundme site it will or should tell you who your are giving money too and what it is used for. I haven't read any fine print to see what happens to people that are scamming the public. To my knowledge, there is [B]no[/B] or [B]not much[/B] [B]accountability[/B] for the money donated. Last Sept. I had a niece who died tragically. One of her friends set up a gofundme account and in just a few days raised $1500 for the family. A month later someone else did kind of the same thing, but kept the money and skipped town with it. My sister-in-law said they called the police, and they are investigating. So IDK, I would assume its like any other fund raiser, you are legally bound to the conditions you set up in order to get people to donate. What little I looked on there, people were basically begging for gas and food money to come protest. Most kept it at a reasonable number to get some easy cash. How would anyone know if they ever went to the camp. Or if they did, how long do you have to stay to justify the money. I said earlier in this thread I should start one up for a Sno-Bear. I would use it to haul supplies through the snow, and could use it to fish for food for the camp. Hell, If I was serious, and raised enough, I would even have to give them a few of my fish. I'd keep all the shit fish and give them ling, cats, and whatever else. Not sure what happens if you raise 20K but need 40K, they may not release the money IDK. [/QUOTE]
