Sincerely, I would like to express my gratitude and respect to this outstanding cryptocurrency recovery specialist. I am among the fortunate people on the internet who were duped but were able to retrieve my assets from a stolen cryptocurrency investment thanks to technology. Few people are fortunate enough to retrieve all they have lost to fraudsters, but thanks to
Richmond, I can be sure that I won't fall prey to bitcoin Ponzi fraud for the rest of my life. I'm incredibly grateful for everything, and if you ever become a victim of an internet scam, I strongly advise you to get in touch with them at the contact details provided above.

Selena the cat with cancer is legitimate. They said it was under review and is now good to go. That was two weeks ago. They said they investigate everything. Someone who made it to the animal category is on there just because they said they lost their puppy. How did they investigate that, and why do they need money? There's no expenses in that, yet they made thousands just because they are allowed to be seen. I am blocked so Selena has to suffer just because gofundme is predudice!

GoFundMe has liquidated all my open positions without reason. I have filed a complaint with them.
They confirmed that the liquidation was handled incorrectly and offered me compensation of only 1.6% of my losses. Stay away from this broker! I was lucky enough to get my money back with the help of GAARD.IO I got my refund with their help

Valid Court Order
October 21, 2024

These clowns will not release funds from a valid court order against the person asking for donations. This company is enabling fraud.

The worst investing platform I've ever experienced. Only possible to email their support department, and keep getting the same generic template replies a week after sending the email that don't answer any questions or fix the problems i have. Just a simple contact www.RegainOrg.Info on Google and all was resolved

Set up a GDM page for a literally starving family (long term friends) living in Gaza, now refugees housed temporarily in Rafah. GFM immediately put the page 'under review', meaning people can still contribute but no money will be transferred to the needy. Long list of open-ended questions via email. I answer immediately then get no response. Still waiting after 3 days. A site that pertains to help, but does not actually help starving people (bc they are brown, imho) is worse than useless.

They support fascists
February 22, 2024

They'll make the exception to their own rules and guidelines for fascists that need restitution money. Hypocrisy is not a good look. FAFO.

Beware SCAM
February 5, 2024

We set up a GoFundMe for a friend in distress and raised over $6000. Go fund me didn't allow for the funds to be transferred to my friend. They have no customer service phone number, no agents on chat and no responsive email address. I submitted numerous tickets and this issue never got resolved. Beware.

Does not work...
January 25, 2024

In 2018-2019 my mother had passed in Michigan.
When I tried to raise the money for her funeral through the go fund me page. The end result was I lost out on trying to bury my mother. Now all states. State that if you do not claim the deceased in time the people let the bodies up and cremate them together in a big pile of ash and that's it. By the way her name was Monica Renee McClanahan.

Just found out that my mum and I got scammed and i'm pretty pissed off about it. Like there's some real people out there who need help so scams don't sit well with me. Basically, I found out about Ian Rafalko because I happened to know a close friend of his. He was the one who told me about Ian's situation and being the kind of guy i am i thought i'd help out a bit by sending the link out. But what a bunch of BS this was. Turns out, according to his friend, Ian hasn't spent any of that $7000 on any mental health treatments which is what he was asking for on this gofundme.

Like where did my money go? Random stuff? I started to wonder after there was no updates or any real proof. No mention on his streams either. I guess Im the idiot for donating without looking into it more first? Also we reported it to GoFundMe... like how do ppl get away with this kinda thing? Wish I had read about this first.

We made a donation and gofundme took fifteen percent for their own pocket without my authorization.
Seems like a scam to me. Sorry for those who need help,but I will never give another dollar to them.
RIPPED OFF It was an anonymous gift so we won't add picture.

I organized a fundraiser through GoFundMe, their team paused my account transfers to review my account as my NGO which is based in the US is helping veterinarians who take care of stray dogs in Albania. It has been two weeks and their team has only responded twice (42 emails later from me) asking for info and promising to give this matter their full attention which has been nothing but lies. I still can't access my donations which my family and friends have kindly contributed towards and their team is back to being non responsive. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE, I WANT MY DONATIONS. GoFundMe is the worst.

Worked hard on site, campaign underway, site disappeared without explanation.

That diligent team responding to technical and other issues?

There is no reason to believe there is a team except bots.
