Gofundme scammers #2

[FingerMouse]

Ugh, I’m so glad I’ve found this thread. Amy’s latest GFM post is the lowest of low. What that family have had to endure is just beyond terrible - no-one deserves to lose a child, especially in the slow drawn out way that they have, but they have no fucking right to ask for that money. Thousands of families up and down the country lose children in a multitude of awful ways, it’s sad beyond belief, tragic and senseless, but why should Amy and her family have the right to these funds to ‘heal and help’ when others struggle? It’s just gross and fucked up. I can not imagine going what they’ve gone through and literally before their son is cold having the balls to broadcast a grift for money. Show’s the heart of who someone truly is, huh?

So thought that this was joke or her boyfriend must have an illness or something. Nope just a lazy person wanting £2000 towards a free holiday.

Won't be long before she needs her own thread entirely. I have no words for this woman. Too little too late with the playground. We see you.
RIP darling boy Dilly, life is cruel.

Hasn’t even been a day. I think when she can no longer exploit dilly's cancer she’ll move on to Aiyla’s autism

She also can’t just get a space through a follower as would legally have to be through consultation process to have a specialist provision named on her echp, which would have to be agreed at board level within the sen team. She’s unbelievable, there are thousands of children sat at home without specialist provision and she’s happy to jump waiting lists through a random contact?! There is no end to this, is there?!

I’m really sorry but why is it anyone else’s issue. It’s heartbreaking that children are dying of such a horrible disease
But that doesn’t mean it’s everyone else’s responsibility to pay their rent or buy them a holiday. It just makes no sense to how these people find a correlation in the 2

Over 4 grand raised in just 10 minutes.

that’s almost 3 months salary for me

I thought it was odd that the website has so much content on it given they've only just established the company...a quick Google shows all of the blog posts and client reviews are just nicked from other websites

Can’t get over the ‘struggling to pay bills and rent’!!
Well join the real world love, aren’t most of us struggling to do that?

Yep..my credit card is bordering on the same as the national debt! That’s just from paying my bills and buying food. Can’t see a way out at the minute. But hey.. Amy needs a holiday ffs. I haven’t had a holiday for 7 years!!!

 

[MNM]

Also their from a mega rich circle of friends. I’ve never understood the need for the go fund me, asking people effected by the cost of living/on minimum wage etc for money when Amys best friend is Nadine Merabi, a multi millionaire with a growing business, just opened a new store in New York.

 

[Gingercream]

I see Oz hasn't shared the GFM page at all

I think he is embarrassed by it, as sharing that would admit that whatever trading business he has (which looks very much like a MLM scam from the instagram links) isn’t as lucrative as he’s trying to make out on instagram.

I’m sure he is devastated by Dillan’s death but he seems very image conscious from everything he shares online.

 

[Tofino]

It was mentioned in Amy’s post that they would like to take sometime away and make up for lost time with the girls and Oz have some time off from work & still be able to pay the bills etc, she hasn’t been fraudulent she has stated clearly what the money would be used for.

Like I said if people cannot afford to donate or don’t agree with what the donations are for then simply don’t donate. I have donated a number of times and I am content in helping a grieving family whatever way they wish to spend the money that I chose to send them

They’ve had over £800,000 donated to them across multiple fundraising pages (all now deleted apart from the latest one) and still keep asking for more money. How certain can you be the money is going where they say it’s going? Bearing in mind the different reasons she's given for what the fundraising is for. Do you know them or are they strangers to you?

And just because you yourself don’t care what they spend your donated money on, it still wouldn’t make it right if they are misleading people and misusing the funds.

 

[Queeniebee]

Can't believe she put they will be having a small and quiet funeral yet the week before beginning for donations for his funeral! A small funeral will cost no more than £5k if that and surely she doesn't need £60k for bills! I'm sorry but people like her need investigating!

 

[Mancnet]

I think it's all of Dillons favourite food.

I just keep thinking she must be very lost. Dillon's illness has monopolised her life for the last 4 years.

Regardless of how distasteful and unnecessary the GFM is I do hope they survive this as a family and take comfort in knowing they did all they could for him.

 

[MrsBsDayOff]

Everyone deals with things differently and hopefully known of you have to deal with losing a child to know exactly how you would be in that moment

I've never lost a child and it must be the worst thing in the world. However I'm fairly certain no matter how much I was grieving, my first thought would never be to beg for money.

 

[busylass]

When will this stop? We’re grieving so not ready to return to work so carry on paying our wages. Need another holiday so please pay for it. I need a new car but we’re broke because we’ve spent all our money on Dillan. Its outrageous!

 

[Crazymum]

It’s a pure vanity project for them at this point, they need to get back to work like everyone else who has been in their situation.

 

[Bb12]

I’m horrified
They have already had so much money

My family member was back at work day after child’s funeral

 

[Tofino]

Can you report go fund me's? If they live such a lavish lifestyle could this not be counted as a valid scam?
It seems harsh given the circumstances but it just seems so wrong that they're using their dead child to take money from people worse off than them.

Not for this reason.
Even if someone fundraised for one thing then spent it on something else, there seems to be no consequences. I honestly don’t know why it’s not considered fraud. There must be a disclaimer that means if you donate money then the recipient can use it for what they want. This is why I really hate GFM.

 

[Wellthisisinteresting]

The GFM wouldn't be a issue if it was to donate to the the hospitals where dilly was being treated or a cancer charity but the fact she's stated (although she's truthfully said what for) it's for his funeral, holiday and to pay rent/bills just doesn't sit right!

Totally and less than 24 hours after he passed away, it had clearly been written out before he died!
The amounts they have asked for are people’s yearly salaries but for them that’s a few months rent and holiday, absolute madness!
Why aren’t their millionaire friends donating rather than the public for the third time.
