Gofundme scammers #3

[Tangerine Dream]

These are the same people who probably live their lives on credit and try to look rich on social media.

It's amazing what people will fake.

They basically rent everything but get the gullible/inexperienced to believe they've "made it" and it's their real life.

There have been quite a few stories now about people with mansions and designer cars getting exposed as owning nothing and being not much better than outright scammers.

A shopkeeper here was bashed & died, a go fund me was immediately set up to ‘help the family’. After the man’s funeral the family stated that they did not agree to the go fund me & wanted nothing to do with it & asked for all donations to be returned to the donors, which it was. Turns out it was set up by a concerned member of the community that they didn’t know & had never heard of.

Something fishy about that. I've worked in a fraud team for a big retailer. If you can prove you've not committed the fraud, the debt is usually wiped from your name. Credit history cleared etc

She can’t prove it, if it’s the woman I’m thinking of (and I doubt there’s another one with the same scenario tbh) she said that the applications were done using her ID, email address etc on a device linked to her home wi-fi, and the money from over drafts was sent to several other accounts in her name. She “lost” her passport and didn’t think anything of it, even when she had multiple letters and emails from the companies about new accounts, including an iPhone order from very, she didn't connect the dots or at least wonder what was going on.

Something doesn’t add up.

Yeah that is really odd
