Is it just me or are these "Go Fund Me" pages popping up everywhere now?

I'm all for donating to worthwhile causes but it seems a bit out of control.

Saw one today for surgery for a dog. I mean, if you have a dog, you need to be able to pay for medical expenses IMO.

These things are everywhere now.

Many are fake stories.

your stories.

"Ive been cyberbullied and need psychiatric help, send me $20"

"My girlfriend is a hoe, need funds to date a nice girl, send me $20"

I see them all around town. All of them have been black people. Many of them are young intellectuals trying to jumpstart their rap career. Others I've seen are some people asking for money for their "surgery" or "dream".

No doubt plenty of white liberal chumps will be opening their wallets and firing off donations.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOR-ONS!

Everfresh or whatever the name is you guys bang on needs to start one.

Hello I need $100,000 for mental help and anguish. I am constantly abused online by bulletin board bullies. I have contemplated committing suicide but figured I could survive with medical help.

Please fund my cause and keep me from being a online casualty.

What a stupid idea. I know it is cynical but most of these crybaby stories are you scammers. Brock Landers tried to do one so that tells you something right there. Why not stick to known charities for that stuff. This crap of sites that are worthless popping up every day is out of control. I hate the millenial generation. That generation is ruining everything. if you have a child, you have about 12 years to raise them anymore because of all the crap out there. Why does a 13 year old need a smart phone. Ok, rant over.

But these instagrams, twitter, facebook, pinterest, tumbr, and 50 other ones. They are all the same and people act like combined they are worth a trillion dollars. They all have the same users. High School kids. I talked to a 14 year old this morning who has a kid. Crazy. Means she had sex in what 7th grade. I once called 911 at a "party" if thats what you call it then to get out of kissing a girl in 6th grade. Haha. True story. Cops just called the house. These days I would get a $1,000 fine and probation. I was a late bloomer with the ladies.

Oh and 1 more thing, because of all of this social media crap, people will have "boyfriends" or "girlfriends" that they have never even actually met and likely will never meet.

I have known a few people who have used it for funeral help... but there are probably just as many on there that are scams and ruin it for everyone else

Is any of that stuff ever verified? I never heard of until it was posted at another place that Landers started one. Obviously, if it a funeral you could check the local obituary although still not really proof. I could just make up someone who died. If it is for a serious disease, that isn't verifiable, if it for your dog to get his legs back, not really verifiable. Some of those people get accounts in excess of 25K. There are so many stories out there, most prob. don't get much traction unless publically or regionally/ nationally covered.

I live close to a neighborhood where there was explosion and over 20 houses were demolished. Everyone around here knows about it except the 2 people who died, no one knows anyones names.
