GoFundMe Reviews

GoFundMe will seize the funds from causes that they don't agree with. Find another option.

Lacking morals

In short, use another platform, there are so many other options.
GoFundMe:
- refuses to fund movements or therapies they don't agree with
- allows themselves to be bullied into immoral actions
- is not providing the services they advertise

Liberal Thieves

If they don't agree with your cause you don't get your money. There are plenty of alternatives out there

Scam Artist THIEVES

Use ANY other way to send or receive funds. GOFUNDME is a scam. They steal people's money. If I could give zero stars I would! CRIMINALS!

Terrible company

They stole all the donations for Convoy 2022

Theft

Zero stars. This company just stole 10 million dollars of low income-middle class families money. Every other time there is an issue and a fundraiser gets shut down, the donors are given back their money but gofundme is now KEEPING this money. They are literally STEALING 10 million dollars.

Connive with liberals to steal from truckers

You should be extremely ashamed of your whole deceitful company.
Just realize and accept the fact that this will not benefit you.

You will never get your money deposited in your account!

NO matter how much you provide and how much or lil you raise the withdrawal to your account will not happen. Providing all the bills, lease, business reg, bank info and certifications yet still they want to phish people govt ID and even or those who gave them DL, passport and all still they are awaiting money over 2 yrs.

AND, they expect us to provide government ID which in Canada it is illegal, it's even written on the ID and passport: NOT to be used as ID, property of Canadian government. The privacy act is clear on that, and keeping the money hostage in return for govt ID is a federal offence here,yet they still do business here and impose these rules. I have reported them to RCMP fraud dept. They know about them, not the first person to be scammed by them.

They keep replying that it's their terms, who cares, if the terms are illegal doesn't make them ok!

People with positive experience are 3yrs and before, looks like mostly all negative after that. Don't try to email back and forth to explain you will not win any argument even if they know you are right. AVOID AT ALL COST! It's quite disturbing using people in need urgently and scam them like this.. I read that they use the funds to invest hence why they keep you in a loop of 'security verification' all bogus claim. Be very wary if you have money in donations, best you ask to send back to people and get them to send you directly with PP or FB donations, which I knew that before!

fraudulent company

Please do not use gofundme
we managed to raise about £8K through hard work, campaigning and so on. Our animal welfare depends on the funds raised.
They made an initial transfer after successful ID verification, following which no further transfer arrived into our account. I uploading the same ID, in vain.
They are fraudulent, will use tactics to delay any transfer, or no transfer at all.
Costumer service is appalling, no replies for a week.
service rate is high.

withdrawing money

I am only clicking this box so I can write review. I am wanting to withdraw the funds collected during our campaign and it is not allowing me to do it all despite all the correct procedures. I have been emailing constantly and NO response at all. there are no telephone numbers to contact anyone. It is extremely distressing, especially as the funds have been donated and we need the money NOW to help my terminal ill sister who needs to pay her rent money or get kicked out. I would never have thought this GOFUNDME could scam us, but why don't they answer emails withholding over $6000 worth of friends and family donations for us. Cannot tell you how distressing this is, especially for my sister.

Go FUnd Me won't pay

I don't even have a rating. these people are scam artists themselves. I have been trying to collect funds for an October 2019 fundraising campaign. All you can do is email these people and get back a bull shit response. They say Pay Pal is supposed to pay out the funds. I call Pay Pal and they have no clue what I am talking about. Yo can't talk to a person as the internet indicates they don't have phone numbers. I research to see who they are accountable to and get this to give a review. You have to be kidding me. DO they do what they want. It looks that way. Its a shame when the people who are there to help are the ones scamming people. Please if you can help it don't ever use this platform to raise money. You may never get I what you raised. I'm giving one star because I have to in order to get this message review through. Like I said in the beginning they are not even deserving of one star. its a crying shame.

go fund yourself

i am on twitter and there is a new #philanthropy movement and its out of control! some of these people have had their accounts for over a year, one guy asked for a car and got the $ donated 1500.00 and is still asking for people to donate more money! this guy has been waiting 2 years to get accepted to disability which isn't guaranteed and in the mean time wants people to support him his wife and 6 kids! mind you this guy has child support he has to pay each month also. why are they allowing people to keep their go fund me acct. to be left up for so long and to keep begging??? this guy expects others to pay his whole life for???? when is it going to be enough???

worked great for us

set up account for my daughter's surgery. I had a couple questions during the first couple weeks and received helpful answers from facebook staff within a half day. All monies donated were sent within 24 hours with no problem. Every time there was a donation, I received an update. It was incredibly helpful across the board. They take only a small percentage of money received. Well worth it.

Tip Ridiculousness

Made a donation today to a family that lost their child. I was used to some fees, but I was hit with a 15% tip amount I could not change. I don't mind covering the processing fees and some per click fee for GoFundMe operations, but 15% is beyond reason. I know how the fees for cards work since I have been in that industry for 30+ years, but the tip will keep me from donating this way anymore.

Chuck Demeo

What a scam collecting money for someone who never paid child support for his 1 son ,was a heroin addict and robbed a drug store . Bottom dwellers begging for money is sickening and shouldn't be allowed . Why are losers that chose their lifestyle allowed to ask people to support their losing choices . Sickening .

scammers

a fund was set up for me after lightning struck our home and destroyed everything. 11 days later and not a penny. they keep finding different reasons why i am not allowed to take the money people have donated to me. or, as it looks like now, have donated to gofundme

Criminals

My company set me up an account when my house burned down, I have not received a penny and there is no help desk to contact that will respond. so me and my children remain homeless because we can see the page but not get the money. its a scam I will never deal with them again.

Why The Extra Fee????

I donated yesterday to 2 different GoFundMe accounts. I have done this before but never been charged any extra money for operating expenses. One account did not charge me any extra fees, yet the other one did. Next time I decide to donate, I will just give them cash or send a check. People who are willing to donate to a cause should not have to upkeep this web site's operating expenses.

NOT ANY MORE

Donated many times before, but now I have to tip, to give away MY MONEY? What kind of scam is this? NO THANKS I'LL STAY AWAY.
