Yep... My original thought was "oh, please."

I hate to be such a negative nancy here but... how many of these are downright scams, that is people lying about being sick, or being sick but lying about the extent of their medical bills, or even people simply being greedy because they have a sob story.

I'm guessing a large percentage, or at least significant.

Call me cold hearted but I just really don't like GoFundMe as a concept. Seems to encourage all life challenges to become chances to collect money. I'm not uncharitable, I just think it breed greed.
