Go Fund me who do you think is asking for free money?

I was researching beggars/ panhandlers a while back, and one of the interesting things I read is that they'll start out by putting a couple dollars worth of change in their bucket.

People passing by see the change in the bucket, and figure if someone else felt the beggar was genuine enough to give money to, there's no reason they shouldn't also.

I think the trick with these donation sites is to start out with atleast 25-50% of your stated goal, and once people see its almost there, they'll be more excited to pitch in to help you reach 100%.

I think we need a RVF test. Knock up a fake page, pics of a cute girl 'struggling through college whilst caring for her sick mother'.

Proceeds to ROK.

Just a heads up to those wanting to do a test campaign with a fake girl.

Putting up a fake fund me campaign amounts to fraud and in some cases wire fraud. A couple of folks have been canned for that.

Maybe the "new wave" in scamming is just this: being honest.

I think it's more: being shameless.

Yeah I couldn't stand to ask for money, I could ask for a Job though, but I couldn't just ask for free money like that. I'd feel like shit.
