Dishonest and No Support
February 6, 2022

Set up a GoFundMe for a fellow nurse and when I tried to turn the account over to her, it took her weeks to get it set up and there was no way to get support because we both would end up in a circular call tree for several minutes, but would never be able to speak to anyone. My friend finally got it figured out on her own, but she shouldn't have had go through all of that.

Then, when I heard today that GFM wants to refund the donations for the Canadian Truckers or donate it to a cause they deem as more worthy, like BLM, I'm out. I will NEVER donate to another cause on their platform or set up an account to help a friend. I've done it for several. From now on, I will use GiveSendGo. I hope GFM gets their asses sued into oblivion. They're nothing more than Leftist thieves. Get Woke, Go Broke! Bye GoFundMe!

Horrible company. I've seen them steal money multiple times from donors. With no explanation. If the alarm free well. This company should be shut down

GoFundMe decided that the Freedom Convoy in Canada was violent and a threat. GoFundMe stated that they would withhold over $10 million Canadian dollars raised in donations to the Freedom Convoy. This is fraud and theft! Later, GoFundMe stated they would return the donations to the donors. This is not acceptable behavior for a business and GoFundMe is no longer trustworthy, especially as they allowed funding for groups that were violent and burned cars and buildings, overturned police vehicles, rioted, looted, beat people, etc.

Freedom Convoy 2022
February 5, 2022

They do not represent Freedom. They are a far left leaning organization that tried to steal money from an honest cause. They will be left in the ash heap of history along with Trudeau. I support Freedom for all, and they do not.

Now the powers at GFM confiscate the Australians funds and refuse to give the money back to donors.
Shame again on GFM!

In my opinion, these puppets at gofundme, refuse to give this great Canadian convoy their money because of police and political interference in a great cause. Those who choose to do this should all lose their jobs.

This company has revealed their true colors by the way it has handled the donations for the truckers freedom convoy. First these weasels try to redistribute the money that wasn't claimed for a refund and then after threats of fraud decide to just refund the funds to their respective donors. 10 million dollars in funds not being refunded. Why, because they are puppets to the deep state masters. No balls!

First, these psychopaths steal money from you if they randomly decide they don't like your beliefs or cause. They are thieves and liars, and they hate whites also. Do not give these creeps your money!

Biased and corrupt
February 5, 2022

I've given to many gofundmes throughout the years and while I believe that this is a great concept and platform- the fact that they are controlling funds and limiting donations to certain groups for political purposes is STRAIGHT UP DISCRIMINATION. I will never donate using this platform again. Hope they sink.

I will never encourage any one to use this site nor will I ever use or donate to anyone on this platform. They blatantly stole money and diverted money donated to the trucker protests in Canada to bring attention to the mask and vaccine mandates. You should remain neutral in this donation. You never stopped or stole money being donated to BLM nor should you have. People don't need you to decide where we should donate our money. You stole my money. I will never use this site again and I will tell everyone I know not to use this site either. I hope you go out of business.

Bunch of thieves. They stopped payments to Canadian truckers. The donated funds were almost 10 million dollars and the truckers do not access to it because of political pressure. Basically they remove the donation page and froze the funds. They will reimburse donators.
This will affect your future as you will be investigated. Morons.

This company will shutdown your fundraising site due to political pressure. These folks will fully support one politically charged charity and do everything they can to detour a charity that has a different view. Buyer Beware!

Hypocrites and theives
February 5, 2022

My money didn't go to the peaceful truckers convoy. GFM froze convoy account the first time and investigated and found them to be peaceful so opened it back up. GFM Froze a second time with no illigal or violent actions performed by the large convoy group and cancelled it all. GFM announced the money that was raised was going to go to a group of their proven choosing. Deplorable actions of GFM. Will never use again and do not recommended them ever again!
