GoFundMe good deed scam

2018-11-15 23:51:57.828306+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Homeless veteran and New Jersey couple arrested in GoFundMe scam.

According to Coffina, McClure texted a friend less than an hour after the GoFundMe campaign launched, saying the story was "completely made up." McClure did not run out of gas on an I-95 ramp and Bobbitt did not offer his last $20 to help her. In the text exchange, McClure told her friends to "shh about the made up stuff," Coffina said.
