Buggy
March 3, 2025

Email unsubscription's page does not work in any browser for me, buggy as hell, I'm a programmer my self and GoFundMe tech support does not seem to really care, I've sent videos, screenshots and the error code it self, that does not matter to them. Can you trust a company that handles your money when they don't care about the code of the platform itself?

It was easy to open an account and submit a proposal for a project. I wanted help to restore my collectible car. Perhaps this should only be used for people who have real needs. I would appreciate better communication from this site.

GoFundMe has liquidated all my open positions without reason. I have filed a complaint with them.
They confirmed that the liquidation was handled incorrectly and offered me compensation of only 1.6% of my losses. Stay away from this broker! I was lucky enough to get my money back with the help of GAARD.IO I got my refund with their help

Valid Court Order
October 21, 2024

These clowns will not release funds from a valid court order against the person asking for donations. This company is enabling fraud.

The worst investing platform I've ever experienced. Only possible to email their support department, and keep getting the same generic template replies a week after sending the email that don't answer any questions or fix the problems i have. Just a simple contact www.RegainOrg.Info on Google and all was resolved

Beware SCAM
February 5, 2024

We set up a GoFundMe for a friend in distress and raised over $6000. Go fund me didn't allow for the funds to be transferred to my friend. They have no customer service phone number, no agents on chat and no responsive email address. I submitted numerous tickets and this issue never got resolved. Beware.

Set up a GDM page for a literally starving family (long term friends) living in Gaza, now refugees housed temporarily in Rafah. GFM immediately put the page 'under review', meaning people can still contribute but no money will be transferred to the needy. Long list of open-ended questions via email. I answer immediately then get no response. Still waiting after 3 days. A site that pertains to help, but does not actually help starving people (bc they are brown, imho) is worse than useless.

We made a donation and gofundme took fifteen percent for their own pocket without my authorization.
Seems like a scam to me. Sorry for those who need help,but I will never give another dollar to them.
RIPPED OFF It was an anonymous gift so we won't add picture.

Does not work...
January 25, 2024

In 2018-2019 my mother had passed in Michigan.
When I tried to raise the money for her funeral through the go fund me page. The end result was I lost out on trying to bury my mother. Now all states. State that if you do not claim the deceased in time the people let the bodies up and cremate them together in a big pile of ash and that's it. By the way her name was Monica Renee McClanahan.
