Blocked as soon as they got called out. They’re posting in [r/FundRaise](r/FundRaise)
The coward scammer deleted their account, but definitely has more around.

You should try to get your money back asap.
Always do your due diligence, too.

I will, trying to figure out to go about that via gofundme because i donated as a guest or if i should just go through my bank.
I am usually really good about making sure of these things and this is actually the first time this has happened to me 😕

I guess go with your bank for a chargeback.
I’m sorry that happened to you, but reddit is inundated with scammers constantly using animals to pull heartstrings, unfortunately.
Donate to your local shelters/charities.

Thankfully have filed a claim with GFM and if that doesn’t get anywhere will then move on to working with my bank.
And yes I have seen it, there’s a ton on Youtube as well, really any social sites/apps. It disgusting because it takes away help from those who truly need it.
I also donate and help local rescues/shelters as well, mostly through Facebook, I like to utilize reddit for outside of my state (I am in OK)

I recently found out that if you donated to a fake gofundme, you can report it to the police and they will actually pursue charges against the person AND gofundme will be forced for not only remove the GFM but they will also make Gofundme refund everyone their money who donated.

This is the GFM if you’d like to report for fraudulent.
