GoFundMe Campaign Removed
GoFundMe has removed a campaign that claimed to raise funds for a victim of the Lapu-Lapu festival tragedy, refunding over $57,000 contributed by approximately 1,700 people. This action follows a report by a British Columbia woman who expressed concerns that the fundraiser was fraudulent, stating she “couldn’t bear the thought” of exploitation during a community tragedy. The incident highlights the importance of vigilance against scams in times of distress.
