This is part of my job, day in, day out.”Ī spokesperson for GoFundMe released a statement that reads in part, “Immediately following the news of the Surfside condominium collapse, we mobilized a dedicated team to begin monitoring the platform for fundraisers that were created to help individuals and families. This is no different,” he said, “whether I’m watching your dollars here from Tallahassee or I’m watching your dollars as somebody who’s trying take advantage of you that may be a third party. “It’s my role as the CFO of the state of Florida to be the watchdog over the people’s dollars. Patronis said his request for an investigation is part of his ongoing efforts to prevent scammers from targeting Floridians.
“They have done nothing to ensure the transparency of the dollars that are donated by good-hearted people actually get to those that truly need it.” “We will have more opportunities for the fraudsters to take advantage of the generosity of others that want to help, and I feel like GoFundMe needs to be held accountable, and their business model needs to do more than let me know they’ve found 21 fraudulent accounts,” he said. Patronis said that in a state prone to disasters like hurricanes, it’s important that generous dollars reach people who are truly in need.
“I want to ensure and see if this is any violation of the Unfair and Deceptive Practices Act.” GoFundMe admitted that they had already targeted 21 fraudulent accounts,” he said.
