GoFundMe says donations in alleged homeless scam fundraiser returned

The homeless man and the two people who raised more than $400,000 have been charged in the case.

The popular site GoFundMe said Monday that it has given refunds to people who donated money to a charity fund for a homeless man that prosecutors say was a scam.

“All donors who contributed to this GoFundMe campaign have been fully refunded,” spokesman Bobby Whithorne said in an email.

People donated more than $400,000 to a campaign that hinged on a story of a homeless man who purportedly gave his last $20 to help a stranded motorist on a Pennsylvania freeway ramp in November 2017.

Prosecutors say that never happened, and the “the entire campaign was predicated on a lie.” Read more
