Freedom Convoy Canada 2022
In January 2022, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that truck drivers crossing into Canada would have to be fully vaccinated. In response, some truckers organized a convoy to Ottawa. A project was created with the claim of raising money for fuel and food for the convoy. On February 4, 2022, GoFundMe announced the fundraiser had been removed from the platform for violating terms of service, specifically “violence and other unlawful activity”.

Hi people! GoFraudMe.com is here, yay!
 
Over the next few days and weeks, we hope to put together one badass website highlighting known crowdfunding scams, resources for those who suspect fundraisers to be fraudulent, and cheat sheets for media professionals covering crowdfunding. We get tons of questions on our Facebook page surrounding these issues, so that’s our first priority.

It’s nicknamed “GoFraudMe” for a reason. I donate my hard-earned money to legitimate nonprofits that I’ve researched.

There is a US probe into what some are now calling #GoFraudMe in regard to handling of the #FreedomConvoy campaign, which had raised over $10M & was deleted by #GoFundMe, who had not originally planned to automatically #refund donors.
