Fraudsters make murder on the crowdfunding platform

Hyderabad: Next time if you want to support someone raising funds for medical care on the crowdfunding platform, check carefully before you transfer money.
While many people have succeeded in raising funds for the care of their loved ones through crowdfunding, police and activists have found several cases, where the Scamster has committed murder on social media.
“From what we know, two fake fundraising was created for the care of my child and even one Rupee reached us,” said M Harish Raj, whose nine-month-old son Charan had undergone surgery for rare diseases in July.
Harish, who has been unemployed for the past year, said his son in the need for operations and needed a large amount to meet medical expenses.
He shared his son’s medical documents with friends and relatives and sought their help.
“I don’t know how they end up on social media.
Unknown people raise money for my son’s operations, but don’t help us,” he added.
While some are said to start raising funds by using random patient bills, others request financial assistance with misunderstanding that the people they love are sick.
Covid Warriors have found several fake Fundrraiserskvm Prasad, ACP, Cybercrime, Hyderabad and S Harinath, his colleague at Rachakonda urged people to immediately contact the police cyber, if they face such a problem.
“Online cheating is always rampant.
The same thing is the case during a pandemic and many loss of money obtained with difficulty trusting and transferring money to unknown people for drugs and injections.
People must be careful,” said Harinath , Covid soldiers, who helped people find drugs, raised funds, among others, said that they found some fake fundraising and issued them from the crowdfunding platform in the past month.
Another woman, who started a fundraising for her husband’s mukormycosis treatment, also had a terrible experience.
“I’m not sure whether the funds are directed to other people’s accounts, but after a while we don’t get funds,” he said.
In most cases, the telephone number and account details mentioned along with requests do not belong to patient family members.
“Recently, I saw a request on Twitter asking for money for rare operations.
I recognize the photo of the child.
His surgery has been done and the application that is looking for funds from the Minister of Public Assistance also received.
When I called the number, he said that he said While raising funds for his nephew operation.
When I faced, he promised to send money to the parents from the boy, but failed to do it, “said Sheik Rafeeq, a Covid fighters.
Sai Charan K, another activist who coordinated with Crowdfunding groups said that he got around seven blocked requests from the Crowdfunding platform in the last 20 to 30 days.
Activists say that not only for surgery or care, people also try to get easy money by asking for food, diapers, baby food, among others.
“Instead of looking for help from one, only a few are close to six to seven people and receive help from everyone.
To fight this, we all start communicating among ourselves and only one of us helps only if the request is found original, “Srinivas Bellam said from feeding NGOs in need.
“It’s a kind of emotional extortion because Scamster begged them to need funds for babies or children,” Bellam added.
