    From what I can tell, Bobbitt was an actual homeless veteran struggling with drug addiction, just as the Gofundme said. He was the one who was least at fault in the scam, and he was honestly getting ripped off since the couple stole most of the money. I think most people would still want to help out a homeless veteran, even if the story was made up. He's no longer homeless and is in a court-mandated drug program, so he's still managed to get his life on a better track so far.

    It's always made me uncomfortable seeing gofundme's anymore. I refused to ever let one be started for me. I knew who was going to be starting it and didn't want that because she was only doing it for attention and sympathy for HER when I'm the one who has had to go through the surgeries and radiation and testing. There are so many people who don't know two years later I have been struggling through cancer because I've purposely kept it between my friends and family, but my grandmother just kept boo hooing and saying it was so hard on her and telling all her friends and even asked two bars around town if she could set up a fundraiser for me. They could, but it would have to be linked directly to me in all ways with my consent and she wasn't happy that I wouldn't do it after everything she was doing. No, you didn't ask me, you were doing it all behind my back and then claimed it would be a surprise to help with the medical bills when they need my consent and knowledge basically. So was it really that?
    She still tries to garner sympathy over anything she can. Smashed her toe and the nail might fall off? Take pictures and get as much sympathy as we can. My sister had her baby LESS THAN A WEEK AGO and doesn't want company until everyone gets settled in. Let's call her the c-word, selfish, bring politics into it, and anything she can because she's 'keeping her from her great grandchild'. So I straight up said I was closer related, have a better relationship with my sister (so good she wanted me there, but they only allow two people at the hospitals during birth), and still hadn't seen the baby yet. It's not out of spite, she wants to heal, have time with her small family, and THEN share the love. She still wouldn't grasp it. If I wasn't epileptic and sometimes needed a ride from her, I would have zero affiliation with her. Neither of my uncles or cousins do because she's so psychotic.

      i'd rather give money to fake scammers & real people rather than not give at all. it sucks but the best way to help is either on an individual basis (making care packages with toothbrushes & toothpaste, protein bars, socks, money, etc and passing them out to homeless people in your area) or through established local charities so you know your money is going to the people who need it. i'm thankful these scammers got punished, hopefully this is a lesson to anyone considering doing the same. i can't imagine doing something like that let alone bragging to my friends about it, you'd have to be beyond heartless

    As someone who's been homeless for years and knows other homeless people, this shit both pisses me off and saddens me. I don't really like to talk about my past, but I will say it's been extremely difficult. I've been in poverty my whole life and most of my extended family doesn't like me. And once I became homeless, it's only become more difficult. And it's the same with the other homeless people I've met.
    What I'm tryna get at is, homeless people have it rough. We were raised in horrible conditions, and were put in horrible conditions. We had no control over anything, and now we're stuck. We have hopes and dreams, but because of the situation we're in, we aren't able to chase them. And when we ask for help to get out of that situation, we get trashed or beat up. It's horrible to deal with. Everyone judges you and there's nothing you can do about it.
    So when someone offers you money, or starts this huge thing just for you, you feel doubtful but special. You feel like you finally have a chance at life. A chance to get back up on your feet and start a new beginning. But then something like that happens, and now you're fucked.
    The feeling when you trusted someone to help you, and they promise that they would, but then end up turning your back on you and leaving with everything you need...you're not only heartbroken, you lost everything you could've had. It's the worst feeling, and now it's hard to trust or accept help again.
    So you may think that these scams don't do a lot of harm, but they do. Especially when you say you're doing it for someone in need but you're really not. It's fucked up. Really fucked up.
    On a happy note though, I will soon not be homeless anymore! Finally got a house to live in and a program that will pay for it! We (my family and I) will be moving in sometime this week! (Just wanted to bring a little bit of positivity)

      @@TheINFJChannel I don't like to talk about what I've experienced *whilst* homeless, is what I meant. (And usually if I do talk about my experiences (before or during homelessness) I'm very vague about it).
      I don't mind sharing that I'm homeless because I'm able to spread awareness about it, but some things I prefer to keep to myself. And I do understand that many others have lived similar lives, but that doesn't change the fact that we homeless people go through horrible stuff, and using us to gain money for yourself and leaving us nothing is a horrible thing to do. And the fact that this *isn't* a unique experience is depressing. This shouldn't be a common problem, but it is.

    I’m glad they found out and the jail time, but the difference in sentences *reeks* of sexism. That woman had as much to do with the scam as the man, and honestly I think if anyone should have the smaller sentence, it should be the addicted guy.

But yeah women tend to get lighter sentences because a lot of people still hold the idea of women being too meek to commit crimes on their own: bviously she had to goaded by a man /s. Also depends on if she made a deal with the police to throw him under the bus.

      I actually think this deplorable story has an unintended good consequence, which is to make people more skeptical about these things. You *should* expect to be scammed, because it's what most often happens. Even your donations to some 'big' organisations end up going to someone else's pockets, and only about 5% to 15% of your money ends up going to a real cause. Some organisations will tell you that you're sponsoring a kid, but about 90% of your money will fund religious 'projects' that include financing political campaigns.
      Don't give away your money to organisations. If you give $1 to a homeless person, that's better than donating $5 per month to whatever charity you can hear about.

      The fact that they took money from people who could have used it towards other actual causes. There are actual homeless people on gofundme, and now that those people got their money back they probably won’t trust gofundme anymore to donate to people who actually need help.

    Okay the homeless guy was more of a victim in this than the other two for sure. But still, how embarrassing that while trying to get more free money he totally shot himself in the foot and made the whole thing fall apart. If he hadn't tried to sue them he easily could've just walked away from this with 75k.

    I actually do remember this story very well. I remember how much it angered me. I thought the story had concluded with them being in court and convicted.
    No one would have even known this was a scam and they would have gotten away with it if they had just given the “homeless” dude his promised portion of the money. He would have kept his mouth shut if the couple would have just been a tiny bit less greedy. It angered me even more I heard the sentence given to the woman.

    It really sucks that people take advantage of this system, it really hurts the people that actually need the help. My mom tried to raise money to help with an awful life change and we just couldn't get the word out to the right people.
    I'm glad they got caught and everyone got their money back. Very shocking how that turned out.

      Because judges feel bad for women more, truthfully deep down everyone knows it's just natural to feel more empathy towards a female than a male, it's just human nature. Gender gap destroys every other discrepancy including race (6x greater.) She definitely will be released before him, but honestly it could have been SO much worse and in a lot of cases she would have gotten zero time.
