NurseRecruiter was selling questionable argon oil, I think it was, to other Beauty posters, also ripping them off.

I think BtoB was mostly on the Pets forum. (if I remember right)

There was another on Among Friends with a sad story like BtoB. Don't remember her nic. Don't know if she got much but the BtoB lady got thousands of dollars from posters.

"Back-to-brunette" or BtoB for short, I believe was one of the posters who scammed this board for money.

Thanks! That's the one I had in mind.

No and I never will. I might be a fool but I'm not a #&?# fool.

GoFundMe is a legit website. So is Kickstarter. I've donated a number of times to that site with 100% success.

Thanks again everyone. I feel totally comfortable with the person's page I donated to. I appreciate the comments.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

They got 25,000 in donations in less than a week. That was the goal they asked for, when it was reached, their page was closed.

I don't think it's just for medical issues. The page I donated to had nothing to do with that.

It is not just for medical issues. I have donated for funerals & pet surgery many times for people. They are set up in categories & you click on the one you want. I select Funerals & Tributes & Pets & Animals but there are many others. Why would someone make a statement like that. And, it is legit.
