  • Only donate to people you know and trust
  • Look for a verification graphic. Some GoFundMe accounts are verified charities, or account owners can request to have Facebook verify their pages.
  • Do your research. Check for websites and social media pages that also belong to a person or organization, and follow links to donation sites from those pages.
  • Try to contact the account holder. Fraudulent account holders are often more difficult to reach.
  • Trust your gut. If you have doubts, don't donate.
