There are several Gofundme and other crowd sourcing accounts set up in the names of individuals who allegedly are delegates to the Republican convention. These solicitations claim that the alleged delegates need donations to pay travel expenses for the trip to Cleveland.
There is a rumor on social media that at least a few of these solicitations may be fraudulent. The question is, if one is inclined to donate, how to tell whether the solicitation is real or not?
Is there a way to determine whether the individual making the solicitation is really a delegate, or if the person or group setting up the solicitation for the alleged “delegate” has some legitimate connection to that “delegate?” I don’t know how well Gofundme and other such entities screen these solicitations for fraud.
Seems to me if a person is going to be a delegate, he or she would have the financial resources to travel. Otherwise, why volunteer, or why accept the delegate slot? Maybe someone can straighten me out on this issue.
