**The nation is as yet thinking about Wednesday's fatal mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida that left 17 dead, and a considerable lot of us are anxious to do whatever we can to help those influenced. A standout amongst the most critical ways we can help is by giving some budgetary alleviation to the casualties and their families, however we should be cautious when we give: not every person has altruistic goals.

On Thursday morning, the Broward Sheriff's office tweeted a connection to an authority GoFundMe crusade expressing: "there have been a few fake @gofundme accounts."**

It's extraordinary to know there's an official reserve (which as of at the beginning of today has raised over $640k) and that it's sponsored by a honest to goodness non-benefit, the Broward Education Foundation (as demonstrated by its 501(c)3 status), however shouldn't something be said about those phony assets? How does GoFundMe handle such circumstances and what should imminent givers pay special mind to?
