/u/Inevitable-Trade-962 on If you are going to donate to someone on Go Fund Me, do you research for the validity of their request? Or just blindly donate?

Wait 5 sec.

Got it. That makes more sense, so it’s really about donating to people you don’t personally know, rather than truly anonymous recipients. Thanks for clarifying. I was under the impression that anyone receiving funds has to go through KYC with the payment processor. I assumed that’s how they verify the recipient is the intended person receiving the money. Like there has to be laws right? Either way, I definitely went down a GoFundMe rabbit hole last night. Thanks for the response!
