There’s a nice little business opportunity with the trend of putting Venmo messages on cars. The messages could be professionally created for a fee, similar to how some parents pay for pros to put big Happy Birthday messages on their lawns along with other signs related to their kid’s interests.

The Venmo message could be a window decal or handwritten and come in a selection of colors. Make a deal with bars in Spring Break destinations to provide a limited number of free shots for certain dollar donation levels. QR code would take people to a short video of the girl begging for money.

Spring Break timing is staggered across the country so advertise with flyers at sorority houses a week or two before Spring Break and have a team draw messages by hand on the car.

People will put their ethics to the side when it comes to making money. That’s the real world, grow a sack and accept it.

If people are stupid enough to buy into these scams then I don’t feel sorry for them one bit

I will see if I can find the image of it, but this dude I knew growing up started a Gofundme page earlier in the year.

This dude was trying to raise $1000 for a new iphone for his daughter because the police took it away because evidently some boy texted her "nasty" pictures and told her they were keeping her phone.

This dude is a major frick up. Thankfully no one donated to him, but people will try to get money for anything.

hate when someone outside a store asks for cash


I tell them yes then just look at them. Rarely do they ask if they can have it.

Cmon man… I can’t be the only one who goes around Destin condo parking lots and changing the “Just Married!! Buy us a drink!!” Cash app to my own.

It’s difficult to get trashier than that……I find that type of behavior repulsive and no better than bums panhandling.

"Fund the whatever youth travel baseball team to play their 19th meaningless tournament in nowhere Louisiana!!"

I get these all the time; I did it ONCE for a good friend.

Think it was like 2-3 years ago if I recall. Want to say the guy made a post about his wife dying. Some additional sketchy info surfaced about the dude and I think he ghosted. Resurfaced not too long ago, supposedly clean now, and apologized.

Gofundme, you mean the money laundering app? Sure there are a few legit people looking for help/helping, but lets be realistic.

I saw someone I know post a gofundme for a surgical procedure and three month later pics of flying in a private plane on a pretty lavish vacation. No shame. Either one individually wouldn’t be an issue, together it’s just wrong.
