My formal submission of a report of this fake hate crime campaign on GoFundMe https://www.gofundme.com/racism-is-real-let039s-stop-it
"The premise of this campaign is to cover damages to a vehicle caused by a hateful (i.e, racist, individual). However, it is exceedingly apparent that his is not the case.
The organizer of the campaign launched it within hours of the purported vandalization, showing clear premeditation and intent to extort crowdfunding platforms such as GoFundMe.
If an automobile is covered under nearly all basic-level insurance policies, the victim may submit a report of vehicle damages, which vandalism falls under the category of. However, the organizers of this campaign have either chosen not to do so willfully, or worse, have done so and are also seeking (extorting) additional monetary gain through GoFundMe.
The damages as shown in the campaign images have absolutely no possibility of warranting a $10,000 donations goal. This is patently absurd.
It is clearly evident with the provided description of the events in question that the organizer is appealing to emotion and empathy rather than describing any relevant reason why insurance would not cover this for them, provided that this is even a legitimate vandalism at hand.
It is my sincerest recommendation that whomever reviews this report takes a realistic, and objective, look into what is going on here, and to take appropriate action against the campaign's organizer.
While such a senseless crime is a tragic burden to be put on anyone, it is my chiefest of beliefs that this particular crime is fraudulent, and furthermore was staged and acted out by the organizer himself, therefore this campaign itself is illegitimate."
