Someone went to GFM and said my drive to raise funds for my flight to see my wife
is fraudulent.
GFM has shut down my ability to log in and has not sent me an email so I can change my password after repeated requests.
They sent me an email saying that they need to contact me because of "unusual activity in (my) GoFundMe account."
When this everlasting nightmare end for me? I can't do this anymore. I can't do it.
The one person I want in my life and it's getting harder and harder to get back to her.
Someone here in one of my earlier posts even called me a fraud and told me they will continue to "document my movements so my fraud is recorded."
I just want my wife. I don't know to do anymore.

2. I did. I'm waiting for them to contact me
Why is all this happening to me? At this point, when I go home to be with her again, I never want to come back.
I don't recognize this place anymore.

3. So sorry you are going through this
Du owners should get involved if someone threatened you on this site and seemingly followed through by lying about you to gfm
I didn’t see the threat but I have a lot of posters on ignore.
I really hope this gets worked out for you

33. It isn't
They only suspend if it's to do with raising money for a criminal (ie the J6 people), or there appears to be something unusual on the account.

17. I will do my best, but this does not help recovery from a nervous breakdown I had in November
over all of this with immigration and my wife.
I hope my meds help me keep things together.

16. Years ago a fund raising account was derailed for live saving surgery
The man died.
Too many busy bodies wanting to find fault in the world when they should mind their own business before destroying good things.

19. I remember that. He had pancreatic cancer and the Whipple procedure was deemed experimental
Even though it was considered the best surgical treatment choice. He had to raise $50k iirc for an upfront payment before the hospital would schedule the surgery.
He actually reached the GFM goal and then some vindictive soul challenged it.
He died fighting that hold on the cash.
Yup, shitty folks doing shitty things. You gotta hope karma bites them someday

They said so, admitted it.

To all of DU: I am sorry I asked for help trying to reunite with my wife

As I write this, I literally have tears streaming down my face.

For all who have, words cannot express adequately how grateful I am. I've lived a two year nightmare and a lot of you have really come to bat for me. I wish there is something I can do to repay your kindness and a sincere, heartfelt thank and gratitude seems woefully inadequate.

But all this morning, I have been defending myself against people who think I am using this for ulterior motives. I have none. If the policies in China didn't change, I would have done this all myself.

I know I will never change anyone's mind who are convinced that I am not being honest.

1: Yes, I am going to a film festival in April. I paid for it out of my paycheck. I was under orders to keep it as cheap as possible so I can bring money from my salary back to China with me as I will not get paid there until September. Which I did by checking with her every single place I could stay.

2: 40% of my net pay goes to my wife in China every month, so I am literally living hand to mouth. As a teacher, I get $1537 every two weeks. Then I have bills, food, and gas. I haven't been out except to go to Tucson for business in months and the closest thing I get to "eating out" is a subway, Eegee's, or In and Out burger as I am driving either to or from Tucson.

3: I have limited medical care for fear that medical bills would hurt me.

4: I have gone nowhere since last June with was to Puerto Penasco in Mexico for a long weekend.

5: I am literally supporting myself, my wife, and her family on my paycheck right now. I asked no one to help me and I wouldn't accept it if they did.  Seems to be working awfully hard to get to that GFM money for someone who "wouldn't accept (help) even if offered."

I'm sorry people think I'm a fraud. I'm sorry for asking for help. It is my business and as such, it is my responsibility. But last night, when I video chatted with my wife, she smiled for the first time in a long time knowing I was coming home and we can finally start our family. She knows that men in my family don't normally live passed 65 and I am 43.

I hadn't seen my wife smile like that for a very long time. The last time I saw my wife face to face, she was crying and refusing to let me go at Pudong Airport. I still remember her video chatting me on the flight last year in Detroit, tears streaming down her face asking why they were doing this to her and that she was afraid to move because "they are watching me," then putting her phone camera over her should to see two male CBP officers glaring at her with their arms crossed. She quickly disconnected and didn't speak to me again until she was in Shanghai.

If people want to see the reason I did this, swallowed my pride, and asked for help, here it is:

***A couple of scans of some Chinese looking document***


Those are our official Chinese red marriage books. The ugly bald troll is me, the pretty Chinese woman with the long hair is my wife, Wei Huan 魏欢. That's why I set up a GFM. I had no where else to turn.

And now, I feel lower than lower for doing that after this morning. I need to take time away from DU. For all of those who helped me, words cannot express my undying love and gratitude for all of you. I wish I could do or say more.

So all of you know, I have setup an account at my Credit Union for all the GFM and other funds. It won't even go into my bank account and I gave my mother the account information and the card that came with it.

I'm sorry I put everything here through this. I really do feel like I am horrible person. I typed all of this with tears in my eyes.

Those words above about seeing his wife smile for the first time in a long time ... he's used that several times in other threads when he was supposedly needing money for his campaign and his wife was bravely telling him to fight on.  He's not the hero the people want right now, but he's the hero they need.

Geeez, this DUmbass is so emotionally unstable he should be kept far, far away from any governmental body that votes to impliment laws of the population.

From what I can recall, there was a lot more to this story than the DUmmies are letting on.
FrankSolich can probably provide more info..

Scamdy! I have not heard that in years.

114. I bought the trip to LA in January before all this happened

The GFM is in a separate bank account which I gave my mother all the paperwork and the card.

I guess ol' mom can be trusted to not give him any money?

But wait, there's more!

135. Oh, that's easy! You can totally get a refund, man

Air B & Bs totes will refund you, easy peasy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, you've stated before you don't have living parents, just cousins and aunts and uncles, so this is interesting! You might wanna go edit that post since you put in the wrong info.

Alfred Hitchcock plot twist!  Where will the saga go from here?

You know, I've seen the DUmmies absolutely defend to the death the right of people who draw welfare and foodstamps to not be questioned about what they do with the tax payer's money, but damn, when they know the money is coming out of THEIR pocket ... 

Some of the people on his TWO threads he's started about this are tearing him up.  Deservedly so in my opinion, but if you're going to ask for money you should be prepared to answer for how you intend to use those funds.  I feel the same way about those on the government tit.  An audit every couple of years or something shouldn't be out of the question and drug screens are an absolute must!

Just my $0.02.

17. I will do my best, but this does not help recovery from a nervous breakdown I had in November

over all of this with immigration and my wife.

I hope my meds help me keep things together.

Are those 'meds' or are they something a touch less legal?
