This right here is why I learned years ago to reserve comment until all the facts are in before levelling judgement on someone.
Of course, all the "what a scumbag" comments aren't exactly bad, only in that whenever someone does pull a scam like what was described in the first post they absolutely do deserve such comments, and more.
That's just not the case here.
@nickatilynx -- I can think of at least half a dozen donation threads posted here over the years that later turned out to be scams. As it turns out this is one of the few worthy ones, but you're in error to suggest that this "one lone thread shouldn't off-put anyone from donating", because there've been far more than just one.
I'll donate (and have donated many times) directly to the red cross, kids charities, the local animal shelter, etc, but my days of sending money to someone's paypal account for some supposed "cause" are long done thanks to those who posted such scams in the past. Sorry if that bothers anyone.
