It doesn't quite translate in my mind.
GFY Female: Terrible thing X happened to me. I'm emotionally hurt. 
GFY Male #1: Here's $100!
GFY Male #2: Yeah, here's $500! Let's get everyone to give her money!
*choir of agreement*
It's the same pattern every time. Why do you do this when the victim is not even economically hurt, and is there reason to believe that your actions could result in more scams as people become aware that pulling one small post could result in thousands of dollars (remember the boob-job?)?
And why aren't the victims ever declining the money or hitting the brakes on large scale donation crusades? Why do some of them even encourage it by publically gaining emotional ground and saying, "it is SO appreciated, sweetiepie
" for every $100 that ticks in? Were the donations at least partly to place in their judgement for posting their private situations on GFY in a time of supposed grief?
I'm not trying to be an asshole here at all, but this whole thing just seems exceedingly pointless and even pathetic.
