Yea you’re a scammer for sure . Someone will report that link

It just makes you think and hope it’s not a scam but then she calls herself lady baller too………
What scam did she do? She literally stated what she’s going to use the funds for & stated the security deposit voucher from the beginning… she said she wanted to keep
The THREAD open to update everyone not the gofundme link. If you feel someone is scamming, just don’t donate.

I don't think she's a scammer, but how do we avoid degrading this useful live lottery information exchange forum...This forum helps us keep lottery management on their tip-toes, by monitoring their fulfilment practice. Not a place for solicitations. Repeating myself: if OP posts exactly what steps she'd taken to overcome redtape or receive institutional grant, and exact timelines - that's futhering the forum. But subject of reader donation should never arise here

I think it's great that you raised $3,000. I was happy to help with my small donation and very happy that someone who could afford $1,800 could offer more. Disregard the scammer comments, it was inevitable, and enjoy your new home.

Yea I’ve tried to just ignore it…I literally just came from signing the lease, all went well! I’m so happy and finally not anxious anymore! Thank you so much!

Just wanted to share an update….I just signed the lease! And as for the security voucher, they did take it. But she did let me know that in the event that my case is denied then of course I would still owe that deposit. It wouldn’t jeopardize the lease though so to say since it’s already signed, but it would be added to my balance. She also said they take all types of programs and assistance and try to work with everyone. So I’m not sure if this is across the board as far as all lotteries or if it is just this company.

Thanks again for all the help!

I’m confused so why was the GFM made? If the security voucher paid for first month and security, it is a scam that you asked for money because you did not use what was given in the gofundme
