“Our hearts go out to the Rochester Hills community and to all of those affected by this senseless tragedy,” the spokesperson emailed the Free Press early Monday afternoon.
“At GoFundMe, being a safe and trusted place to give and receive help is our top priority. GoFundMe has zero tolerance for the misuse of our platform and those who seek to take advantage of the generosity of the community.”
GoFundMe removed the Kyle J. Thompson fundraiser from the platform. “None of the funds were released to the fundraiser organizer, and all donors have been refunded,” the spokesperson said.
“We will cooperate with law enforcement investigations of those accused of wrongdoing. The GoFundMe Giving Guarantee protects donors by guaranteeing a full refund in the rare case something isn’t right.”
