>Are there laws to stop people from taking a pic off a child, giving a short story of how amazing she is, but that cancer is crippling her, and asking for donations?

The law that deals with fraud lmao

>>1553413
What if the person doesnt really lie?
i.e someone attempting to make a start up business, using a small amount of the money in a mediocre attempt, before calling the quits?
The whole site seems riddled with ways for people to decieve others and make a small fortune

>>1553417
You could do it if you want

But we're just saying it's illegal

>>1553417
I'm just saying, with a story about a dying kid you WILL be investigated by someone,
and if they find out you're taking money using a photo from Google images or something you're fucked.

Yes i understand, that's not the point of this thread.
I'm not asking how to defraud the people.
But given that the site is based on donations, doesn't this leave a massive grey area in terms of ethical and legal practice?

For example, lets say someone wanted to start up a company, with the intent of drug research. Alright, so people donate.
They then ''hire'' a bunch of college chums, and we spend the days neeting whilst reading Wikipedia articles on pharmaceuticals. eventually the money dries up. they call the quits. and that's the end of it.

Given the nature of the site, and that all money exchanged are donations (peronal gifts) doesn't this allow for a lot of word trickery that wouldn't at all be lying, but still not be in the best interest of the "customer"?

Tbh i don't even think the site should exist

How about they get together to pursue a civil judgment against your ass?
Or, god forbid, you accept donations from someone with actual money and they do it themselves?
Do you have representation to fight them?
What will that cost you?
And if they win, will you be cool with your wages being garnished in perpetuity?

>>1553454

Wages? This faggot is probably worth less than $200. And that's assuming you can liquidate his anime figurines.

Ok, so he kills himself when he realizes that the state will legally take 75% of anything he ever does make, until he pays them off.
Which he never will, because the interest will eat him alive.

>>1553488

He probably doesn't even know what interest is. What a loser and a dumb "idea" he came up with. Probably should behead him.

Maybe we can pool some money together and put a fat insurance policy on him. He won't make it long in this world.

I made one asking for money to get a wii u, someone paid for it. So just do it and have fun pal

You're not the first person to think like this. The types of people that take ethics seriously really take it seriously.

You will be found out and you'll be charged with fraud or at the very least taken to civil court.

That is what is stopping would-be fraudsters. I dout you're more talented than the next idiot, so why don't we stop this line of thought here.
