What's stopping me from setting up a gofundme page that I need money for a surgery and getting the money when I don't need any surgery?

Nobody will donate much to a complete stranger
Your parenting.
nothing apart from criminal law (fraud).

How is that possible though?

well, if you want to get the money out of gofundme there's a paper trail to your person. so you're banking on nobody getting suspicious and alerting authorities. it's a fair bet, you know the risk, you know the benefits. the choice is yours.

What if I make some kind of proxy bank to store the money. It'll work with a story that involves being a third world shit hole.

What do I even look for? I google'd Gofundme scams and it was just people creating pages like "please gib me dats, i want a new car". That's hardly a scam..

Add "fraud arrest" to your search. You're not looking for ongoing scams, you're looking for those who got caught.

Your conscience.
Or are you like Shillary and have no soul?

It could work if you pretend to be a cute girl or a little kid. Or say you're gay. People love fags.
Start a black lives matter fundraiser to help repair black neighborhoods destroyed by racist white looters
okay what about if you kickstart a device in which the idea is incredible and it solves a problem many people are currently having. it works as advertised but theres a fundamental flaw that will definitely receive negativity. is it immoral to shill a shitty product that has potential to make me a ton of money?

if you're dumb enough to think you can scam people without already having an air tight way to get away with it, you deserve to go to jail when they catch you for it. which they will.

The fact that if you did, you'd be a shitcunt.
I know someone who went to prison for doing something very similar.
