Scammers created a fake \u201cGoFundMe\u201d campaign to raise money for a Florida Realtors\u2019 member\u2019s child suffering from a rare disease. Don\u2019t believe it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 A fake \u201cGoFundMe\u201d campaign purports to raise money for a Florida Realtors\u00ae\u2019 member\u2019s child suffering from a rare disease. Don\u2019t believe it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cTony Needs You\u201d email appears to come from Florida Realtors. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Florida Realtors did not send this email. Also, Florida Realtors will never send a GoFundMe request to our members.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If a fake email asks for \u201ca favor\u201d or donation, don\u2019t buy into it \u2013 or any other email simply because you trust the sender.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you receive an email from a person or organization that you can\u2019t seem to ignore, take the following precautions:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
Call that person or their office directly to confirm they actually sent the email<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
Check the \u201cfrom\u201d box at the top of the email. Scammers often have a legit title in the space before the \u201c@\u201d, but a questionable title after the \u201c@\u201d. Sometimes the title after the \u201c@\u201d looks valid but has a single letter or number that has been changed.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
Be especially wary of any email sent from a Gmail, Hotmail or other service that allows anyone to sign up for an email address.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
If you do receive a spam email, mark it as spam with your email service provider.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Also consider reporting the scam to the FBI\u2019s Internet Crime Complaint Center<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
