GoFundMe Fraud
It seems the swindlers were quick to exploit the death of the sheriff's deputy in the Caribbean:
GoFundMe has removed an online fundraiser for Cook County sheriff’s deputy Shamone Duncan, who was killed earlier this month while visiting Turks and Caicos.
The online fundraising platform removed the page after a Sun-Times inquiry. Family told the Sun-Times that Duncan’s family was not involved with the fundraiser for funeral expenses and was not receiving the money. The campaign had raised $500 by Monday morning.
If there's a legit fundraiser in existence, post it in the comments.

There still some legit GoFundMe accounts for coppers out there alright. One for Hoochie-Coochie in 012 asking for donations to repair his car after it got "shot by thugs" in the 10th District. Another for retired 12th District DUI officer JK for replacing his BMW after his "girlfriend stole his car" again for the fifteenth time. {snicker}
That is a particular kind of evil.
And dollars to donuts, it’s her own peeps running the grift.
You are kidding I hope
This is way to funny.
GIVESENDGO is Christian, Protestant fund raising org. They don't steal money from the person the fund raising is for. GoFundMe is a rip off.
Just going with "retired" for JK, eh? That self-important, arrogant, sanctimonious douchebag retired to avoid being fired for perjury and forgery charges. He thought he was a god because he made DUI arrests. He thought everyone should bow down and thank him for singlehandedly saving the world from drunk drivers. Now his cases that he was so proud of are either dismissed or in jeopardy of being dismissed, since he can't be trusted to testify truthfully. I believe he used the "girlfriend stole my car" excuse 44 times. Just because most officers don't want to deal with DUI arrests doesn't make you a savior or a god, JK. It just means they'll temporarily treat you like one for taking their 501 for them.
