Urgent Request to Remove Fraudulent Campaign.
Dear GoFundMe Support Team,
I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a fraudulent campaign titled “Reforestation in Eritrea” hosted on your platform. The campaign can be found at the following link: Reforestation in Eritrea.
GoFundMe could face legal issues if it is found to be ignoring U.S. sanctions related to unlicensed fundraising for Eritrea. The platform has measures in place to recognize and manage unauthorized donations. Legal inquiries and compliance issues are taken seriously, and GoFundMe provides specific contact information for law enforcement and legal counsel. If there are concerns about a specific campaign, it can be reported for review.
As a U.S. company, GoFundMe is subject to all U.S. laws and regulations, including those set forth by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Department of the Treasury. In some cases, U.S. sanctions, or sanctions from other relevant government bodies, prohibit supporting a fundraiser for certain causes.
The organizer is not licensed under OFAC, Eritrea is under U.S. sanctions, and there is no money transmitter license.
I have strong reasons to believe that this campaign is a scam designed to deceive donors. The individuals behind this campaign have close ties to terrorist organizations and operate under various aliases and projects to solicit funds fraudulently. This poses a significant risk to unsuspecting donors and undermines the integrity of your platform.
I urge you to investigate this matter promptly and take appropriate action to remove the campaign and prevent further fraudulent activities. Please let me know if you require any additional information or evidence to support this claim.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious issue. The campaign can be found at the following link: [Reforestation in Eritrea](https://www.gofundme.com/f/reforestation-in-eritrea).
Sincerely,
Saba H.
