Every person who made a contribution to a GoFundMe page for a homeless man who spent his last $20 to help a stranded woman will get their money back after it was revealed that the story was fake, according to prosecutors.
Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina said Mark D'Amico, Katelyn McClure and Johnny Bobbitt concocted the story that Bobbitt spent his last $20 to help McClure after she ran out of a gas in New Jersey in November of 2017.
Within an hour of posting the story on a GoFundMe page, Coffina said McClure sent a text message to another person that reportedly admitted the entire story was made up.

They are all registered Democrats too!
As always, greed trips them up. Now they'll need about $400K to defend themselves in court. They aren't grinning now.
It has been a fact for years before giving handouts of assistance or money you need to do diligence to check things out. This should be done with the homeless and people with their signs and handouts on the streets, with even organizations collecting funds. It is the correct thing to do then that way people really deserving are helped, not the lazy and just people in general that don't want to work, and feel entitled to get all they can just because they can. I have lived her for over 70 years as a church member we gave $ at the door to anyone coming to request assistance. I traveled with a minister taking people to hotels for the night because "they had no where to go". Providing them $ just because they requested it. More often than not we found out they were getting our member lists inside the church to get easy phone numbers and addresses for SOFT contacts. They were given $ for heat, food, a bed, $ for bills with no proof of need. Wake up get facts don't be an easy mark.
