Its just that this kind of this sparks a new way of scamming. I mean any shop can now fake a story on a forum about a big scam and people will be willing to donate. I just think after this whole thing is over. Shops should be more responsible to let anything like this happen ever again.
I hear you. It's a little bit different in my opinion because the OP didn't want the donations to begin with. He came out and basically told everyone look this is what happened and hope it doesn't happen to anyone else. He then went to find out what he could do and whatnot. I've read all 100+ pages and the message is pretty loud and clear the OP did not want the donations. The online community wants this kid to be Owned so that's what we are donating for.
After this is all over and done with. Google will most likely link back here any time some one enters "scam" into the search field.
I do understand how you drew your conclusion and can respect that. Now if the OP doesn't learn from this mistake after all is said and done that is a diffrent story....
