This has probably been done, I know there was a long running thread about this very subject but I can't find it?
So, several months on I see Dax's parents have still not made the promised donation to Ronald McDonald hospice. On March 2nd they updated the Facebook page to say they works be making the donation 'very soon', but still nothing.
Am I the only one thinking they have no intention of donating any money out of the tens of thousands donated to them? That in fact they intend to keep it all and deny the very charity that provided them with so much support in the early weeks of their Childs life?
In fact, I don't think im the only one judging by the comments on the Facebook page.
I think they're hoping it will blow over and if they keep quiet long enough people will forget.

Auntbessie did you join MN just to post on this thread or are u a NC?

Curious to know.

fluffymouse · 07/04/2015 23:06

Tricky dicky is that you?

If so can you clarify how much will be donated to RMH?

TheFairyCaravan · 07/04/2015 23:09

What are the "lots of things" we are wrong on, Auntbessie?

Auntbessie1 · 07/04/2015 23:12

Yes I just joined to comment, but I see TD has his own way to comment.

Lyinginwait888 · 07/04/2015 23:14

Hmm none of this has ever sounded right. What also doesn't sit right is the amount of deletions on the fb page. To the point some comments don't make sense.

Not sure if the family/Tricky are concerned about screenshots?

Judge Judy also says
If something doesn't make sense then it's usually not true

And this pile of shite sure does not make sense. God I hate smug scammers.

How did you know this thread was here Aunbessie1?

Auntbessie1 · 07/04/2015 23:26

Word gets around a small town. I know TD, Lee and Katie........which is more than I can say for any of you!

washerwoman2 · 07/04/2015 23:29

So when are they going to make the donation to RMH?

TheFairyCaravan · 07/04/2015 23:30

Word gets around a small town

So this thread is the topicof converstaion in Skeggy, is it? Hmm

Auntbessie1 · 07/04/2015 23:31

I don't know! Nor do I care and yes I donated. I'm not rude enough to ask. When did you donate washerwoman? I guess you didn't which gives you no claim to ask.

Interesting things, dictionaries.

Lyinginwait888 · 07/04/2015 23:38

That's like saying people who dont use Nescafé/Starbucks etc shouldn't have an opinion on their ethics/tax dodging practices.

Or any current affairs/news story actually.

We're discussing a very real situation where money seems to be obtained by deception.

Lyinginwait888 · 07/04/2015 23:40

It's like flapping about speed cameras. Don't speed and you won't get caught.

Donate money, stop stalling and there's no call to be answered.

YY sovereign. The truth actually is unlikely to be worse than the speculation.

wannabestressfree · 07/04/2015 23:46

I will be contacting the papers that backed this story to chase the 'donation' looks like shaming them is the only way truly needy children will get help.......

kinkyfuckery · 07/04/2015 23:48

No one has asked for a refund really? Funny as I could have sworn I asked for my money refunded and was blocked and deleted from the page? No? Bet there's been plenty more people like me too!

ScamBuster1 · 07/04/2015 23:49

The original fundraiser page, and the revised one, the wording which took over 24 hours to update after Allianz confirmed that all bills would be covered. The original plea was for medical bills, which was premature, and the reasons just kept on changing as time went on. But there in black and white is the commitment to donate to RonaldMcDonald

ScamBuster1 · 07/04/2015 23:57

And a tweet stating that they would continue taking donations with any excess going to RonaldMcDonald.

Liking your work, ScamBuster1 !

wannabestressfree · 08/04/2015 00:01

Hurrah for scambuster

fluffymouse · 08/04/2015 00:13

Well done scambuster

Have you forwarded those screenshots to the police? It certainly seems like a criminal matter if they have promised to donate to RMH and havent.

MyArksNotReady · 08/04/2015 00:26

Nice work scambuster.

scumbuster2 · 08/04/2015 00:41

After the naming and shaming incident people were to frightened to ask for money back for fear of getting the same treatment or being called ridiculous names the rascism was unbearable to see. Lies after lies were told. The only people that are being honest are the ones who are questioning this whole scam.
