Most of our readers will be aware that for the past four months, Angela Fag-Ash Disney has had a GoFundMe page, in which she begs for people to support her in her dream of becoming a journalist. (Dream on, say we.)
Apparently Angie thinks a cool million euros will do the trick. Until yesterday, she’d acquired a grand total of €33 from four overly generous donors; but yesterday a very, very kind benefactor popped €10,000 into the pot!
Wow! Now that looks much more like it, don’t you think?
It would be very impressive, if it were true.
The sad reality is that Angie is simply resorting to one of the oldest tricks in the scammer’s book: salting the collection plate. This trick is commonly employed by pianists, bartenders, waiters, even the homeless begging on the street: when people see that others have already contributed to the pot, they assume this is the appropriate and acceptable thing to do.
Angie is relying on the concept of social validation to convince visitors to her GoFundMe page that they should, well, fund her. People are much more likely to donate larger sums when they think that’s what everyone else is doing…and Angie would desperately like to convince people that it is.
But where did she get the money?
Wasn’t Angie complaining just a short while ago that she was broke? How could she possibly donate such a large figure to her own GoFundMe page?
Well, just the other day, in one of her Skype chats with Q*Bert, she mentioned having come into a largish sum from her deceased sister’s estate: the figure she mentioned was £20,000.
And then, surprise, surprise! Suddenly a €10,000 donation pops up in the page the Hoaxtead pushers set up to bring Q*Bert to London (more on this to come…).
And within hours, Angie’s own page was suddenly looking a lot more flush.
But couldn’t she do better by investing the €10,000?
Of course she could. And according to GoFundMe’s own rules, they’ll automatically take a small percentage of the money she earns as a fee for their service. So really, it’s a foolish financial move. But no one has ever accused Angela of being the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Unless…she’s betting that using that over-inflated donation number will encourage enough dupes…er, donors to give generously, that she’ll make it up in the volume. It’s a risk, of course; what if people see through her ruse and elect not to give at all?
But that’s not likely to happen. Angie’s friends have shown in the past that they can be relied on to cough up the cash when asked. After all, she was able to scrounge up enough money to send her son for his eye surgery while she used the remainder for a jaunt to Lanzarote last September.
Is it legal to trick people into donating more?
We don’t know how GoFundMe views this sort of behaviour. That’s why one of our team has already written to them to ask whether self-donation is allowed by their terms of service.
And in the same spirit, JW, one of our regular commentators, writes the following:
It’s nice to be helpful to people, so (in view of Angie’s seemingly poor skills in keeping financial records) I have emailed the Revenue in Ireland with a copy of the screenshot of her gofundme project in order to help Angie be law abiding and pay tax on her income from her self-funding venture.
No need to thank me Angie, I am certain a number of other people would have done exactly the same for you – Oh, I forgot, she does not look at this site….
That’s Hoaxtead Research for you—we’re just full to the brim with the milk of human kindness.

Yes-she’s the gift that keeps on giving indeed ! Could that large donation be just a BIT more painfully transparent, yathink? And I know it may be a low blow to speculate on any potential psych diagnosis (although she wears her DID /PTSD badges with incessant pride), might she be somewhere on the autism spectrum? Mild Asperger Syndrome, perhaps? I only wonder as anybody with typical social skills/savvy would avoid publicly ‘disclosing’* a recent windfall a mere 2 days before (most likely) depositing half of it into one’s very own GoFundMe campaign ! A real enigma, that one…
Big kudos to JW, btw!

Sadly for Angie her ‘new way’ of journalism, a subscribed newsletter has been around for 200 years or so. What she is really asking for is free money so she can continue a campaign of endless defamation & false accusations against innocent people (and one particular father who she accuses of despicable crimes).
As for her anathema to advertising and attempting to weave her ‘Christian’ values into that, she seems oblivious to the fact that the venues she now uses, Youtube, Facebook & Google can only provide their free platforms by accepting advertising. And it could be argued that these platforms are (inevitably) destroying print publishing and 10,000s of jobs in the advertising industry.

A good example of “Christian” values is the case of Norman Gidney in the UK. At face value Norman Gidney was a prominent and very active Christian, yet now there are numerous people left in poverty in their retirement when the pension fund they thought would provide them a pension disappeared.

All figures are given in Euros.
The total amount donated by her to the school / orphanage between November 2011 (when she made her first donation), and today is 8175
Bank charges for the transfers and currency conversion, have not been deducted in the figures above, so the actual amount they received is less than above.
Now Angie claimed to have collected 10884 upto 1st July 2014, (in her facebook post of 1st July 2014).
The orphanage / school received a total of 7030 by that date. So that gives an evidenced shortfall from what Angie stated had been collected as of that date – of 990 plus the questionable expenses of 1775.

The key thing for me is your last paragraph. It seems funds have gone to Kenya, but not as much as she was claiming by the relevant dates. It seems very odd that she gives in dribs and drabs like that, presumably incurring some sort of charges at one end or the other with each transaction, rather than in a lump sum. Usually, when I have been involved with this sort of thing, people raise a large sum than send it all at once.

– And you do THAT to minimise the administration costs and aid transparency.

She can’t use charges as an excuse, as she herself categorically stated that for the purposes of her Kenya fundraising, she’d been given a free bank account with no charges.

The admission is her downfall. The burden of proof in a Criminal Court would be upon her to disprove the amount that she claimed in a public announcement.
It would seem that she faces an uphill battle to disprove that claim. Perhaps an “accountancy error” but an error none the less and an error that casts doubt on the credibility of any claims by her to have collected a lesser amount.
Then throw the issue of “bank charges” into the cooking pot (for fraud) and its not looking good for Angie

When I first read a comment suggesting Angie placed her own money into the fund, I felt the very slightest bit sorry for her, as I perceived it as a desperate and pathetic thing to do. I didn’t really think about it as a way to entice others to donate, but you are absolutely correct, it is another scam tactic. Sadly, she may even be using money her sister worked hard for, wasting it on herself and bringing Rupert to the UK.
The fact that more than one person warned the man she was dating about lending Angie money, speaks volumes. Especially as one of those people supposedly knocked on the mans door to tell him, rather than a passing comment in the street or pub. People tend not to go to that extent without good reason.
The worrying line is….”thought i’d gossiped our personal…” and then she doesn’t finish that sentence. That suggests there was some sort of financial hand over and the new partner thought Angie had told people about it.
