Sounds Like A Cult · The Cult of Charity Scams · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

And then according to the Smithsonian Magazine,

In the late 1800s in America, philanthropy was seen as a way for women to influence public life.

Though the work may look apolitical, it shaped the progress of the country, like charities focused on racial equality and women's rights, et cetera.

Some charities and philanthropic organizations can also deepen inequalities and have scammy premises to begin with.

And charity scams are on the rise.

It's so fucked up.

And you know what?

The GoFundMe thing, it's so sad because what you're describing, like with the whole internet, like once a story goes viral, there is no type of like vetting process with GoFundMe.

Anyone can start a GoFundMe website.

So a lot of the times these stories go viral and you're like, oh my God, I want to give money to this one thing.

And you can be giving your money to any old Tom, Dick and Harry.

It's horrible.

Iman, you got to vet the story.

You never know.

So, so raggedy.

And just like you said, hell, hell, hell, baby, with gasoline draws.

So I think I vaguely remember the first one that you mentioned with the homeless man giving his last $20.

First of all-

What kind of person are you to take $20 from a homeless man to fill up your gas tank?

Absolutely.
