Man using HadIt name to collect funds - Go FundMe shuts down campaign following Raleigh man's arrest for fraud

Rate this question

Question

  • Founder

I was interviewed for  this story. This gentlemen was using the HadIt name to collect funds for some non existent charity. "HadIt.com" is NOT a non-profit. "HadIt.com" will never have anyone collecting outside of Walmarts. If "HadIt.com" does not list a fundraiser on our site it is not affiliated with us. Please read the story and pass on that this person is NOT affiliated with "HadIt.com"

Note: The text at the top of the video lists me as a nonprofit founder. HadIt.com is a for profit, it is not a non profit and this man is not associated with our site and none of the money he collected had anything to do with our site.

Your responses in the article were Great Tbird- this is a Disgrace!!!!!!!

But the bastard  was caught. !!!!!!!

I often wonder if others could take advantage of this site-but didnt see how-- ---  yet he did-----

Greed is a horrible sin.  Everyone should be careful of the Gofundme stuff as many are phony ploys.

Its a disgrace what some people will do for money.

I stopped give hand-outs to Homeless Veterans.

that stand on the street corner with a sign they hold up 

Homeless Veteran need food/money anything.

I use to give these guys 5/10 bucks when I seen them begging for food.

Until the News media did an undercover story on this particular  so called homeless veteran..

at the end of the day he would go home to a nice well built brick home in a respected neighbor hood and clean -him self up shaven and nice close nice car and the news media followed him  he would go to the casinos and stay all night gambling.. (he probably was not a Veteran?)

..I said to my self no more from me .Homeless Veterans are ignorant to the fact they can get help  most buy wine and booze that stand on the street corner  but they don't need to be homeless  they can seek help from the VA Them self ...even may file compensation claims  but they are just to Ignorant to do that.

People that exploit veterans directly or indirectly deserve harsh punishment. 

Theresa - I love what you told the reporter: “Your service to your country shouldn’t be shilled by some carnival barker on the corner.”

Amen.

P.S. I used to do a lot of forensic psych evaluations in North Carolina (criminal cases) so I'm pretty familiar with the judicial system there and how to obtain (publicly-available) information. The perp in this case, Daniel D. James was on the docket for 1 Apr 2019 as the article indicated. For these initial arraignment hearings there usually isn't much info, and that's true for his case. It does list his file number though, which makes it a little easier to research down the road when he finally agrees to a plea bargain (presumably - he'd be stupid to plead his case before a jury). He's charged with a felony, Obtaining Property Under False Pretense, and a misdemeanor, violating a solicitation ordinance. His file number is  19CR 204599. The Public Defender's office is representing him.

Here's a link to the docket printout: DISTRICT Court Calendar: 04/01/19, AM Session in court Room 0301 for DISTRICT_CRIMINAL_COURT_ (PDF) or text version. He is #15 on the docket.

The worst part of this?  People are reluctant to help "real" Veterans with "real" needs, because there are so many fakes and scammers.  Thanks, Tbird for the heads up, most of us know how to donate to Tbird who really has been helping Vets for 20 years.  

Its interesting you dont call yourself a "non profit" even tho me thinks that is pretty much how it is.  I completely undestand why you would not want to go to the trouble and expense of becoming a "non profit".  That would take time and money.  Its better just to pay the tax on it, if there is profit at the end of the year.  

For married Veterans filing jointly, we can earn up to 32,000 per year and still owe no federal income tax.   However, Veterans on TDIU should report "earned" income.  The IRS has specific rules on what is "earned" income and what is "investment" income.  

Fortunately the VA does not insist Vets be penniless in order to get compensation.  Veterans may well have done well in the past and set aside some of that money for retirement, and earn investment income.  Its even ok to take all or part of your VA retro check and invest it, and derive income from that.  As the saying goes, "Its your money..

invest it or squander it on what you want."
