Is Fundable.com a scam?  

Thanks for your reply. obviously I haven't handed over details and I'm not going to. In fact, I don't even use the e-mail address that it was sent to for Paypal at all anyway! It might not be anything to do with the site in question, but I think it's a very strong coincidence that both the reply e-mail and the fake email arrived in my inbox at the same, but only after e-mailing them a question!

It's not a PTC site, it's basically a website where you are supposed to be able to set up a page in order to receive donations/investments towards a project. You can raise something like up to $1000 and then they claim to pay it to your Paypal account, but when I signed up I had a fake Paypal e-mail asking me to confirm my details, which I thought was a coincidence.

Thanks for sharing the information. It really is awful that there are people out there that do things like this. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the internet, there are loads of loopholes that can be exploited such as spoofing email address, IP addresses, etc. They've probably registered under fake details and got their own server hidden away somewhere secret. It's quite daunting that they have paypal integrated on their website, they could be stealing people's passwords!

P.S. - It has now been closer to four month with no word from them on our $500 we raised. My organization has lost donors because of this, and we have been fundraising for years with the same donors. Fundable is responsible for tarnishing the name of my organization AND ripping us off. When I was unable to produce the $500 for the cause at hand, it appeared that I had taken that money or used it for something else. This really put me in a bad place.
I had asked them to send me a check (to avoid Paypal fees) so I wonder if the people who have actually received money have used Paypal transfer? Has anyone reading this actually RECEIVED money and if so, how?Is there a joint lawsuit going on right now that I could join?

There is another service available that do this, although it looks almost identical. However, several reputable organizations have claimed to have used it to receive donations. I think it's called ChipIn - but I wouldn't trust anyone like this until you have solid evidence that they are genuine.
