Never been to that site, but after only a brief review the site kind of gives me the creeps.

First I looked at "Popular Now", and alot of the specific campaigns looked somewhat legitimate, then I looked at "Near Me" and after several pages of campaigns noticed:

"85 - 96 of Thousands"

Granted the campaigns appearing seem to be coming primarily from 2 major cities, but "Thousands"? People seem to be really catching on to this "blind trust" and giving internet. Several were just outrageous, for example asking for $25k, and in return providing only a fuzzy portrait photo, and 1 small paragraph explanation.

Maybe it's just me, but IMO people asking for $25k for FREE should put a little more effort into the campaign info page.
