When Debbie Crankin told her heart breaking story back in mid 2021, her TikTok audience poured their hearts out both emotionally and financially. Deborah Crankin would raise more than $350,000 US Dollars through GoFundMe after running the narrative that she was a "struggling black transgender woman". However, when the whole thing was exposed as fake, Debbie's world came crumbling down. This video will tell that story.

This is, The TikToker Who Scammed $358,000 With A Surgery Fundraiser.

When I was a teenager, My mom and I were homeless and couch surfing. We started up a gofundme, and got a grand total of $0. It’s sad how people will start social media platforms to scam money from people, while people who actually struggle get nothing

[DavidKen]

This is why people need to stop blindly donating to every GoFundMe set up by a person with a sad story.

[ashanbala]

The fact that she wasn't even appreciative of the anonymous people giving thousands of dollars (just under the amount the average American makes per month) and guilt trips them into donating more, even when she has multiple go-fund-me’s is just horrible.

I know you probably won't see this, but they're back at it again and this time they're using cats with cancer to get donations. There must be at least 10+ "Save (cat name) from Cancer" etc. One petition has over 40k, others over 10k. I even got caught up in it myself and donated but luckily nowhere near as much as others who I have seen donating at least 100 a time.

I’ve seen small streamers on Twitch almost break down in tears over a $50 dollar donation, and a lot of people who only get 5-10 viewers per stream will explode with joy over a $5 dollar donation. How ungrateful do you have to be to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars and complain about your lack of support?

[TrashComments]

The fact that she not just scammed, but became disrespectful and rude to the people that were trying to help her is absolutely disgusting. Imagine having a whole community try to help you with your struggles just for you to turn your back on them, take their money, run away with it and pretend you’re victim…..

[missabbyaddy]

this is disgusting. even if it wasn't a scam, raising over 350, 000 dollars and being so ungrateful is just gross (if ur already a transphobe im not gonna change ur mind but pls don't bring ur opinions here like anyone is gonna care)

[grey-ipsq]

hey sunny, just letting you know that she has actually made several new scams that she is actively making tens of thousands of dollars from each. shes using each one to say that all these different cats have cancer and need a ton of money. the main one is macalauy the cat

[cannedsaladsoup]

i feel awful for the one creator who was literally giving all the money she made from tiktok just to be guilt-tripped, berated, and called problematic by the person she was giving money to. disgusting.

Edit: Hey guys, i get it she was problematic too. I didn't need 90+ replies telling me that :') I still think it's fucked up that the person receiving the donations didn't have an ounce of gratitude

[marinaSassygUrl]

The entitlement is ridiculous. Honestly how can people be that confident… I can’t even ask for $1 dollar without feeling embarrassed and asking for too much. Her starting goal was TOO ridiculously much to begin with. But even after people helping her…. She’s still entitled. Omg. She legit is a terrible person.

I once donated to a gofundme, it was only $5, but the lady emailed me and said it meant the world to her. This idjit got $1k+ donations and it wasn't enough. Some people.

[VundaVermillion]

Please make an update on this video with all of her new scams. She cannot keep getting away with this :/

[SuperKittyPogoDance]

She's actually transitioning from "poor person" to "rich person." We just mistakenly thought it was a gender transition she was referring to. It's our fault, everyone. Let's go support her!

[cloudlessthoughts]

please make a video on the cat accounts!! she’s getting even more money by claiming that her cats have cancer. it’s disgusting.

[debamchakraborty]

To the people who give money to these online funds, the fact that you are willing to help people unrelated to you shows your good-will. But please do so with precautions and only fund to trusted sources since most of these fund-raisers are usually scams.

[Meocross]

The sad part is, if this scammer had been nice, she would have probably reached her goal without the internet investigation that followed.

[bigchefdog]

It’ll never be enough, even if she reached her goal she’d just ask for more, actually sickening.

[venlaviljainen]

They have a new cat scam!! Asking for donations in the name of her sick cats who have cancer. It’s sickening. Abusing people who have a good heart and feel sorry for her animals. Her new account is Macaulay the Cat

[sizzle]

A man died because he didn't get enough donations to buy insulin for his diabetes. What a world that we live in.

Edit: This is in america

[alessandrajackson]

The saddest part about this is the majority of donators aren’t full grown adults with mortgages, car payments and careers. They are kids - young 20s year olds who just have a lot of empathy and love. And this lady fully took advantage of them
