I told one of my friends about this thing I thought I should do. Collecting supplies for the orphanage.... He thought it is a scam. It might be. There are two facebook accounts for Robin Williams on facebook. So I'm thinking the one I was contacted from was probably the fake one. I am disappointed because I wanted to do something important to help those kids. I'm pretty sure that it is a scam and that I've been sucked into it. Which makes me kinda mad.
I found some contact info online: I plan to let them know what is going on. Not like the fakes can be charged with fraud since they are in another country, but at least they can get their fake account deleted. Other people should be notified as well so that they don't get caught up in some scam... I wanted to believe it was all for real, but I guess it is hard to believe anything anymore. Especially on the internet. People pretend to be whoever and whatever they want. It's sad that they are using Robin Williams' good name to elicit money from people.
I still don't know if this is indeed a scam, but there are some things that are not adding up.
Somebody's publicist is getting a call on Monday....
