Hi Mike!
Thanks for that offer, but I don't use paypal =/

I believe you can actually just use your ATM card to donate

Hey Matt,

Who else do you know on this forum? Any news/links of this horrible assault/conviction?

There are a million scams on gofundme.... just trying to be sure the story is legit.

I agree with fear.

This sounds like it could be a scam to me. I'm not buying the "CO exposure caused mom/daughter to lose their home" story.

Unfortunately, Matt, you (or others) will need to come up with something more substantial for us to go on before I can put this go fund me campaign in the legit column.

The facebook pages for Pamela and her mom look completely fabricated fairly recently. Scroll back in time a bit... there's nothing that makes any sense for either of them.

Again... just trying to be sure Matt... offer up some proof.

Right, but there's zero history on the two prior to that event that appear in "normal" facebook users accounts. A few postings here and there but nothing else....

Just stinks like some relatively elaborate scam.

We'll wait for matt... :)

I suddenly realize Mattclimbsrocks has a 5 post history... all for this thread. Doesn't look too good.

No... no it does not.

Check out "Pam Tennis" on Spacebook.... same 2014 picture jacked for this supposed "Pamela Tennis" from 2012. Very odd.

Hi again,
I don't fault anyone for wondering if it's legit.

As I said initially, I used to post under just "Matt", years ago, and way way way too often =)
I no longer use that email and I don't remember the login for ST so I had to start a new profile.

I really don't even know who posts here anymore, but I was in the Bay Area until 2013. You wanna know who I know? Well, I know the guy whose site this is...

Here is a picture of me on Thank God Ledge (also a long time ago)
http://www.supertopo.com/rock-climbing/route_photo.php?r=ybharegu&dpid=Pj07ODs7ISUl

As for the FB pages of the principals, I didn't look, I know the brother of the father, he works for a bank in NC and he performed my wedding in 2005. It's not fake.

My read of the GoFundMe page was that the guy is being prosecuted, not that he's been convicted.

Tell me what you'd consider adequate evidence that it's legit and I'll see if I can produce it.

Send me an email and I'll easily show you that I am.

Best,
-Matt

Oh come on. Matt was on ST for a long time (years). He's a real guy living here in Boulder raising his daughter. Say what you want, but he's solid, he's real, and he's no scammer. JFC.

I know very few people from ST in real life. Callie happens to be one of them. If Callie vouches for Matt, and Matt says someone needs help, I'm in.

Crimp and I just messaged on FB about my kid and her work. I've got plenty of friends here and a long and sordid history with the stupidtopo forum! Haha you guys are funny, but see my post above.

Also, GoFundMe has donor protections against scams, one reason its a successful platform!
https://gofundme.com/guarantee

edit-
Come on folks, I posted my first and last name, and mattclimbsrocks is both my email address and my FB name.

It's not a scam.
Email me- but if I take the time to convince you, then you have to donate at least $10, deal???




*Lastly*
Please do not offend me by insulting this victim of abuse or her family, they have enough to deal with as it is. More importantly, that kind of behavior really says nothing at all about them, but says volumes about anyone doing the insulting.

No problem at all, I'd just rather you guys stopped mucking up this thread. Maybe delete these and email Crimp? I just emailed you.

Also, Crimp knew before posting anything that it was me posting, because we are FB friends and this GFM page is on top of my FB (duh)

Further- hey Locker, Nature is a friend here in Boulder, he'll vouch, and he shared the same GFM page, at my request.
