Please believe me this is not a scam, I promise you he really needs to get home ... His name is Martin and he's a close friend of mine and I'm just trying to help him get home.
This is 20000% not a scam at all. Very serious. Our friend group has donated but it won't be enough.
What do you want me to do. What would be satisfactory proof.I promise I will donate if you just prove it first.
Me too, thanks for the words of encouragement.Already in heavily debt meself unfortunately :c
Otherwise I'd spare a few quid.
I really really hope yer friend gets to see his mum before it's to late :c
What do you want me to do.

Thank you, he's really a great guy and I hate knowing he might not get there, hence the link sharing.Fine. I believe you. I will think hardly about donating. Good luck! Hope your friend makes it home.
I was also suspicious, but if you check the user that posted that picture on NeoGAF (looking at the post history and investigating around) you will see that she is a person from Australia that married someone from UK and they are waiting for him to get his citizenship to go back to UK. [1]Huh, seems that the picture they're using on the gofundme page is just a random picture off the internet...

I find this very suspicious.

PS: And not only from Australia, also from Queensland.[1] The GoFundMe campaign is also set in Queensland (QLD).[2]
PS2: What proves nothing, but makes me feel less suspicious as they are many matches.

PS3: Also, considering you perfectly and publicly know who @kongsnutz is (some people are that famous) I suppose you can take his word. He also is (or at least was when he reached fame) from QLD.
PS4: Yeah, I just needed to write down the entire Sony home console family.
