NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — A Connecticut state representative is warning residents to look out for an online scam that is attempting to profit off a tragic crash that killed five Connecticut children over the weekend.
The scam website looks like a traditional “GoFundMe” page at first sight. State Rep. Mary Welander said to avoid donating to any fund that has “gofundme.agency” in the website address. A legitimate GoFundMe page will end in “.com.”

Rep. Welander said the scam website is also attempting to profit off a fallen police officer in Chicago.
The scam will be reported, according to State Rep. Welander.
