Sorry, I am afraid I have to say that the case sounds very deceptive.
First of all, we never will be possible to verify if 田牛妈 and all the other readers who have organized the donations is the same person. The same person can register as many different pen-names as possible on the WenXue City. If that’s the case, it is a so called ‘organised crime’.
Secondly, we were told she initially declined the offer of accepting donations. It is a typical example to play on the sympathy of genuine readers. By doing that, it has made warm-hearted people want to help her even more.
Thirdly, the request was first appeared on the forum of 亲亲宝贝. We all know that the baby couldn’t live without the caring and love from his mum.
Last but not least, we were told the time of her trip to China. It means that the deadline is approaching soon. Should you wish to do so, you have to response quickly. That is another classical technique often deployed by swindler. It’s called close-end donation. Once they’ve got money they walk away as quick as possible.

I know it sounds awful. Having said that, I have no objection for anybody who chooses to believe the story to donate at your own wish. I used to work in the National Audit Office, and forensic accounting was my expertise.
