Palestine Scams

Palestine scams

This is heartbreaking for me to post about in a time of such need, but if someone in your inbox asks you for help saying they're Palestinian/have family in Palestine, they're most likely a SCAM.

I know you all want to help, but it's more helpful to do due diligence so your help isn't being wasted on liars.

Something I've seen twice now is a scam where the person COPY PASTES the description from a REAL Palestinian GoFundMe and even uses their photos, but their link is not the GoFundMe and leads to a random PayPal with an unrelated name instead. We don't know if they're associated but they never clarify, so they're more than likely a scam and you should just find the original GoFundMe and donate there instead (unless it has a problem).

I ignore any asks or messages for aid unless I know the person because of how common these scams have become.

So many people are using the genocide in Palestine to steal money. They deserve hell, in no uncertain terms. But you can circumvent them by

1) Not trusting messages or asks sent to you by strangers about donating

2) Google Reverse Image Searching the image they used to see if it belongs to someone else

3) Checking their donate link to see if the names match up the original post
