Happy B-day :3

adhd moment

Hello sorry for tagging. I am very sick, my asthma is at its maximum level, my nose freezes, I have no medicine or food. I am in bad shape financially, I am a black disabled, who uses multiple medications, I pay for my food and lodging

Unfortunately I do not have all the resources to keep me safe, that is why I need your help, whatever you can contribute to me will be of great help.

Okay kids, are you ready for a lesson in SPOTTING ONLINE SCAMS????

*please don't message this person or harass them-- i do recommend that you report and block them, however.

right now it's incredibly important to give time, attention, and money to online fundraisers. but it's also incredibly important not to let scammers take advantage of that and steal money that could actually save lives right now.

firstly-- if we go to this person's blog, and navigate to "archive--"

this person's blog has only existed for a few days, only has a handful of generic posts (many reblogged multiple times,) and made their first reblog the same day that they posted their "fundraiser" post. this is a MASSIVE red flag.

please also note that neither their ask nor post actually mention palestine or gaza at all, but it's still tagged with "free palestine" and "gaza."

though this one should obviously be taken with a grain of salt, it is also worth noting the poor grammar here, because this can be (but isn't always!!!) another red flag. Note also that all the details are really vague and don't quite make sense... user describes "enduring cold" and their "nose freezing" though it's the middle of the summer. This user says that they're "sick," but doesn't really offer any further details about this. This user says that they need money for "resources," but don't elaborate on what exactly they need. They vaguely elude to a need for lodging, caretakers, and medicine, but don't actually give us any details-- despite this they have a "$1200" goal. What is this specific goal of $1200 for? Is that the cost of their medication? Overdue medical bills? Cost for rent this month?... They also apologize in their ask for "tagging" me... but they didn't tag me. They sent me an ask.

Another red flag is that their link labeled "Fundraiser link" leads directly to a Paypal donation page rather than a gofundme or anything else. If someone chooses to collect aid through paypal, venmo, etc. instead of through a gofundme, that's not a huge issue in and of itself... but it is fishy that it's mislabeled like this.

And if we GOOGLE this user's tumblr name or paypal name, we can find results like this:

This also led me to find them on @/kyra45's blog on their list of current scam accounts.

Despite all this, they have close to 100 reblogs from well-meaning people trying to signal boost and ask for donations on their behalf.

With the current situation in Palestine and the amount of actual, legitimate fundraisers and donations being circulated right now, for Palestine, Sudan, the Congo, or otherwise, it is more important than ever to be aware of people who are trying to take advantage of the situation for their own personal gain. Whenever possible, please take the time to do some due diligence when you receive messages like this and check to see if a fundraiser is legitimate! It always sucks for someone to be the victim of a scam and lose money to someone playing pretend on the internet... but it sucks even more when that money could have gone to people in actual, acute, dire need.

Here's some more information about spotting scams on tumblr! Shoutout to tumblr user kyra45 for compiling this, and for all the other hard work they do-- thanks.

Here's an actual, vetted, and legitimate campaign that could use your support. After receiving this ask, I went and donated. If you have the means to do so, it would be amazing if you did so, too.

Um...That's just the number of half of the work there are even folders in there.There are really 28 layers haha or more, some layers I putting it together so..yeah almost 40 was in the beginning

And yeah I'm ok haha 🔥 👍 / silly

Ok so..I am going through something almost stressful, they are almost going to give grades and also our performances in the areas, while take this wip, I'm more close to finishing page 8 too

We're going to have 100 Layers and app lag with this 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥 (seriously the are soo many layers than ibis can't almost take it sometimes)

Scams on Tumblr, what to watch out for.

Just a PSA. If you have someone going in your inbox asking for money, it's 99.9% a scam (yes I mean the ones claiming to be families in Gaza needing funds to escape). Do NOT answer those asks or give them money, don't expose them to more people who'd fall for it as well, don't do a THING with it.

Paypal does NOT provide service to Palestinians, there's been a campaign for it to be provided for Palestinians since OCTOBER. If someone in your inbox is asking you for money at all much less linking to a PAYPAL. It's a scam. Don't give it the time of day. I've gotten asks upon ASKS of nothing but people giving these stories and linking donation sites, a LOT of it being the same exact message like 5 times.

Examples of what to look out for :

Not every Palestinian is scamming when they ask for help. But a lot of stupid people will use your empathy for their personal profit and there's a good chance the things they're using aren't their own photos or stories, please do not fall for this. If you'd like to help please check verified accounts and donation sites, I really suggest checking the ones listed here. These people are quite literally stealing the IDENTITIES of actual Palestinian families to swindle money out of you.

I'm so tired of the scummy people on here using such a horrific and insane situation for their own monetary gain, it is the SICKEST thing someone can do. This needs to be called out more.

And I know some people will go limb for limb defending these bots and I understand since the circumstances are heartbreaking. But this is quite literally extortion. You are being extorted if you fall for this without verifying if it's real. And it's.. more often than not, not real.

He's got hair! (I love this hair style)
