Don't Get Scammed - Blog Posts
How disgusting it is,
to see you exploit the real suffering of people in Gaza,only to scam strangers online.
You thought you could play hero while filling your pockets with lies.You are not saviors.
You are vultures, circling over real pain.Your greed rots louder than any scream from the ruins you dare to use for your selfish games.Shame on you. May your deceit turn to dust in your own hands.
This is 4th time I'm receiving these
If you truly needed help, the last thing you'd be doing is messaging accounts like mine.
Please reblog this, spread this information as far as you can
Don't Fall for this scam.

Please reblog and spread the word
Fell for a fucking discord scam.
Scammer usernames: tenacious_dragon_52369, clairesupportconly07, angelachienofficial0
They hacked my friend's account and made me think that xey had accidentally reported me and had me talk with angelchienofficial0 who attempted to get me to give them my banking info
I'm fucking pissed off at this point.
I'm tired.
HRT feels so fucking far away and the whole conversation with the scammers made me fucking remember the stupid fucking laws of Nebraska since they threatened to report me to the police for the crime of fraud.
If I'm going to go in jail for big girl crimes, LET ME FUCKING START HRT AND ALLOW MYSELF TO BE COMFORTABLE IN A BIG GIRL BODY
Pissed and tired, signing off.
Edit: my bank account details weren't given so hopefully I don't lose money in my account unless they somehow can fucking guess this shit like a pro geoguesser with a blank screen
❗HOW TO SPOT A GOFUNDME SCAM❗
1. Typos in their own name
Etaf (E'taf? Ettaf?)'s campaign is filled with typos, including their own name.
2. Organizer claims to be in a country where GFM campaigns cannot be made
In Hazem's campaign, they claim to be in Gaza with the goal to go to Egypt. You CANNOT create a GoFundMe campaign in Gaza OR Egypt. You can check the list of countries supported on GFM here.
3. Organizer's location doesn't match with the story (or omitted)
Etaf claims to be in Egypt in the story. They're in Spain. When it comes to Hazem's campaign, the location of the organizer is omitted, yet they ask for Euros.
4. Beneficiary isn't mentioned in the story
Etaf's beneficiary isn't mentioned in the story. The family members are Youssef, Moataz, Moatasem, Maria, Adam and Amira.
5. Makes multiple accounts and then deactivates them
Notice how these accounts always have "Name+numbers"
6. Uses AI generated images
The mandible (i.e. lower jawbone) isn't part of the rest of the skull, but rather affixed by cartilage, muscles and ligaments, so would not just be there attached to a dry skeleton. Look at the ribcage and how it goes all the way down to the pelvis... Also the skeleton would NOT be this clean. Notice the lack of clothes as well.
Those images are used to tug at your heartstrings.

7. Incorrect information
As seen in Elham's campaign:

❗Remember, just because they have been "vetted" by @/gazavetters, doesn't make them legit!! The vetters have fallen for fake GFM before.❗

How do I know if this tumblr fundraiser is a scam?
Look at the date the blog was created
Look at their reblogs, most will have happened within one day (usually the day they post their fundraiser), and then never again.
Search their name on tumblr, they would likely have spammed multiple blogs and some blogs tag usernames.
Usually it’s a pet or transgender related surgery fundraiser (or whatever is “trendy at the time” i.e. someone supposedly from Ukraine, someone who was brutalised by cops etc.).
Now this is not to say that these fundraisers aren’t legit, but likely they either aren’t or are taken from legit fundraising sites and reposted without the original person’s knowledge.
They ask for PayPal donations, it’s quick, simple, all it needs is a bank account linked to an email address, and there is no way to check if it’s legit or to see how much has been donated.
These scams have been going on for many years and they raise funds, delete their blog, open a new one, raise funds, and the cycle goes on.
PLEASE DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE REBLOGGING ONE OF THESE SCAM POSTS!
When you keep creating new accounts to get free shit. But instead of harmless free trials you milk people’s bleeding hearts for money.
I noticed these scam accounts are now resorting to tagging random people in the comments.
(Notice here how they are two different accounts with different names and yet have the same profile picture...)
You can prevent that by changing your settings!
