would you mind deleting their scam from your blog, or clearly labeling it as a scam so it doesn't spread to others? in the future, please remember you can use the tumblr search box to search the username/paypal account name/text used by people asking for money to check if they’ve been proven to be a scammer
Thank you 💛.
Hello.
For the past few days, I've beens sharing and rebloging palestinian posts and accounts in need of funding as a way to help palestinians due to me being too young to donate.
Today, I got a request from an account called joyfulpostnight. Thinking it was a palestinian account, I answered and rebloged their post like I usually do.
A few minutes later, @anonthescambuster texted me and told me it was a scam account. I went to check and it turned to be true.
Some scumbags are actually disguise their accounts as palestinians in need of funding.
Here's a link for some tips to avoid these scams:
Please stay safe out there💛.

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.
