Insulin Scam - Blog Posts

5 months ago

Hello! hope you are doing well, plz I'm asking for your help. I need $340 for an insulin pump. I have been unable to work full time, and need to get it as soon as possible in hopes of helping my diabetic problems. Any help would mean so much! if you donate or Reblogging my pinned post.🙏

Hi! So… this is a scam!

This person has made many scam accounts already, so please guys be careful with who you donate to! Always check for vetted accounts(in the case of Palestine accounts) and the #scam warning tag, thankfully, I saw that tag because of my curiosity before getting this ask and avoided this scam!

Thanks to every person posting there for taking the time to check these accounts!

Hi, you reblogged a scam from friedgardenlady, who is promoting a donation scam. They have had this scam running for a very long time, as they have used many default tumblr usernames while using the same stolen photo and name "Edina/Edinah." Their first name spelling hasn't even been consistent, as the header says "Edinah" meanwhile they were previously linking to a PayPal belonging to "Edina Sirikale." (Here's the post link https://www.tumblr.com/gaygirldoodles/758467054598832128/hi-im-still-having-high-blood-pressure-and?source=share) This PayPal has been associated with the trail of donation scams the person has been pulling, so they changed the PayPal to "Annah Musa." (List of "Edina's" various scam accounts: https://www.tumblr.com/jadelemonadee/755663533049561088/gloriousdestinycollectoredina-sirikale-is-running?source=share) Note: both surnames Sirikale and Musa are from east and west Africa respectively, not associated with the "mixed indigenous latine" heritage they claim to have.

It has been going on for months, meaning that their story of constantly needing "just $450" for insulin and always being "last to my pen" is dishonest. Since they apparently live in the U.S., they should know by now that the price of insulin was capped at $35/pen, meaning that even if they were unable to buy a single unit, a full box of pens (3) would cost $105 plus tax.

Please, before interacting with a donation request, check their blog. Do searches of the text username through the tumblr search engine or reverse image search their photos, as some users have compiled scam lists. (e.g. kyra45, anonthescambuster, azalea-alter) Many donation requests are honest, but there are plenty of repeat scammers who are taking advantage of people's sympathy and generosity.

If you are interested in supporting a family whose fundraiser has been through a vetting process and is in danger of being killed in Gaza, please replace your post from friedgardenlady with a post supporting @/nesmamomen. If you have any questions about how to determine the legitimacy of a donation ask, feel free to contact me through DMs or askbox.

Thank you for telling me
