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!

i don't think you read my last message

Oops, sorry man! I was just trying to help people. I was also kind of busy. So, I didn't read it right, sorry.

Nope sure didn't I also won't pay for them either!

❗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:

Wikipedia:

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

Here's a link to OFFICIAL organizations! Donate there instead!

Look familiar?

Bots and scammers comb through popular tags on Tumblr and mass-send asks with gofundmes or PayPal links.

These blogs often only have three posts to them, or have only ever reblogged content from blogs that have very similar names.

Praying on your empathy, they give a massive schpiel about who they are, how they're impacted, and how they desperately need your money or for you to reblog so others send them money to "help" them.

The money goes to scam artists anywhere but Gaza.

There is very few people actually "vetting" these blogs. There is no official vetting process. Do not trust Tumblr blogs or Google documents claiming to vet these posts.

If you want to help people in Gaza, please head to places like World Central Kitchen. This is an organisation that's actually helping people in Gaza by providing food and water with their Chefs for Gaza initiative.

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!

ALLISON THE DOG SCAM!!!!!!

There’s a scam going around at the moment about accounts dm-ing people wanting them to draw/paint their pets, selfies and more. A specific one is accounts asking for their dog “Allison” to be drawn. This is a SCAM!

This is “Allison.”

Luckily I never gave out my info or anything, so have my version of “Allison” anyway :3

Man I hate scams and bots. I know all I can do is block, delete, and/or report, but I have to admit sometimes they’re so painfully obvious it’s funny.

Like I had an ask show up in my inbox once that was just the generic “please click this link and donate to this cause to save my [insert relation here]!” that has random and inconsistent bolding and emphasizing of words, to the point where it’s also bolding half of a word. Another thing too is that these usually try to appeal to a specific type of person. The one I’ve mentioned literally started off by saying “Hi Lesbians” exactly like that. Like what part of my blog makes you think I’m a lesbian and that I won’t immediately clock this as a scam??

It caught me so off guard that I couldn’t help but laugh at this frankly idiotic attempt at scamming me out of some money. I mean, in all fairness, these kinds of things are being spammed literally everywhere so there’s all sorts of people getting these so it makes sense to have a general greeting. But lesbians is just so specific and I just wasn’t expecting to be greeted like that at all, much less in a scam attempt.

I got a good laugh out of it all and that’s the most value that scammer ever had. But I can’t believe scammers get people to fall for this crap. Please stay safe out there folks and don’t let people take you for ANY of your information or money. Like I said at the beginning: block, report, and/or delete. Have a great end of the year
