eeyore-pg is a scam account

Update 2/13/2023 - The scam account is finally down and removed! I’ll still leave this alert up though as a reminder to anyone who sees the scam post floating around. Below is the original warning contents.

Hi! You may have received this ask from an account called eeyore-pg:

“Hi there, im really sorry for this cause I know its kinda inappropriate to ask for a favor at a time like this, but I just wanted to try and ask if you could possibly share or boost the post I pinned for my cat Eeyore since we're in desperate need of help right now. I hope youd consider, if not I understand and pls dont worry. Be safe always! Pls do send me a msg or answer this ask privately if possible <33”

This is actually a scam ask. This ask has been specifically catered to sound very urgent, but also asks you to answer privately even though the post is very public. It is well known asks like this want to be hidden so searches wouldn’t find them but they get spammed so much that asking to answer privately is kinda pointless. In fact, this ask is about a cat called Eeyore.

While Eeyore is a real cat, he is not owned by the supposed Pamela Galvan. In fact, their email, pictured below from their public post, is not the email run by the real owner. I’m posting this because it is not private info; It is seen in a post accessible to anyone who looks.

You may ask yourself who the real owner is. Well, good news! They do have a tumblr account now and even have their own post explaining that this account I speak of here is not theirs and has stolen their post from Facebook. Below is the owners post with their own photo of Eeyore that the scammer likely will save and use to prove they own him. The owner is more used to Facebook, so sorry for the kinda bland blog appearance. They were in a hurry.

I am the real owner of Eeyore. I started a crowdfunding fundraiser for support for my cat's major dental exam to determine if he had cancer

So please, do not share eeyore-pg’s post unless you are warning people it’s a scammer. I know the account linked above is run by the owner; I have contacted them by Facebook DM’s and confirmed they run the linked account and not eeyore-pg. If the real owner makes a fundraiser off Facebook, I will be sure to link it in the future.

Please share this post to bring awareness of the scammer and share it to anyone who has shared the scam post.

I am the real owner of Eeyore. I started a crowdfunding fundraiser for support for my cat's major dental exam to determine if he had cancer or not and Eeyore-pg stole my post and reposted it on Tumblr using their paypal account instead of mine. I have reported their post to Tumblr - please don't donate to this person! They are scammers.

My original post is on Facebook in a group called Vet Corner Angels: Emergency Funding - search for the name Eeyore and you will see it in case anyone needs verification.
