Good luck.

There’s never a way to be 100% sure, but I’m going to throw in my two cents that this smells very much like a scam to me.

The predominant evidence is:

- a relatively new blog; this one seems to have done a slightly better job at covering its tracks, a lot of scam blogs don’t even bother staying up for more than a few hours before they start begging, whereas this one’s earliest post is February 6th

- among the blog is no indication of any personal information right up until the asking for money begins; personally i am all in favor of owing people on the internet no information about yourself, but having a completely impersonal account right up until you make a post begging for money and then proceeding to dump out a lot of personal information at once is a pattern common among scam blogs; they’re willing to put in effort to make the blog look populated, i.e. reblogging things to show that there’s activity, but not enough to spend time crafting an actual human identity because why would you when things could fall apart at any moment and you’d just have to start over? It’s not cost-efficient.

- sending random asks to strangers asking them to reblog a pinned post begging for money. This happens with real fundraisers too, but those are also often perpetuated by the individual’s friends and the like, as they have an actual human presence to reach out to. Scam blogs, meanwhile, are completely impersonal and have no options beyond hoping they can get complete strangers to believe them, and so this is their only method of gathering attention.

- a sad story made to play on the asker being a vulnerable individual in need of your money NOW, there’s no time to wait, no time to stop and think about if it’s real, you have to act NOW NOW NOW GIVE GIVE GIVE; these stories also tend to play on common hurts/fears among the communities they’re imitating, a cruel stepfather with no mention of anyone else besides the older sister; where is the rest of the family? Are there no friends who could lend help? Why is the first go-to asking strangers on tumblr for money?

- a lack of a continuing story; many scam blogs make the one post and then spam asks to people, with no further information or updates ever being given, whereas the majority of real fundraisers i’ve seen are constantly providing updates on the situation and showing a continually progressing situation more reflective of the real world, scams often just put up the initial heartstring puller and then say nothing else, there’s no storyline because there’s no actual story

Now, none of these things mean that the individual is NECESSARILY a scammer, there’s always the possibility of them being genuine! We’re all strangers on the internet and there’s never a 100% way to be sure unless you literally know the person in the real world, but I’ve gotten plenty of scams in my inbox before and gone deepdiving into their blogs to search for evidence of realism and tracked down every individual in the to alert them notes when I could find none. I notice these patterns now and all I can say is that this looks like a classic scam blog to me, it ticks just about every box on the checklist, the only exceptions being that they put in the effort to start populating the blog a few weeks back (though there is still only a few scrolls worth of posts present) rather than a few hours as most do, and the absolute balls to go for a major blog instead of preying almost exclusively on small and unknown blogs, counting on them not having the network to catch on before it’s too late.

We can’t know for sure, and if you’re genuine then I’m so sorry for everything you’re going through sweetheart, but I personally doubt it is as you look like a scammer through and through.

Which all went through my head.

I would say to anyone who might be asking for help, the more evidence that you are a real person the better.

i didn’t realize this was going to be something i had to address but .. here we go i guess

one of my moots showed me this post . i completely understand where these concerns are coming from , as they do bring up some valid points and i’ve seen scammers on here before , but it is absolutely not true and it’s extremely hurtful that i’m being accused of this when i’m genuinely just asking for help . it feels like a lot of reaching and assuming when there's information on my blog and in the post that refutes a lot of the points made .

my blog is fairly new , as stated in my introduction post , i just remade it at the beginning of last month . my ex was sending her friends after me and was having them stalk my blog , which was making me extremely paranoid and uncomfortable . so i decided to start fresh . i honestly wouldn’t have put as much personal information into the donation post if i didn’t think it was relevant , because it’s risky enough to even put myself out there . i don’t want them to find me and i don’t want to have to remake again , especially now that i’ve been accused of something like this . that would end up making me look one hundred times worse .

i didn’t think i was being pushy or indicating a sense of major urgency . i have a roof over my head , and bless her heart , my sister would give me the clothes off her back if she had to . i’m reaching out for help because i don’t want to be a burden , neither of us were expecting me to be crashing on her couch for the next three months . i just needed some extra help with affording food so she wouldn’t have to take money from her own pocket to feed me . i also needed help affording sanitary pads and my medication . and this is all temporary because after i graduate , i’ll be moving to live with my partner and things will be a lot more stable .

i mentioned my entire family in the post .. my biological father passed away when i was a kid , and it’s just been me , my step-father , and my mom ever since my older sister moved out . we live across the country from any extended family . i don’t have many friends IRL , and we’re all still in high school anyways , so i can’t exactly ask them for much help either .

i’m not sure how much more updated they want my post to be , i was literally just kicked out yesterday morning . i updated yesterday when i received some help . i’m still extremely distraught and i feel so betrayed by my mom , i’m just trying to process my emotions and now i also have to deal with all of this . i didn’t have anywhere else to turn so i made a post . i’m just trying to survive this .

i’ve also seen the comments on this post - i type like this because i like how it looks . it’s that simple . and i definitely have posted bjd content , but i like more than just dolls . in my introduction post , i mention several other things that i enjoy that i post frequently . at this point , it feels like cherry picking .. like you guys want to believe that i’m not a real person asking for help .

“if you’re genuine i’m so sorry” but now i’m being spammed death threats in my inbox , they’re calling me horrible names , telling me that i’m a horrible person . every time i delete one , i get another . i just don’t know what to do anymore . i’ve never felt so isolated in my life . if i had known this would be the reaction i’d get , i would have never made the post to begin with . i would rather be struggling then receiving this type of treatment

#i don't want to ignore this because it makes me look suspicious but addressing it could also bring more negativity #my heart feels like it's shattering into a thousand pieces right now #i just needed help and now all of this #i think i'm going to log off for a little bit for my own mental sanity #thank you to those who believe me . i appreciate it more then words can say #ask to tag

why am i getting death threats over my donation post .. what is happening

i was kicked out by my transphobic step-father , consider helping me stay afloat for the next few months

hi everyone .. my name is amara and i’m an eighteen year old nonbinary person who just got kicked out of my home . my step-father somehow logged into my personal computer while i was away from the house and went through everything . he knows everything , he knows that i’m queer , he knows about my partner , every little secret that i kept hidden about myself to protect myself … when i got home , he was in the process of ransacking my room .. started calling me horrible transphobic and homophobic names , said i'm no longer allowed to live under his roof . he told me to get the fuck out , all while my mom watched and didn’t do or say anything to defend me or stop him .

my older sister is letting me stay with her which i appreciate so much but she is a single mom and she’s already struggling without me adding more to her plate . i’m trying to finish this final year of high school so i can get my diploma and go to live with my partner . i have $75 saved up from babysitting but that’s going to go so fast with buying my own groceries and necessities . i’m going to start selling my art soon but in the meantime , i could really use some help .. if anyone can send a few dollars to help me stay afloat until i graduate , it would mean absolutely everything to me !
