Some tips on how to spot scammers‼️
These scams can be under the pretext for *getting medication*/*getting a group of people to a safer location* or whatever new variations that may pop up in the future!
Not all of these are telltale signs that the person is a scammer but just some things I have seen in common. Make sure to always do your own research first before reporting/reblogging!
1a. Their accounts are barely a week old and has liked nothing much but posts of people answering positively to their scams sent to your inbox
1b. Only liking/reblogging posts related to the scam they're trying to sell
2. Linking a *go fund me* but it actually leads you to their paypal account under a different name
3. Lack of precise information/vagueness. Their last few lines are always along the lines of; please donate/help where possible because all they care about is money!
4. You've interacted; reblogged/liked/commented with whatever content recently so they send you their stolen paragraph from an actual person who's in need of help. eg. Charity, free Gaza
5a. Inconsistent pronouns being used eg. Sometimes using 'i' and then switching to "them" or "they"
5b. In addition to inconsistent pronouns, there could also be randomly placed quotation or exclamation marks - meaning they copied it from someone
6. You could also try reverse google searching the images/paragraph they use by simply putting quotation mark followed by the paragraph eg. "paragraph"
7. Copying the paragraph and pasting it on Tumblr search. You'll instantly find proof by looking at others posts
8. Always check against a vetted source to know if their account is reliable
Always report scammers posts and accounts too!
As always, don't be so trusting/gullible of everything you see online! Always check its legitimacy before liking/reblogging or asking others to help them out!
Not everyone is a scammer, but it's important donations go to people who actually need it!!
