Hello sorry for tagging. I am very sick, my asthma is at its maximum level, my nose freezes, I have no medicine or food. I am in bad shape financially, I am a black disabled, who uses multiple medications, I pay for my food and lodging
Unfortunately I do not have all the resources to keep me safe, that is why I need your help, whatever you can contribute to me will be of great help.
Anyone else been getting asks in their inboxes of ppl asking for money? Usually, they leverage living situations or disability tokens to try to evoke a stronger moral response. I've gotten a handful of these lately. Normally, I report the account and move on. This time, however, I took a moment to look at the blog. I feel morally obligated to warn others who have reblogged/interacted/sent money to accounts like these that -
This is very likely a scam.
When you reblog a scam, it adds legitimacy to the scam. Don't do that.
Idk if people are fr sending money or if those claiming they have sent money are also part of the scam to make it seem more legitimate. Hopefully, nobody has actually sent their money and bank account information.
If you take a look at the blog, it seems average at first glance.
On closer inspection, you will notice that there is a bunch of random shit reblogged with a big fat begging post pinned to the top.
Then, if you open up the archive:
The account has only been active within the last month. In fact, the first post was made only 3 days ago. >.>
I have received asks trying to get me to publish their ask in order to promote/buy their art, music, etc. All of them similar to this ask & this account. I believe people are potentially falling for this and sending money. Scammers are implementing AI to create art and shit to make their claims more credible. Just be weary when receiving ANY request for money, no matter how legitimate it seems.
Do not share any information.
It is highly likely that your identity/bank/credit card information will be stolen. Do not send money to accounts like this!
