#donation fraud

[suckmachine]

I’M SEEING THIS FUNDRAISER GOING AROUND AGAIN SO PLEASE REMEMBER “gateway-2000” is still “genderqueerdykes” AKA Equinox, a cryptoterf who called itself a black trans woman to scam more donations “for housing” but then spent it on games while continuing to push anti-transfeminist bullshit under the guise of intersex activism. Don’t fall for it, I wish I was fucking kidding but I’m not- it’s not black nor transfem and likely doesn’t really need help. Now I don’t actually give a shit about most scammers, but the race-faking and transmisogyny is too much. Stop sharing that, this person is a terrible fraud who uses its huge platform to spread this harmful ideology and doesn’t deserve the support of the queer community.

WARNING: Adella Dominos/Dominos Della is a scammer. 

They have a pretty established history of lying/misrepresenting themselves as different people in need, and have been messaging folks on Tumblr to try and pressure people into sharing their donation posts. They will deliberately use inflammatory/upsetting images and scenarios (ie, parental death, animal abuse, homophobia and custody battles) to guilt and emotionally manipulate people into sharing and donating. DO NOT DONATE, just block and report them to Tumblr and Gofundme. Their current Tumblr URL is @peopwtasghd.

Help Bailey scam submission

Probable new scam: https://helpbailey.tumblr.com/post/661847742262493185/my-dog-bailey-is-diagnosed-with-erhlichiosis-and

Post linked above is the only post on OP’s blog, and is identical to this post from a deactivated blog made last month: https://twinnedpeaks.tumblr.com/post/660763543053926400/my-dog-bailey-is-diagnosed-with-erhlichiosis-and

Hey, thanks for the submission! Yep, this looks like another donation scam. After taking a look, it’s pretty apparent that the @helpbailey​ / @baileyshealing accounts follow the exact same pattern of behaviour that other active scammers use: 

Spamming random users to share their donation post

The account being made extremely recently and having very few (or even sometimes only one) post that is solely dedicated to their fundraising efforts

Repeatedly deactivating and creating new scam accounts (baileyshealing was recently deactivated only to be recreated as @helpbailey)

Has apparently preemptively blocked a number of users who have outed active scammers

Pretty much exclusively uses Paypal (as opposed to Venmo or Cashapp), with comments in notes often mentioning that there is something wrong with the Paypal account

Language/cadence when talking about the need for fundraising is super similar to previous scammers like the Flores family and Laura Deramas (slightly skewiff grammar that suggests an ESL user + weirdly specific medical jargon)

Hi!! Im so sorry to disturb you, I just dont know what else to do, I know this might come strange and you might hate me for this but I just wanna ask for some help if you can maybe possibly take a look the post I pinned for my lil cat, we’re in desperate need of help so a reblog/boost might definitely help us a ton! I hope you can spare some of your time for us but if not, its okay and I do understand! Wishing you good health and stay safe! Pls send me a msg for a response or answer the ask privately if you could. Please? 🙏

Thank you for advertising your phishing scheme!!

You can tell this is a scam because the account is less than a week old and going around sending other random people asks, asking for money. If you genuinely need financial aid, do not use Tumblr.

WARNING: These two Gofundme campaigns are fake and run by the same account (Adella Dominos/Dominos Della are pretty obviously the same person). The Tumblr accounts to watch out for are @norreeee and @saltygothcookieshark. Both accounts are new, use the same language that other active scammers use, and @norreeee has been messaging random people to share their campaign, which follows the exact same pattern of behaviour that other scammers have, as documented in @donationscamwarning and @donationscamalert

If you donated money to the Red Cross during the Ebola crisis, you will be disheartened to…
