Scammers Warning. ‼️
Since there are a lot of them on Tumblr, here's a post about the scams I know.
Donation for "insulin or medicine." Someone you don't know will subscribe to you and send you an Ask or a DM. They will say they need money for insulin or medicine and leave you a Donation Link. They are scammers and you won't see your cash again if you give it to them.
Fake "Help for Palestine" GoFundMe or PayPal Donation. Same concept as #1. A scammer, sometimes they stole real identities of Palestinian people in need, will leave you a Ask or a DM asking for money to escape Gaza. While there are honest families on Tumblr that need help, many times it's a Scam Trap.
The "fake/tracer artists." Those are artists who will contact you for Commissions. If you buy one, you either will get a Traced Art or nothing at all while the scammer run off with your money. They will always ask you to pay via PayPal Friend & Family so you cannot chargeback. @salibadati is one of them. I lose 100 USD to her for "emergency medical help" in exchange of nothing + more money for other Commissions! Report and block her.
The "Fake E-Check" or "Art Muse" Scam. A so-called "artist" will contract you to do a painting or a wall art with one of your photos/drawings, etc and promise you money in return. They will put you in contact with their "client" on Discord. The client will then send you two e-checks (fake!) via email, ask you to put them in your bank account, then send them back 4/5 of the money via PayPal Friend & Family. You will never see your money again and, when the fake e-checks are refused by your bank, you can be penalized (and getting your account in the red!). I have lost 1.7K CAD (approx 1.2K USD!) to this scam this very week! Don't fall in like I did! The culprits are @rogersgrey7 at Tumblr and Pauldan008 on Discord. Rogers also use @Randomfactalready77 & @seekforbid. Report and block them.
UPDATE 2024-08-06
@rogersgrey7 & @Randomfactalready77 accounts are gone! YAY!
@seekforbid is still up. May be another scammer who do the same trick as Roger. @salibadati is still up but she seem to be inactive. (Except for donation scams?) Her other blog is @stais02.
Update 2024-12-25
@salibadati is still up & active. She asks for commissions & donations for "dogs in need." She even unblocked me and asked me for money via PM! The nerve. Her other blog is @stais02.
