Hey guys let me tell you about advance fee scams

I hope y'all are familiar with these in this day and age, especially my artists out there, because they're incredibly common.

About half an hour ago I posted a drawing and tagged it #artists on tumblr, and very quickly received this comment.

My scam radar went off immediately, due to the generic blog name and lack of any emotion in the comment, but I decided it might be an entertaining venture so I dmed them. They asked for a drawing "of these", and sent me a random selfie. I got the details and told them it would be $15, and they promptly offered me $300. At this point I know it's a scam, but I play along for funsies and give them my paypal. Shortly, they send me this image for "confirmation" (I blocked out my email)

And they began to insist that I checked my email. I looked in my spam folder and found the following email.

This is fake. This is not a thing. And the "you're to refund the $200.00 back" is the scam. They send vaguely official-looking emails at you to "prove" that they sent you the money, then have you send them $200 (or however much the scam is for). Then, surprise surprise, you're out $200.

I continued to play along for a bit, and in the second email "Paypal" told me that I had to refund the $200 before they could "credit the $300 to my account", along with these lovely threats.

And yeah, it's silly. But it's not silly if you don't know and get scammed. So. Spread, please! And thank you very much to @mlaurel for the opportunity to get these screenshots.

what do i do?

people are being carted off to fucking camps. what do i fucking do?

im scared. not for me. let's face it, this regime isn't going after white people. yes, we're gay and trans and everything but we're not the ones getting carted off to fucking El Salvador right now.

like can't someone just. say this is happening? can't we acknowledge the horrible elephant in this room?

where are the protests? where is the rage? who do i join up with to stop this? every single protest is about "protecting democracy" or some bullshit when POC are disappearing in droves. and every protest is a bunch of people holding up lollipop signs as though that'll save lives.

please. please tell me there is anyone else on here who cares. even better please god tell me there is someone or a group who i can help fucking DO SOMETHING
