How to spot a (heart wrenching sad cat) Charity Scam

So I've been get a lot of requests for money in my askbox lately, from users I have never seen before! Usually sad cats, sometimes gender affirming medical bills, a queer person being made homeless etc etc... and guess what? None of them are real! It's scammers who have learned how to work tumblr's userbase and prey on our general sense of community and charity.

Here it is, so sad! So tragic! But let's note a few things:

It's generic. They don't know me, I don't know them. it's addressed to 'friend', no use of nicknames or usernames.

Even the cat and the problem are generic 'little kitty' who has 'urgent needs'. This is not how real people talk, this is because this scam is being used over and over with different accounts a different 'cats'.

Praying (uh huh.)

Asking you to reply privately- This is so people don't spot the scam and point it out the mark and because if too many people posted replies to the same message it would beome really obvious that this is a scam. If they're looking for 'boosts' so badly, then why do they need you to reply privately?

Now that I'm suspicious, let's investigate.

Sent me an ask and then followed me! Sounds like they're just hitting up anyone and everyone, but even more likely they have a list they're working from.

(I get so many, I'm probably on a mail-out list a mile long, just being hit up for cash. Likely I fell for one of these once and got my name added to every scam list for miles, but oh well.)

So let's see if they're a bot or a real person!

The blog looks genuine enough, they've got a bio, a fandom etc. And it says they're an artist!

And of course there's that sad cat post, pinned right to the top, so I don't have to look any further through the blog for verification... Looks super legit, pics of the cat, pics of the bill... of course anyone can print out a bill and take a picture of it...

As I do scroll futher, it's full of reblogs making this look like an active user. So how can I tell it's not genuine?

Well, if they're an artist they probably post right? Doodles? Pictures? Let's have a look at their origional posts.

The fastest way to do this is by using an outside tool like Original Post Finder.

just type in the suspicious username and go...

Voila! As suspected, the only post this bot account has ever made is Sad Cat Post.

Confirmed: Scam. Do not give your money to these guys, it looks so real but they're just here to make you feel like a bad person for not handing over everything you can. Charity is wonderful, supporting friends is wonderful, but tbh save it for people you actually know irl/ mutuals you have an actual relationship with. Don't believe any rando who comes knocking!

Love and kisses, stay safe out there.

am i crazy for thinking it should be a legal requirement for people selling arrangements with lilies to have a warning about their lethality to cats? they are one of the most common plants found in bouquets (unlike most other lethal plants like oleander and sago palm, which are usually found potted solo) and so many owners or well-meaning gift-givers are completely unaware of how a single lick of pollen is enough to kill a cat, meaning unlike other potential toxins they just get left as a table centerpiece. like sure, chocolate and grapes can kill your dog, but you are probably not intentionally leaving chocolate and grapes on surfaces your dog can reach (and they also don't shed particles). about 30% of american homes have cats in them, a percentage you can't really gloss over when it comes to precaution. if you work with florals please, please post visible warnings by your lilies, it will save kitty lives. 🙏

So the GIW is the Ghost Investigation Ward and not the Ghost Extermination Ward, yes? Hear me out, hm? 

See, it’s really hard to study ecto-entities when they’re going all over in and out of the world. Really hard! And of course they aren’t like, sentient, studies for years before the boom in this one town showed this! But, the overgrown not-birds (they’re still debating that) are really hard to watch doing their natural thing when they naturally mimic people around them! 

So! They got this idea, right? Their operatives can capture some! They’ve even made enclosures based off of what they currently know! It’s like containing crows, down to the mimicry & puzzle solving just er, with opposable thumbs and intangibility. 

And they don’t succeed first tries of course (Wow were said operatives frustrated and maybe cursing a bit that might be a bit violently) but then they get some assistance from the Fentons! Trying to hit an ecto-entities’ wings in a way to not permanently injure them is hard, but the new net canons that a ghost can’t pass through? Perfect! 

They have so many specimens now! They even released a few that were very much uncontainable- they rely on technology a bit and that entity kept unlocking all the doors. So catch and release with that one it is!  

They even managed to catch the white-haired ghost! In double! Which might not seem that important, but! As they realize during intake & initial examination (wow are they bitey) the two appear to be young! Something their ectobiologists only theorized about but oh are they excited! (Now if only the two would stop trying to escape their enclosure that’d be swell! Look, toys! Foo- oh dear God that baby ecto-entity is melting- Oh few, okay note taken to raise ambient ecto levels in that room dear god that was horrifying and stressful. … Maybe get some feelers out for feeding unstable energy entities…)

well, it's important to learn how to organize and problem-solve independently, but it's also important to learn that you can & should ask for help when you need it. right? (looking at kawakami) RIGHT?

Hey!

I remind you that I live in Ukraine and feed cats (and sometimes dogs), who have no home and no family. They live in basements, garages, and other non-residential buildings. Some of them were thrown out on the street, some were born already on the street.

I thank you for your help, but again, please, share this post or donate. I cannot leave them for a long time, they are waiting for me. They need food, care, and attention. Because they have no one but me and you.

There is almost no food. There have been no donations for almost a month. So, please, reblog or donate, if you can, here:

buymeacoffee

pp ellensnake142@gmail.com (for the cats)

Thank you again!❤️

just noticed this. HC'ing that low Charisma emps was nervous about having so many people in his space and created word salad

To each their own headcanon, aye! Truthfully, I had omitted out the original reason why Emps was dramatically agitated because it deterred from the main joke. For me, it wasn't because of the amount of unwanted faction members within Emp's hideout, but because Jaheira herself was there. And whenever Jaheira is around.....

Minsc is nearby.

URGENT ‼️ PLEASE READ

recently I rescued a cat and we were not expecting her to be in the condition she is in. she was rescued from a very neglectful situation in which we believed she would just need a check up and a groom; however, that was not the case.

meet bear: my sweet sweet kitty who is in urgent need of not only a much needed bath, but immediate medical care as well. in order to see a groomer to get her overgrown nails and matts taken care of (which have poop embedded into them as well), she needs to see the vet first for a plethora of issues.

first she has never been to a vet so she has never had her shots before (which are necessary in order to get groomed due to being a danger to people)

second she has bitten someone and given them blood poisoning due to the bacteria in her mouth from said neglectful living situation. this could be resolved with a dental checkup.

third, she likely has a head cold because she's having issues breathing. she's coughing and sneezing and I hear her huffing when she eats. she also is producing a lot of saliva despite potentially being dehydrated (which brings a risk for crystals as well)

fourth her sister has died of pyometra and bear is not spayed, so after her check with the vet and being groomed, we also need to discuss a future spay.

unfortunately her appointment isn't until June 10th, however she needs to see a vet now which means I may need to bring her to an animal hospital (since the vets are all booked up atm) which tend to be more expensive than doctor visits.

if you would like to help, PLEASE share this post or consider commissioning me. my information can be found on my website here:

https://batpoisonzcommissions.carrd.co/

everything made from here will be used to help my cat bear get the care she needs.

okay cool i have your attention

a friend of mine really needs help gathering up the money for vet care for his cat. we’re very worried about both of them, this kitty means the world to him and we’re not sure how long he’ll stick around if something happens to him. (not to mention, kitty doesn’t deserve to die just because capitalism is hell.)

we estimate he’ll probably only have a few days if lucky so this is URGENT. it’s most likely liver failure. please spread this around!!
