What are Spiritual Scams? How to protect yourself from Spiritual Frauds

Spirituality is a way to connect your soul with god. But nowadays many frauds are happening in the name of spirituality, spiritual scams are also a part of it. Today we can see many psychic readers and tarot card readers on social media. They told you they will help you to find a job, help in marriage, and many more personal things. Afterward, they will assign you inappropriate tasks like asking for your mobile numbers, email id, and bank details.  Please do not share these details with unknown persons because they are spiritual scammers. Spiritual scams are a way to harm the feelings of a spiritual person. There are many types of spiritual scams like blessing scams, fake psyche and tarot card readers, and telephonic psyches.

How to protect yourself from spiritual Scams ➖

Today's life is very busy. We spend much more time on social media and social media platforms are major places of spiritual scams. Because social media is the best place to connect with people. Spiritual scammers send you a message that connects to your feelings and emotions and you get trapped in it. But we need to understand this is a spiritual scam.

Do not share your personal details and other major information. Do not upload your bank details on social media. Because spiritual scammers are always spiritual hackers. Hackers are very powerful in today's digital life.   Here are some points to know more about spiritual scams ➖

1. Social media accounts- Social media platforms are a major part of spiritual scams because everyone has mobile phones and desktops. Spiritual scammers find those people's accounts who are spiritual and religious. Spiritual scammers ask you about your problems or promise to give you solutions. If you tell them about your problems they demand money to solve them. You give them money or get your other details, from which your bank account can also be opened. So don't trust everyone on social media. 

2. Old and traditional myths - Spirituality is the best way to find inner peace. But in spirituality, there are many traditional myths.  In our lives, a lot of traditional spiritual scams and Worship change our lives and luck. But that is not true. God creates some challenges in our life and they also provide solutions for every problem. Whatever has been written in our life, we will get it but at the right time. We won't get anything before time. But we forget this thing or become greedy. Why do we fall prey to spiritual scammers? Once you get caught in spiritual scams, there is no way to come out from spiritual scams. 

3. Stay away from Online deals - Do not pay money to psychic readers on behalf of spirituality. Spiritual scammers have a lot of techniques with which they steal your personal and professional information and we don't even know what happened to us. Do not make any online deal with any unknown person or send money to any unknown person on the basis of spiritualism.

Here are some signs of Spiritual scams you need to know ➖

1. If the spiritual advisor forces you to pay a large amount of money and forces you to make repeated payments for their services. 

2. If they are talking about any fear and mishap that happened in your past life, then it is a spiritual scam. 3. Spiritual scammers talk about your upcoming life and say your upcoming life is very beautiful.This is a scam because the future is invisible, no one sees the future life.

4. Spiritual scammers talking about your financial conditions. They share a small task and say if you complete the task your financial conditions become stronger. 

5. Spiritual scammers demand that you do not depend on anyone and only do what they tell you.

6. Spiritual scammers play with your feelings and emotions. So don't share your feelings and emotions with unknown persons. 

7. Spiritual scammers make you uncomfortable and confused so that you believe only in what they say. 

How Does Spiritual Scams works ➖ 

Spiritual scams promise you to , they are always with you and help you become successful. Spiritual scammers tell you that what you are doing is absolutely true. If you follow the wrong path or hurt someone's religious feelings then they say that you are right. Spiritual scammers do not have any feelings and fears. Nowadays people take any matter as true without seeing or listening to it or give their reactions without saying anything. Scammers take advantage of such situations and trap us.

when did the tumblr culture around asks change so much? ive been thinking about it alot recently and its something i already do think about time to time, like... what happened? they used to be such a huge part of the community and suddenly fell off.

i think in 2024 maybe we should work to bring back the larger ask culture. start more random conversations with others, create and share more ask games, maybe say something nice to the people you follow, drop off a silly meme or just pop in and say hi!

ultimately no one is obligated to spread or donate to palestinian gofundmes they find sketchy when (unfortunately) there are endless people who need help and places to donate, palestinians who reach out to a ton of people definitely do so only expecting a few responses, and ultimately it’s your money. but it’s bizarre to me that for some people “every single ask tumblr users get claiming to be a palestinian trying to evacuate gaza is part of an organized scam ring that tumblr staff is implicitly in on” is easier to accept than “scammers can co-opt actual language palestinians use to ask for help to take advantage of people’s kindness and sometimes individual palestinians who vet campaigns make mistakes”

[mushroomjar]

I don't like the way you guys talk about Palestinians asking for donations. I don't like it.

I had to see someone make MULTIPLE posts bitching and moaning about how people need to stop sending them asks asking for them to reblog their donation posts, that they'd just be blocking them from now on, and that they didn't care if they were vetted because they still found the act of sending asks to get reblogs on their donation links suspicious, even if they were in a dire situation. They even went as far as to say that they got an ask, deleted it, and then they got another ask from the same person, and accused the person of sending another ask to purposefully "get under their skin"

I don't know man, have you considered that being a victim of ongoing genocide will make you ask for help in whatever way you can? And sometimes that involves sending random blogs asks to see if they can donate or at the very least share your donation links? A Palestinian reaches out to you multiple times because they need help and your response is to whine about getting donation links in your inbox? I wish I had your problems

Also the thing about "getting the exact same ask from the exact same blog multiple times"... uh, duh? First of all, they're probably reaching out to dozens of blogs daily, do you think they're gonna type up a new paragraph for each blog they reach out to? Second of all, maybe they reached out to you multiple times because a. They really really really need the help and b. What, do you think they're gonna see your URL/blog and be like "oh! I already reached out to this blog, I'm not gonna send them another ask"? Or do you think they'll be like "this person has been reblogging other people's donation posts, maybe they'll reblog mine too"?

Like I understand being suspicious about getting sent donation links to your inbox, but literally all you have to do is check if the blog's been vetted by other bloggers? It's as easy as searching for their URL on tumblr sometimes, it literally takes less than a minute or two. And that's what bothers you? That's what you're complaining about? Find a real problem!!!

Hi y'all, I just wanted to talk a little about the behind the scenes of what I've been up to, to give y'all a little transparency and to open myself up for any tips or input! 🙏 Thank you for your continued support and for taking the time to look at my art 🫶

First and foremost I wanted to give some transparency about my art capacity.

As og followers may remember, I started this blog when I was doing art full time. Eventually my living expenses grew and I had to go back to work. I find myself in a cycle of "I'll make more art soon, once I get a job!" And "I'll make more art soon, once I am done with this job!" I lost my most recent job suddenly, having had an extension waved over my head until the last day(October 7th). Now I'm excited to have more time for art, but I am also feeling a rush to get a new job ASAP as I've been living paycheck to paycheck. I dream of doing this work full time, I'm just scared it's not quite there yet and I worry that I come off as scammy or dishonest when I anticipate more stability around the corner.

Second, I've been struggling with the Patreon. It's taken me a while to come to terms with this, but from what I've seen Patreon is not intuitive at all from the creator end. It doesn't do a good job of organizing addresses, emails, showing who or who isn't subscribed to me, or organizing and displaying the work I put on there. I've been really shocked by this experience, since lots of big names use Patreon. It's been a great way to streamline support, but it's been unhelpful in every other regard. I would like to continue using it, but I will most likely post more wips or process videos there in the future.

Which brings me to my third point, zines. I love making zines so much, it feels personal and fulfilling and fun! However the Patreon issues make it harder to keep information in order about where to send zines, or even where to message folks about them. In addition to this, the post office has been a big barrier to me, oftentimes only being open at the same time as my dayjob. Making zines can take days, then sending them out is a whole other monster.

This work is so important to me. Drawing peoples fantasies, representing body types, creating work around sexuality and the human experience feels like what I'm meant to do. I've made comics since I was a kid. This is the dream to me. The friends I've been able to make through this work are so important to me, and the conversations have been invaluable. Not to mention fun! I wanna doodle, I wanna draw hot stuff, I wanna thirst over these dudes! I want to play!

But I also just want to be transparent about the barriers I'm working around to share that experience. I'm completely self taught, both in art AND in running shops, building websites, running 8 accounts, etc. I take a lot of time to learn the logistics of these things, and try to make them make sense for my relationship with y'all (I do not want to paywall my art!! I don't want to!!!). This year my desktop broke down (the main one I use for all paintings and digital art). I've paused my Etsy shops and my Patreon to try to catch up with things. Trying to learn to paint in a completely different program. Then lost my job with no savings.

At the end of the day I don't want anything to come between me sharing my art with you. I wish I could doodle a thing, take a picture, and post it here. No third party site, no shop, no subscription. Just sharing my art with you. I promise I'm trying to figure out how to stay as close to that as possible, and I want to thank y'all for sticking with me as I untangle all of that.

So, what can you expect in the near future?

I'm working on a couple of painting commissions right now, which you should be able to see in the next couple of days! I want to catch up on kinktober and get those posted as well. There's a comic commission in progress which I'm very eager to work on, and which I think y'all will be excited for! To ease the weight of the Patreon I think I may do less zines/polls there and more wips and process videos! If possible, I want to do more full colored work too.

Thank you again for enjoying my work, and if you have any input or tips my inbox is always open 🙏🫶💕

Beloved snake oil horse scammers!

While it is very cruel that health scammers take advantage of people's paranoia about parasites, it is also very funny that they'll often say "in much of the world, people are routinely dewormed" and act like the logical conclusion is "North American doctors are withholding antiparasitic medications" and not "people in some regions of the world are at a higher risk of contracting dangerous internal parasites and benefit from routine deworming, while in other regions the risk is too low for it to be worthwhile".

hi, I remembered about the ask about the vampire abilities (time travel, walking in the sun, compulsion) and I need to ask, what are the werewolf abilities?

and Steve own abilities since he can become a giant werebat and being the most convincing conman

Hi there!

So, werewolves can shapeshift into canines of course. But they also heal faster than humans, are stronger than humans, and they have a generally better sense of smell and hearing!

I also like to think they can see in the dark pretty well, too.

Steve specifically has... Well, his stuff is kind of messy. Werewolves and their relation to the moon and its cycle combined with vampires relationship to time led him to being unable to control his time travel, and instead it's forced around the cycle of the moon. This sort of goes with everything. He doesn't need blood to do things, but the werebat is insatiably hungry. It's extremely powerful, but uncontrollable. He doesn't need permission to enter a residence, but he also is incapable of compelling people.

The sort of thematic representation of this is all about his general place in the story as someone who has absolutely no choice, and that frustration of your agency being taken from you.

Him being a 'convincing conman' is a survival tactic, to be honest. It can make the difference between eating and not. With his only real benefit from all this supernatural upheaval being heightened senses, he's just become really observational and is able to read a room and adapt to it immediately. It's about the only thing that's kept him alive, besides the werebat... so really, it's the only thing that's kept the werebat out.

Some of this is admittedly getting into spoiler territory, though, but I do intend to canonize some things! I'm happy to delve more into the specifics once it's happened :)
