Wewe Global Scam Busted
People have received emails such as:
Norton claiming your subscription has ended and you need to renew
Messages claiming you have won an iPhone
Messages offering you CBD oil
Saying you have won an Amazon prize
Facebook saying someone tried to log into my account
Outlook saying someone tried to log into my account
Messages claiming you have been shortlisted to win a Tesla car
PayPal claiming you can win a gift card worth $100
Microsoft team to set up security information in your account
One very sad thing about this messages is that it is highly intrusive. For those that have realized the scam and blocked the email, the messages keep coming.
How to prevent being Scammed?
When you get such calls or email. Ensure it is coming from a company mail they are claiming to be representing and not @gmail, @yahoo, @aol and the likes. If it is a number, pen the number down and ask the company they are representing if its a call , its far better to even drop the call without engaging them. Don’t click any links on the email or text message and don’t reply as well. Check for reviews online about the company to ascertain its legitimacy. If it involves PayPal, then checkout how to report here, if it involves your bank, send a report to your bank and immediately hotlist your card. And always ensure you don’t disclose personal details like credit card details, social security details and personal ids. You can also download spam call blocking apps on your phone.

beware of scammers posing as artists offering commissions
this user left a comment on my fic and followed up with this
their first comment (which i didnt include) already sounded bot-like (they talked only about the first scene and didn't leave comments on the other chapters despite saying my fic had 'great potential')
so i let them reach out to me on tumblr only to find an empty profile
so i browsed through their likes and found random posts from different fandoms. no themes or ships or anything.
very much bot behavior
then i found this warning under a post endorsing this person.
naturally i reached out. and they said this.
it's so disheartening that this exists in fandom spaces. i hope this would help caution others out there as i doubt it was a coincidence they reached out thru my ongoing fic that's fairly new and therefore has only a few hits and kudos-- making my profile vulnerable ig. i hope shtbags like them burn in hell:D
rb to spread the word
#anyw it fcking sucks:DD#cant blv im busting my ass with this fic and a scammer bot mf just has to mess with me on top of that#right off the bat they were giving bot. but then they kept replying so i thought hm whats going on.. turns out theyre a scammer! oh!#im fine im more disturbed by their existence and the possibility of there being other victims#they really went to an unpopular writer and said 'hey this btch looks extortion-able' THANKS!#scam alert#ai#wolfstar#wolfstar fic#marauders#hp marauders

Yo, @billiebustupofficial I hate being a pain in the butt but this website is fishy because... Well, I will let the screenshots talk for themselves.
This seems fishy. My mom bought one of these and I'm not exactly trusting it. My gut feeling is saying "Don't trust!"
Reasons why:
1. Let's start with the big red flag. The description here matches the description for the Makeship campaign (that I missed/got screwed over both times because first one I was too late and second one my then boyfriend made a promise and never fulfilled it) to a T.
2. The fact that "official" is in the name.
3. A suspected typo on the "join".
4. A suspicious lack of reviews.
5. The feeling that it was cobbled together.
6. The GITD Barnaby plush is completely absent (makes it suspicious. The campaign ended in what? January 2024?).
Yeah. It definitely looks suspicious.
If it's a knock off, then I know exactly what I'm calling it. No spoilers!
#bbu barnaby#barnaby bbu#billie bust up#scam? or am I being paranoid!?#i legit do not know#it says “official” but I have my reservations

not to be an ass but if you're giving so much to fundraisers spread around on tumblr dot com that you're out of money that is a you problem. most are asking for single digit donations or a share for other people to decide of they want to do the same. if they are a scam, make sure you lose money you can stand to lose, and if not, 100 people who can afford to donate $5 each will add up real quick for someone who needs it and will absolutely not be a waste to anybody anywhere. if you have time and energy to research multiple fundraisers yourself, awesome, and if you don't, $1 or $5 or $10 is not going to kill you, unless it is, in which case, you can simply not donate! nobody has a gun to your head. ultimately it is your decision and your judgement call if that's something you can afford to spend, scam or otherwise, vetted yourself or otherwise, as a grown ass adult with functioning free will. it is not that complicated, next question.
#j.txt#free palestine#most of us are grown adults can we please act like it#if that means doing basic research yourself awesome!#if that means donating to something that could very well be a scam because you don't want to cool!#you are a fucking adult!#people acting like 13yos are on here being scammed out of their college savings#i can promise you most people who have been scammed were probably adults and made a Choice#scammers should be busted and there are people busting them but like#stop borderline infantalizing people who are being scammed like they're not adults making decisions online and wherever else they go#as soon as they step away from their computer. you are not their mother they can and will do what they like#if that means taking a risk donating to something they care about like. it's their money and their judgement and their decision#if they spend so much that they are in financial trouble. um. nobody asked them to do that! to a legit fundraiser or a sketchy one like#they decided to take that risk for whatever reason?#am i being an asshole. am i crazy. it is not that complicated 😭#personally if someone scams me out of $20 bucks i will survive because i made sure of that when i decided to donate $20 bucks to a stranger#i think some people just need to learn what a budget is

Also that scammer is pretending to be a Black, diabetic Palestinian while claiming that "insulin reading" photo is theirs (& they often steal photos from darker skinned Black people) but the hand in the photo is fucking white
#i know theres the argument we shpuld change our scam busting tactics a little bc scammers might change up their tactics#but these motherfuckers. are stupid.#theyve been using the same photos across multiple scams and then harassing the same people thinking no one will notice#theyre just reusing their same tactics bc they're hoping ppl dont check their shit.#and a lot of it is SO CATCHABLW#i AM working on changing my tactics tho lemme work on it#i tell you tho these scammers literally just use the same shit over & over & over & over & then prove us right#the scam list is for documentation of proof & urls so ppl can see that & recognize scams more easily

Hello there, am sorry for stepping in your inbox without your permission. Am having a request concerning my family. My family is still living in the Gaza Strip, and like so many other families, their lives are hell right now. My family includes my father and mother, my sisters Nisreen and Yasmine and my brother Anwar. My dad is 77 years old and my mother, who I call the soul of my soul and the balm of my life, is 75 years old and confined to a wheelchair because of a war injury when she was young. My brother Anwar and my sister Yasmine suffer from diabetes mellitus type 1… They need insulin urgently and regularly. Any lack of insulin puts their lives in danger, as what happened with my older sister Ibtisam, who lost her life 10 years ago due to a lack of insulin.” Kindly donate any amount and reblog.
Just give it up already man. Don't you feel tired of trying to profit off of the back of a genocide? Or any of the other scams you've made countless blogs for?
Over 30,000 people have died in Gaza, nearly half of them children. Just a few days ago Israel started bombing the last safe city that they told everyone to evacuate to, so the number is likely even higher now. The bodies of the dead aren't even buried yet and people are still dying every moment, yet your only concern is trying to steal money from people who would otherwise be using it to help the remaining families escape from death. Do you truly care so little about your fellow humans?
Can you sleep well at night knowing that the piles of money you've stolen over the months (years?) could have been the difference between life and death for the people you impersonated? Can you live with yourself knowing that your actions have very likely led to the deaths of other human beings? Will you continue your scams even knowing that your actions have a body count? Do you have the decency to feel guilt for what you've done? Can anyone—whether a higher power or the people you harmed—ever forgive you in a way that matters?
#stickytreephilosopher#greatpuppytyphoon#jeff owino#mercy abongo#awuor abongo#feel free to continue messaging me every time you make a new blog if you want to tho. ill just keep exposing you :)#also. youve got some fucking nerve to add the name of one of the actual palestinian bloggers who helps bust your scams to your backstory#ask

#finally got my poor little car back from the doctor shop he was so ill#it was more than my bank wanted me to pay with card so I had to bust out the check book. it's been genuinely ages since I wrote a check.#which was neat. it's cool to do things a little differently and not just swipe a piece of plastic.#plus they're just at the end of my road so I can walk back after dropping it off and walk over to pick it up#and walk home and back to grab my checkbook cause I didn't think to bring it with me originally (>ლ)#my dad was like “I think you're being scammed” and I was like no you just have no idea how overdue my car is for literally so many things.#anyway the shop is cool and the guys are nice and keep all the parts they replace to show you exactly why it needed to be replaced#plus I literally never asked them to call me my preferred name but my voicemail introduces me by it and they started using it unprompted#so they can up-charge me I don't care I love them.#but also. cars are such a scam and imagine if the US had trains and good bus systems so you didn't need to drive six hours to get anywhere#car dependency my beloathed.
