Help Bailey scam submission

Probable new scam: https://helpbailey.tumblr.com/post/661847742262493185/my-dog-bailey-is-diagnosed-with-erhlichiosis-and

Post linked above is the only post on OP’s blog, and is identical to this post from a deactivated blog made last month: https://twinnedpeaks.tumblr.com/post/660763543053926400/my-dog-bailey-is-diagnosed-with-erhlichiosis-and

Hey, thanks for the submission! Yep, this looks like another donation scam. After taking a look, it’s pretty apparent that the @helpbailey​ / @baileyshealing accounts follow the exact same pattern of behaviour that other active scammers use: 

Spamming random users to share their donation post

The account being made extremely recently and having very few (or even sometimes only one) post that is solely dedicated to their fundraising efforts

Repeatedly deactivating and creating new scam accounts (baileyshealing was recently deactivated only to be recreated as @helpbailey)

Has apparently preemptively blocked a number of users who have outed active scammers

Pretty much exclusively uses Paypal (as opposed to Venmo or Cashapp), with comments in notes often mentioning that there is something wrong with the Paypal account

Language/cadence when talking about the need for fundraising is super similar to previous scammers like the Flores family and Laura Deramas (slightly skewiff grammar that suggests an ESL user + weirdly specific medical jargon)

Hello, I'd like to ask you for a small favor. Is it possible for you to post about my dog on this blog? I'm in desperate need of financial help as well as prayers. Thank you for your time, and please keep yourself safe!

Why have you made that post about Meme and the help Bailey post on a bunch of different blogs, many now deactivated? They all go to your paypal. If you're honest, I would recommend maybe not doing that because it's suspicious behavior. It got you labeled as a scammer. Though I won't make any assumptions, of course. :) Also, if any of my followers get curious, be careful bc there's some possibly distressing images of a sick dog, especially under the Meme (teenagelanddonut and carbon-lodi) posts.

vvoyage 19 (though their name seems to be Ellie here instead of Bailey. I rather like the name Bailey. Why did you change it? :c Also the paperwork seems to say that the dog's name is Shakira, which would actually be my top pick. Why try to hide such a fun name?)

The donation post from @helpbailey is a scam, the EXACT same post was made by a deactivated blog last month that was deactivated for scamming (twinnedpeaks. tumblr. com/post/660763543053926400/my-dog-bailey-is-diagnosed-with-erhlichiosis-and) and they have blogs known for calling out scammers blocked (neechees. tumblr. com/post/662177785357500416/i-think-the-blog-helpbailey-is-a-new-scam-the)

Oof I rather suspected that but I guess I got suckered by the cute dog.

Thanks for telling me, I'll find that post I reblogged and take it down.

omg thank you, i was not aware

[scammercalloutblog]

WARNING: @prayforneil is another scam account from the donation scammer behind Ivysour and the current cluster of pet donation scam accounts (including helpbailey, thisisformilo and helpacatout).

The @prayforneil account follows the exact same pattern of other scam blogs, including:

Spamming random Tumblr users to reblog and donate to their fake fundraisers

Preemptively blocking accounts that monitor and warn for scam donation blogs

Deliberately choosing the most sympathetic subjects (ill children and the elderly, injured animals, abuse survivors) in an attempt to extort the maximum amount of donations and reblogs

Using the same language and formatting as other scam accounts (ie, the exact same cadence and grammar issues suggesting that the author is ESL)

The ‘evidence’ (ie, stolen photos of real people) depicting Filipino individuals or medical documentation from Filipino hospitals)

Exclusively using Paypal (as opposed to Venmo and Cashapp)

Additionally, the @prayforneil account seems to be using the same PayPal ID as the accounts they used for the @sherwun and @pawntryforhelplesspets scam - all three accounts have used the name “Sitchon” for their most recent Paypal links (screenshots under the cut). If you encounter these blogs (whether by receiving a message from them or just seeing them on your dash), do not engage - just block and report them to Tumblr and Paypal.

Hi there, just wanted to ask a quick favor if you can possibly share the post about my friend on this blog? He really needs prayers and some financial aid. Thank you in advance and pls stay safe!

Free donation scammer for your blocklist!

Don't forget to report them as well!

@donationscamwarning

Fairly sure this is another scam, based on the appearances of other recently-documents scams like Bailey. If it isn’t it’s definitely unfortunately timed. Follows the pattern of url/layout/formatting.

Warning for animal injury/gore, image they used sucks: https://helpacatout.tumblr.com/post/662915231638601728/im-codie-and-6-months-old-persian-cat-asking

WHEW BOY, I knew that the @helpbailey/@thisisformilo scammer was going to continue on their bullshit but I didn't think it would be this quick! This is definitely the same person - their tactic of spamming and harassing people for donations and reblogs, their refusal to tag extremely triggering, upsetting imagery, their blog being completely new and dedicated solely to raising fraudulent funds, and their blog having preemptively blocked this account and other Tumblr users who've been monitoring and calling out scammers, all points very obviously to this being the same person. I would strongly warn against looking at the @helpacatout blog- there is a very explicit, gorey photo of animal injury that is not tagged or hidden under a cut. If you encounter this person, please just report their account to Tumblr and Paypal, and block them - they will continue to use shocking, upsetting and graphic imagery to try and manipulate people into reblogging or donating, and it's truly not worth risking exposing yourself to deliberately upsetting content.

[neechees]

you're absolutely sure the dog post is a scam? i looked the person up and they're real, and i reverse searched the image and it seems to be an original image but of course i know that might not be enough. i reblogged in case it was real.

Yes. If you reverse searched & found the person who originally posted those photos, its not the person behind the tumblr. This scammer is infamous for stealing photos, fundraisers (while giving their OWN payment info instead of the real fundraiser's), names, and even personal information and documents to scam. Some infamous examples are prayforneil, helpacatout, and helpbailey. But this goes all the way back to when savenysister first began when they stole a real woman's facebook photos to say she was the gravely ill "sister" they were fundraising for, & used photos of several other women who looked nothing like her & said they were the same person.

You can just search my tag "donation scam" just to see proof of how often they do it. and how many times I've caught them red handed by finding the original photos to someone's unrelated social media & then finding discrepancies between their info and/or the tumblr's story/info. In cases where an original image couldn't be reverse searched, theyve also used the tactic where they ever so slightly alter or edit the image, just enough to make it different, l so now it's an "original", & can't be reverse searched.

And again, because I've caught this scammer so mant times, they've now taken to preemptively blocking me before they come out with a freshly remade scam, and have been for a while. And helppaaka has blocked me. This person's tactics also include not only stealing new info with a fresh new scam, but to just remake one they had before, sometimes with new info, and a new url. They've also been stalking my blog to see what I say or how I call them out, and note that last time, I commented that I found it suspicious that their old (now deleted) blog used the lame excuse that their dog had "something wrong with his private part" but didn't say why (& being either incredibly vague or overly detailed about why they're allegedly fundraising is also one of their red flags) & now on their new blog its almost the exact wording, except they say "because of a cyst"

So yes, I am quite certain this is a scammer. I don't throw scamming accusations around willy nilly. But if you could send me screenshots of the orig photos for evidence sake, that would be good.

[scammercalloutblog]

hi, just wondering your thoughts on this? id like to donate but im not sure whether or not its a scam.

https://patty-needs-help.tumblr.com/post/664551278182105088/donate-to-sitchonsherwungmailcom

Hey! Thanks for getting in touch. It looks like this account has already been deactivated, but from what I can see of the link, this seems to be another pet donation scam account from the person behind the @helpbailey and @thisisformilo scam accounts. They're also likely to be behind one of the more notorious and prolific scammers, @ivysour.

Sitchon Sherwun seems to be the current identity used in PayPal accounts run by this scammer, so I would avoid donating or sharing anything posted by accounts using these details. I’d also recommend reporting the sitchonsherwun@gmail.com PayPal account to PayPal.

[neechees]

I rbed with proof that helpbailey is a scammer on their own post using a different blog and of course they hid my reblog within minutes of me doing it lol

[neechees]

I think the blog @helpbailey is a new scam, the donation post they're sending asks about is the only post on their blog and the EXACT same post was made by a deactivated blog last month (twinnedpeaks. tumblr. com/post/660763543053926400/my-dog-bailey-is-diagnosed-with-erhlichiosis-and)

Theyve blocked me too lol! Interesting, thank you
