#paypal scammer

[bcbdrums]

PayPal: We're closing your case because you didn't provide any evidence by Dec. 8.

The evidence I provided on Nov. 30:

Me @PayPal: Did you review my evidence??? *explains entire thing*

PayPal: So is this a customized artwork?

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

SO, THE CASE WAS RE-OPENED...

I WON.

Should I tell PayPal about their multiple accounts, which violates their terms of service? Maybe?

But before I end this horrible saga, I must thank @midnightcaptions because she's the one who annotated all of those PM's for me to provide as evidence. I just didn't have that kind of time myself due to work.

She also dug deep and found all their other blogs where they scam from (ask me for usernames if you wanna block). She proved they're all the same person even though they deny it, and found more of their scams such as trying to sell other people's art off Furaffinity as their own adoptables.

So, yeah. I couldn't have won the case without her. She was invaluable, words can't express my thanks enough. 💗💗💗

Hi! You look like a scammer!!!

Thank you for coming into my inbox so that I can make other people aware of you!!

THIS IS A SCAMMER. PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW THE PAYPAL LINK ON THEIR PINNED POST.

They have used the same profile pic and PayPal link in their pinned post for other scams:

For more information on prior scams, you can check out more on @scamarchive , who has been documenting their scamming behaviour for a while.

You can also find more info on the pet medical Bill scam here:

IG truly is such a well designed app. If someone tries to scam you all they have to do is block you so you can't report them and they just get off free.

Can you contact support? no. That service is discontinued.

Can you report outside of the app? no. That's only for inappropriate content.

Anyway user soaphy_julls over on IG is a fucking scammer and should be reported, have a good day.

SCAMMER ALERT

known victims

As most of you know by now due to a multitude of posts that have been made about this person by different readers, @ recoveringinternetaddict is a scammer that has been bringing many tarot readers in financial trouble.

As of now the known victims of this person have been @bitchy-craft (me), @tarotwithavi and @starryfree.

We all have made posts about this person, but I still find it important to make another post about it, because this person is still charging back more, and will most likely continue to do so for as long as she can. Her card issuer, who decides on who wins all the cases has been approving her as the rightful winner the whole time.

I hate asking for help, but the amount she has taken from me keeps piling up, becoming more and more to handle. If anyone had been thinking about buying a reading from me, please do it now; I could really use the help.

If anyone else has been scammed by this person, please reach out to us or make a post of your own to keep spreading awareness. I will then be able to add you to this list if you wish.

I'm Caroline from Gaza. Am sorry for sending you this request without your permission. My house was destroyed in the war, and my family lost everything. We've been displaced multiple times, but there's no safe place here. I'm battling Type 1 Diabetes and can't afford insulin, and my mother needs treatment for kidney failure outside Gaza. Any donation, no matter how small, can help us survive and get my mother the care she needs. A friend outside Gaza is helping with the donation program. Please reach out if you need more details.

Damn, your name is Doreen, Mary Ann, Ruth, AND Caroline? You sure have a lot of names. Also somehow is able to use Paypal, despite it not working in Palestine. (Update since this is still getting attention. While Paypal can be a red flag, I do want to make it clear that there are workarounds to this, and not every fundraiser that uses it is a scam)

On top of all your blog activity being around the same time (which is a major red flag)

Hello ! My supporting friends ,🖤💚💔🤍🍉

Thank you from my heart for what you are doing for the people of Gaza who are in bad need in this tough and dire time. 💔💚🖤🤍

You helped me greatly to make progress in my campaign, but I am still in need of your kind support to reach my goal.✌️✌️

As noticed, the campaign is very slow😪😪 now and needs strong move and this can be carried out through your contribution and cooperation. 😯😯

Please don't leave us alone during this dire time. I am still in the first quarter of my campaign. ❣️❣️

Hello sorry for tagging. I am very sick, my asthma is at its maximum level, my nose freezes, I have no medicine or food. I am in bad shape financially, I am a black disabled, who uses multiple medications, I pay for my food and lodging

Unfortunately I do not have all the resources to keep me safe, that is why I need your help, whatever you can contribute to me will be of great help.

Hi! So I’ve actually done some research on this before in a previous post of mine! That can be found right here. You’re a horrible person for committing such a scam when thousands of other people are actually suffering! Rot in hell, you piece of shit.

And remember y’all- if anyone ever goes directly to your inbox and requests something chances are it’s a scam or a bot. Please please PLEASE always remember to look up their username first and see their interactions with other users. @kyra45 always has wonderful examples of current scams going around the website to look out for.

Had an older lady on the phone who said that tv show actor Oliver Stark was sending her money for her bills. She then got very angry we wouldn't turn her online banking back on after she gave out her info to this very legitimate person, whom shes been talking to for a year and a half now, so he could definitely send her money.

I've never had someone guilt trip me about not letting her get scammed, but boy howdy did it sure happen today.

[toucandrawz]

My name is HAMDI AHMED, and I'm a disabled Palestine queer. Tragically, my family's evacuation plans from Gaza were thwarted by the loss of my father, our breadwinner, during the genocide. Recently, my mother fell victim to an airstrike in Deir Al-Balah, leaving me without a home. With no income and relying on the kindness of friends, I urgently need to evacuate to Egypt for safety. Any donation, no matter how small, would make a world of difference. Thank you for your support.

I would stop responding to these, but the sheer amount of people determining they’re not a scam is wild.

As far as I’ve seen, anyone asking for help through asks is a scammer. If you actually need help, please don’t ask through asks. If you do you’re probably going to get buried by scammers.

BOT SPAM AND FAKE PALESTINE DONATION ASKS.

All of these followed me at once at the exact same time as money donation "Palestine" blogs in my ask.

They spam followed me all at once when the asks showed up.

They operate between 9 pm to 9am Pacific Standard time.

That's when they all go on an ask sending overboard, like random posts, post nothing, sometimes have one post linking to a paid po/rn content blog or a PayPal or go fund me for someone of a totally different name with a stolen verification. I have started blocking all money asks since then. I won't post it nor flood the Free Palestine tags with scammers or will reblog them for my followers to see because I don't want them falling for scams.

Most are between 2 to 5 days old and use stolen pictures to appear like a genuine account.

If these bots have their "following" showing, they are almost all exclusively follow lgbtqia or political blogs to see who they can scam (a lot of them follow the same accounts, including mine no matter how much I block)

Last night my account was of 2072 verified real followers. This morning it jumped to 2101 and all new followers were these bots.

All spam/scam bots that I've reported to @support

Everyone, if you see this kinda activity over ask in your follows report and block.

They're riding on the Free Palestine donations train and even following accounts of minors while having unfiltered nude pics.

Those screenshots are only some of these accounts I've had trying to follow me over these past few days. It's a hoard almost daily and a spam of asks begging for money in the time frame I specified along with the follow spam.

Some try to pass as legitimate blogs when they're obviously not once you truly look at their account.

Going to continue reporting t0 @staff @support @tumblrbot

Careful everyone.

[icedcoffeeanxiety]

So this scammer was a little more advanced than most I've come across, but still an easy catch because I know exactly what to look for 😤��

Be safe out there folks! Go through emails and such *carefully* and if it seems too good to be true, it probably is!

@andy-rose24680 for your blocking pleasure

[andipxndy]

lmao i think @carterkiss blocked me

but PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THEY ARE A SCAMMER

and spread the word because i think quite a few people have reblogged their post (but i'm not sure because i can't really see the notes since i got blocked???)

[taeriminal]

all those who try to take advantage of the suffering and genocide of the Palestinians to scam people and try to enrich themselves from their suffering and the compassion of others will rot in hell. I dont know what the scammers have in their heads, its incomprehensible to me

if you arent sure about an authenticity of the fundraiser, check Operation Olive Branch spreadsheet, they are legit for 100% and also check #gaza scam hashtag, people there are posting scam accounts

SCAMMER ALERT

please help + update

Hello everyone. I am here with a personal update on the scammer @ recoveringinternetaddict, who stole 200 euros from me and similar amounts from 2 other readers ( @starryfree and @tarotwithavi )

PayPal had told me 2 days ago that the chargebacks were permanently cancelled, and that I didn't need to worry about anything anymore. Yet they were lying.

When I woke up I got an email that one case I filed against was permanently chargebacked from me and given back to the scammer. 6 cases have been given back permanently so far. Meaning nothing was permanently cancelled and that I did have to worry about everything.

Please, for anyone reading this. I hate asking for help but if anyone wants to buy readings from me please do it now, I really need the help.

SCAMMER EXPOSED

I got an inbox message from the user @pyschiccandycollectioanye the message goes as is:

When checking out their account you will soon come to realize their donation link simply leads to a PayPal link and not a gofundme. Here is the link to prove so:

And here is the name attached to the PayPal:

This name is not mentioned or used anywhere on the account. However, I did find a linktree with a similar name and pfp:

Here is the PFP they are using. I have added a filter to avoid being flagged.

From my research I’ve also found a Twitter asking for donations with the same pfp and a different name: https://x.com/askafarao?s=21&t=9OTxKxiJszMSiWbQSpCxEw

The Twitter also links to a PayPal with the name of: Shadrack Muchuka

https://x.com/askafarao?s=21&t=9OTxKxiJszMSiWbQSpCxEw

This person is a known scammer and in the past has used the scam of being a Palestinian citizen to garner monetary donations. Please look into any accounts that send anything to your inbox with the request of donations of any kind.

The best you can do about this situation is to report them and their account and their PayPal and not interact if possible. For more information I recommend user (@)kyra45 ‘s posts about the situation.

Please be safe and have a good day
