Laura Deramas, the scammer behind the @peopwtasghd, @bfgstsghhxx, and @russel577888 accounts, is continuing to spam and harass people. The OP of this post has detailed their experiences of being targeted by this scammer above, and it’s pretty consistent with her pattern of manipulation and harassment. 

They’ve highlighted some common details across Laura’s different scams that I would encourage people to keep an eye out for, including:

Hosting on Airfunding (as opposed to Gofundme, as she had her account terminated recently)

Using “injured pet” scenarios to try and guilt/manipulate people into donating or sharing her posts

Inconsistent details, with photos that are clearly stolen not matching up with other evidence provided (ie, her fundraising post claims the dog has a torn ACL when the dog in question shows no signs of actually being injured and the x-rays don’t show a torn ACL)

Claiming to be LGBTQIA (not speculating on whether or not Laura is LGBTQIA herself, but it’s a common detail that she makes sure to mention in a lot of her scams)

Slightly broken English with specific words that are often misspelled or misconjugated, as well as certain issues with grammar and particular turns of phrase (opening a post with “Good day”, asking to “knock on your heart”, etc).

If you receive a message from an account you don’t know, requesting that you donate or reblog their fundraising post, I would strongly recommend that you double-check to make sure they haven’t already spammed people with the exact same message. I’ve included a screenshot below the cut of the posts that turn up when you copy-paste the first part of a message in quotation marks into the Tumblr search engine and sort by recent results.
