Gofundme Scam - Tumblr Posts

6 months ago

yeah definitely yall need to be more careful. considering the fact that I just got scammed 🙃🙃🙃 like a few minutes ago 🙃🙃😭😭😭

I just checked the #palestine tag sorted by latest post and...

No exaggeration over 9/10 posts are either gofundme scammers posting their scripts or propalestinians blogging the asks of said scammers and saying "I gotchu fam".

I knew the scambots were a problem but I didn't realize it was THAT prolific.

If i were a propal activist I would be pissed about this drowning out actual content on the topic. I'm not a propal activist and I'm still pissed off. Palestinians deserve better than to have their tumblr tag taken over by scambots trying to take advantage of the sensitivities of propal leftists on this website to make a quick buck...and it seems to be working, too.

If I didn't have a sense of ethics to live by I'd put serious thought into joining in. Seems real easy to separate these people from their money. Just as susceptible to grifters as the boomer MAGA crowd and this makes me sad ngl.
