Scam - Tumblr Posts
Jabalia Rehabilitation Society is the only institution in the northern Gaza Strip that provides services to a large group of people with disabilities, especially those with hearing disabilities. It is considered a center for health, psychological and educational support in Jabalia camp that is no less important than government institutions. It is considered one of the contributing and supporting institutions alongside the government health and educational centers in the camp and shares the burden and community services with those centers.
Since the beginning of the war on Gaza on October 7, the institution has been a center for sheltering thousands of displaced civilians, especially those with disabilities and their families who benefit from the institution's services. However, after the Israeli occupation forces entered Jabalia camp for the second time in the war on May 12, they destroyed and burned all the buildings and facilities of the association after it had been a shelter for thousands of displaced people.
Uh
um
Sadly got my first scammer, who was asking for a commission or rather a big ahh proyect. I'm a small artist so I was actually pretty hopeful about having this opportunity but just with some research I could see what was actually going on.
I knew it was a scammer because they have never interacted with any of my works, they also haven't followed me for any reasonable amount of time for it to actually make sense that they want sucha a big project from me. Asking me about where i come frome/where I am is nonsensical because it is an easy information that can be easily read in my description. Also the fact that they aren't who they say they are, their whole account is sketchy, who follows other scam accounts, who always comment "you just won an IPhone dm me for 'xxx'" type of shi.
So in conclusion this is very discouraging but through this post i just hope to bring awareness to this type of ppl and to exempt anyone of loosing their time on this type of stuff.
Got the same ask myself, thanks for doing the research
I urgently need a new wheelchair. My current one is uncomfortable and impractical for daily use. Despite makeshift fixes, it's still inadequate. I've found a suitable replacement priced at $952.00, but it's beyond my budget. While my father offered to cover half, I still need assistance. Any donation, no matter how small, would greatly help in securing this essential mobility aid.
im not in a position where i can donate right now
can you reblog this with the link to the donation site so people can use it if they see this post
edit:do not support this, i was suspicious so i put the profile through a reverse image search and this article came up, as well as others from a similar time, as well as the robotic behaviour of liking as soon as i had posted, but not reblogging with the link as i had asked
I just got a scam mutual aid ask that was very obviously fake aftee checking the tumblr. Anyone that uses cancer as a form of sympathy pleading for spamming is disgusting. The ask was very obviously fake, they had like 6 or 7 different types of cancer listed out, and when I checked the tumblr most of the reblogs were other mutual aid posts (most of the mutual aid posts that were reblogged looked legit, which is a common tactic scammer use to try to make thier own 'mutual aid' post look fine) and porn bot posts.
If youre gonna fucking spam dont use cancer as a sympathy excuse. Its fucking disgusting.

The user "Hypnon" on Niteflirt is stealing/reselling other creators' work, including mine
Hey, it's been a bit. Life is lifing right now so I've been on hiatus for a few months but popping back to give a lil warning to anyone this concerns. Niteflirt wasn't a site I'd ever heard of, but I've had 2 people message me in the last 2 weeks informing me that they'd bought a file from this user which turned out to be one of mine, revoiced. (I presume by AI, or else his delivery sucks.) He's charging about 20-25$ for the files he takes, which is absurd when you consider they're free already but I'm guessing the community who use Niteflirt (mostly) don't use WarpmyMind, Soundcloud, Tumblr. etc., because otherwise I'm not sure how he'd have gotten away with it for so long. I'm assuming his entire catalog is stolen, but lack the relevant experience to tell. There's not much I can do to actually get his page taken down or anything - I'd need to file what's effectively a legal copyright claim with the company, and I'm not super comfortable giving details like my name, my address, etc. in conjunction with the Jockout moniker right now - so I'm just giving a warning for anyone here who DOES use niteflirt, be very careful who you buy from and be aware that there are 100% assholes out there who are more than happy to rob you of 20-25$ using someone else's work. The fact that something I produced and put out for free is being resold and earning more profit than I ever have from this hypnosis gig sucks balls, but I guess it's inevitable. Or something. (Actually I'd never heard of this happening before so Murphy's Law I guess.) Not sure if there's any point even posting this tbh. Again, I'd never heard of Niteflirt before, so in my head it's not somewhere... relevant? But clearly it's got users, and 3-4 people have already been scammed by a prick using my files as a base for his theft so like, better I say something than nothing.
Hello this a long shot call, am Taheera Abdallah a citizen of Palestine. I am here to request for your support to help get my insulin, I was diagnosised with type 1 diabetes and due to current situation in Gaza I'm unable to get my insulin injection as a result I'm here begging for little financial support to help me purchase insulin for this week
My donation link is available on my pinned post
Just a warning, this is a scam
My family is still staying in half of the church that wasn’t affected by the bombing because there is nowhere else to stay other than tents. They are limited to one small meal a day and one shower a week. They are sleeping on the floors, but no one can sleep since there is bombing everywhere around them. Even when there is no bombing, they can still hear the loud buzzing sound of the military planes above them, which would keep anyone who hears it awake. Along with everything, My grandma has diabetes and osteoporosis, so she can’t walk. She has to take her insulin medication along with many others; however, she has run out of many of her medications.” Am on my knees requesting for donation. Target $450
Scammers seem to quite like this inbox of mine
if you are curious, this is in fact a stolen story, you can, however donate to a real fundraiser here. Thank you for your time
Hello, this is a longshot saving life call, I am Imonje from Gaza. I am here to request for your support to help get my insulin, just an injection for today to save my life please I beg. I was diagnosed with Latent Autoimmune Diabetes and due to the current situation in Gaza I'm unable to get my insulin injection as a result I'm here begging for little financial support to help me purchase insulin for this week. My donation link is attached in the pinned post, I might have sent this ask to you earlier but kindly consider donating and sharing. This is the only option I have at the moment to save my life from going into a coma.
have you sent this from 5 different accounts? Sorry but your scam is obvious and I’ve gotten the same story in my inbox multiple times. Profiting from peoples sympathy and kindness is a horrible, horrible thing to do
I'm Mary 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.
This is a fairly new account but I’m pretty sure you can’t use PayPal in Gaza. I’m gonna say this is a scam.
(looked it up. You can’t use PayPal in Gaza)
Hello sorry for an ask. 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.
Do NOT take my support for granted. Just because you see me support REAL and VERIFIED blogs DOES NOT mean I’m going to support your scam. Or have you not seen the amount of scam asks I’ve gotten already? Scammer scammer scammer. Very fed up with these.
I am amazed at the number of apparent Gazans leaving messages in my inbox for donations who speak and write absolutely perfect English; like better English than most North Americans. Sigh. Block. Block. Block.
Reblog to save trans lives
Don't Fall for this scam.
Transgender community, please please please do NOT use this product! It will kill you if used, please do not use it whatsoever.
Please reblog and spread the word
I just got a weird follower. Their page screams scams. Please don't click strange links, my friends. Especially something like this. they were blocked and reported
The Tumblr in question is mydailydiscounts
PSA TO ANYONE FOLLOWING: The user @/ghostlyforcefeeder01 is a scammer, and will ask you for a telegram or WhatsApp account, most likely wanting to hack your account and look for any bank information to steal from you! They most likely use stolen images to trick people into thinking they’re real
Please spread around! Don’t want a bunch of hopeful gainers looking for ways to get funded for their gains to get scammed :/
not more.. how can there be yet more scams? I always felt there was some truth in this, but..
The whole medical Industry is a scam, I’m not surprised. This is exactly why there’s so much money in pharmaceuticals in the US!
Feeling pretty disheartened right now. I always try to assume the best in people, but I feel like I've been scammed. Time to start making disputes, unfortunately. It’s such a bummer when things like this happen.
Reblogging because this also happened to me😔
Hm. I wonder how many names this scammer is gonna go through before people catch on. Went from Doreen Munyendo to Caroline to Mary to Anne to Doreen Nanjala. Will the real scammer please stand up ?

I assure you that all funds will be strictly used for the evacuation of my sisters and my parents. I will personally bear any additional expenses incurred.Your support will make a significant difference in alleviating the suffering of my family and ensuring that my sisters and my parents receive the care they urgently need. As time ticking away translates to lives lost in Gaza I'm here and ready to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Don't hesitate to reach out and connect with me
an quick amendment to this ask
the person here is a scammer, as I have been informed by the comments of this post of this fact. despite this being a scam, DON'T let this detour from promoting and donating ACTUAL fundraisers.
if you want proof, please read through @kyra45 's blog
please be vigilant and make sure you don't promote people who are profiting from genocide
