Hello! hope you are doing well, plz I'm asking for your help. I need $340 for an insulin pump. I have been unable to work full time, and need to get it as soon as possible in hopes of helping my diabetic problems. Any help would mean so much! if you donate or Reblogging my pinned post.🙏
Hi! So… this is a scam!
This person has made many scam accounts already, so please guys be careful with who you donate to! Always check for vetted accounts(in the case of Palestine accounts) and the #scam warning tag, thankfully, I saw that tag because of my curiosity before getting this ask and avoided this scam!
Thanks to every person posting there for taking the time to check these accounts!
Block @sublimewhispersbread they are a commission scammer. How do I know? This was sent to my art blog right after I used the general tags for artists on Tumblr and digital art and then immediately blocked my art account after I question them.
Do not donate. @anonymousscambuster has a list of scammers that make it seem like they’re Palestinians asking for donations
A PLEA FOR HELP: RAISING FUNDS FOR MY SICK GRANDMA.
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
kindly donate forget to share, reblog and donate.
Received:$196
Goal:$450.

PSA 🗣️ another scammer using genAI without disclosing it
pixlgirl has been posting generated AI (targeting fandoms) without disclosing it, passing it off as their genuine art and has apparently scammed at least one person into ‘commissioning’ them. this is a public PSA so yall can block them, and not interact. please do not harass them!
it’s incredibly shitty to be disingenuous while posting AI but even shittier to scam people with it 🤢 stay diligent yall
Comments like this are commission scam accounts/nft bots:
“Are you available for commission? DM me”
“Lovely artwork! DM me if commission open”
“Are your commissions open? DM me”
“I’m interested in purchasing artwork. DM me”
“Amazing work! I want to purchase DM me”
“DM me if commission open”
And so on
I’ve been getting quite a few request from supposed artists who want me to commission them for my story Burdens of the Soul on Fanfiction.net.
As flattering as this may seem, I can’t help but notice a few red flags. These artist always follow or favorite my story and talk about how much they ‘loved it’ but they are often extremely vague about it not even mentioning what they liked about story or don’t even mention tmnt at all. Plus, my story is nowhere close to being popular enough to be receiving the amount of commission messages that I’ve been getting.
I’ve identified at least one of them as scam artist not sure about the others. Here are samples of what I’m seeing in my ff.net inbox:
It’s really annoying getting these messages because it makes it harder to identify real artists who genuinely are seeking commission work.
Anyway, as a PSA, just make sure you do your homework on artists before hiring them for commission work to ensure you don’t get scammed.
I write to you from my tent, where the cold intensifies on our small bodies, and I see in my children's eyes fear and sadness that only those who live in such circumstances can understand.
I used to live a dignified life, filled with peace and tranquility, in a warm home that embraced us. In it, we shared joy and hardship, ate together, laughed together, and dreamed together. The simplest things filled our hearts with happiness.
But on October 7th, everything collapsed. We lost our home, our dreams were shattered, and we became displaced, without shelter to protect our bodies from the harsh cold, and without food to fill our hungry stomachs. There is no water to drink, nor enough blankets to keep our children warm.
We have lived days full of pain and suffering, where hunger, illness, and fear gathered together. We have tried to find a spark of hope in every moment, but life has become a burden that weighs heavily on us with every step we take.
I am Noor Al-Anqar, a mother of three children, the oldest of whom is Hussein, who has not yet turned seven, and yet carries in his heart a love and hope bigger than anything. After we lost everything, my only dream is to provide them with a dignified life. My dream is to provide them with the food that will satisfy their hunger, the milk that will pour peace into their souls, and the warm clothes that will protect them from the bitter winter cold.
But the truth is, I cannot do it alone. Prices have become terrifying, and I have no income to ease the burden of life. So, I write to you today, asking for your help, as you are our only hope.
If you are able to help, please do not hold back whatever you can. And if you cannot donate, a kind word or sharing the campaign could be a lifeline for us.
The campaign is verified by: @90-ghost and @gazavetters My listed number is (#245).

Many thanks to everyone who contributes, even with a kind word or a prayer. You are the hope we continue to cling to.
