I may have become a target for mutual aid "Palestinian" scammers. I have so far not been fooled thanks to looking for posts for ways to tell if someone IS a scammer. However this won't deter me from believing people deserve all the help they can get. It's just very disheartening and disappointing that somehow there will always be brain dead, non empathetic, inbred, degenerate scammers willing to take advantage of other peoples kindness. But I'm not shocked.
Don't be discouraged, there's definitely still good people out there. Just be wary, but be kind.

How to spot a scam blog
A very simple guide to figuring out if the blog messaging you is a scam:
Was you sent an ask within some time of sharing a specific type of post such as a trending topic or subject? - Usually scam accounts target particular posts and will spam asks to everyone who shared it. The ask may relate to certain events going on or more. These asks are always sent to many users all at once so itâs suggested to tumblr search part of the ask and see if its been sent by other accounts labeled as a scam or accounts with similar style.
Is the account relatively new? - More often than not, the accounts sending the asks are about a week old or even newer. They havenât been made too long ago and often send asks within hours of being made. If you have timestamps turned on, youâll be able to see the date something was posted. A fresher account is usually not going to be one whoâs finding you unless they are searching tags and saw your blog.
How many posts are on the account? - Scam accounts rarely have many posts on their blogs beyond the initial pinned post. All their posts, being very few are very little, are most often just posts from a trending topic they looked up or a popular tag they decided to look through. They will share only a few and then make no further posts. This is to pad out their blog to make it look used but itâs easy to see how new the blog is if you scroll to the end.
Are the shared posts fitting a theme? - Scam accounts try to share posts based on the scam theyâre trying to run. This means theyâll share posts related to the topic of their choosing and then stop once theyâve shared a few. Most of these posts come from the OP themselves and not from someone the blog is following though in rare cases theyâll find a person to reblog from so they donât look suspicious.
Are the reblog dates accurate? - If you use timestamps, find a post the blog shared and check âOther notesâ and see if the reblog date matches the date that is listed on the blog itself. Often, scammers will backdate posts to make them look much older then they really are in an attempt to deceive people into thinking theyâve used tumblr for months or years.
Is the url auto-generated? - Not always seen from a scam account, but scammers often just use auto-generated usernames because itâs quick and easy to do. But real accounts may have these too. Itâs just a thing to keep in mind.
Is the url familiar or similar to one youâve seen before? - Scammers often try to copy their older accounts by using usernames based around previous scam attempts. It becomes obvious after about a while and usually makes it easy to figure out the scammer is back again. This isnât always from scam accounts as regular accounts may do this for reasons.
How often do you get asks? - If you barely get asks and suddenly keep getting mutual aid asks itâs very likely youâre just a scammers latest target and theyâll keep spamming asks. This means youâll consistently get the same style of asks from a brand new account that shouldnât know you unless they found you in tags. You will keep getting these asks on a daily basis. You will eventually always get these asks.
Did they request you to message them directly? - On rare occasions a scam account will want you to send them a direct message and then theyâll just ask you for thousands of dollars on the spot.
Does your bio say no mutual aid asks? - Scammers donât read/donât care they will ignore that and send you asks anyway that wonât stop them.
Short version: More often than not the blog asking you for money is a scam if you donât usually get asks for money from brand new accounts.

Some quick tips to spotting accounts that are pretending to be a Palestinian needing mutual aid. Please keep in mind that not all of them are scam accounts, and that some may legitimate blogs who just arenât too knowledgeable on how tumblr works. This guide is based around what I go by when checking certain blogs and usually itâs a quick giveaway the blog is a scam.
1. You was sent the ask as someone who regularly shares Palestine related content such as regular news updates of posts by other Palestinians who are regularly giving updates. You may also get these asks from sharing a popular post that is from the Palestine tag. If you post often about Palestine, you will always start getting these asks. These askers donât care if you state donât send the asks. They will anyway. Unfortunately minors also get sent asks.
2. The ask has odd formatting such as having odd quotation marks in it or unusual formatting that may indicate itâs been edited and copied from somewhere else. Often the ask is the same thing as the post itself minus a link to a donation site. These asks rarely change so searching it should pull up if itâs been sent to other bloggers.
3. The account is almost always a few days old or a week old or long depending on how often they have sent asks.
4. The blog has a few Palestine related posts or posts from random tags reblogged to pad out length and then no more. They will have no original posts besides the pinned post while occasionally answering asks that they may have received but otherwise nothing else and no further updates given either.
5. They may have a Linktree link that is called âGoFundMeâ as if indicating they have a GoFundMe there. However, they donât. When clicked on, the Linktree actually goes to a PayPal account whose name may not even match the one their supposed name is. Theyâll say itâs a friend, but itâs just the same person not someone else. Youâll see this same name across multiple accounts after a while usually giving away itâs not legitimate even under a different theme.
6. The text used by the blogs are often real stories stolen from legitimate fundraisers and searching parts of it in your preferred search engine should pull up the sources. These sources make no mention of a tumblr account either or donât have the PayPal account associated with them in the info. Scammers often impersonate a real person in need and will ignore you if you show them the source they copied from.
6. Legitimate Palestinians often link to their own GoFundMe posts that their friends have set up or post links to other social platforms they are found on. They will regularly post updates when possible, post sources to support them when necessary, and also generally have some method of verifying their legitimacy. They may often share links to support others as well or give links to charities that have been shown as reliable. They will have more original posts than just a single pinned one and regularly speak to other tumblr accounts beyond just an ask. Please donât bother them with asks about possible scam accounts. There are many guides out there that can do that for you if you search.
7. Scammers donât know anything about Palestine and will often have trouble once you ask them anything beyond the mutual aid post. They donât know the languages decently and you can tell it pretty easily if youâre one who uses it regularly. Whatever the scammers use is often just copied off the site they got the post from.
8. These scammers can and will use names stolen off real Palestinians to look more legitimate and trustworthy. They change names constantly once one of their PayPal accounts is shut down.
Please donât let these scams deter you from sending support where it needs to go. Even if you canât donate personally, there are other ways to help. If you are sending money, please make sure that itâs going to where itâs needed and the place itâs sent has been verified accordingly. If you find a blog is a scammer, and have been able to prove it, please make sure to alert anyone sharing the post and report the account.

instead of continuously over-donating to ao3 when those running the site are racist zionist sympathisers who shut down support of palestine from its volunteers 1 / 2 (among myriad other issues that u should NOT be funding) please direct your attention to these incomplete fundraisers for people in gaza and various tangible operations doing work. this is a call that if u have donated even a cent to ao3 to a) match that in your donations to palestinians/causes and b) stop donating so uncritically and unconditionally to ao3, pressure them. id like to direct u to @end-otw-racism

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.
Even if I did have the resource to help I wouldn't with your scams. I will not donate to a person who scams others and lies about "needing aid". It is disgusting, and unfair to the people that ACTUALLY need financial help. You do not deserve aid and help from people if this is what you do with it. Fuck you and fuck your manipulation.
Shout out to @coyoteemoji for the heads up from their post and reblogs.

abstract and modern art haters are sooo snobby like klein literally Created an entirely new pigment and then painted a canvas in a way where the brush strokes wouldn't be visible. the insinuation that people with no skill could reproduce that is so annoying because unless you are skilled at color mixing and painting you definitely couldnât lmao
