Ferris returns after many years to talk to you about something important! This is a PSA I put together for Twitter regarding a surge of vet bill scam posts I’ve been seeing there, and red flags to look out for! I am NOT saying any post asking for help is a scam. What I’m saying is these scams exist, are becoming more common, and to do your due diligence before sharing or donating. Help is a limited resource, so we want to make sure it gets into the right hands. <3
It seems these scams are appearing on Tumblr now too. Here is a great post about this growing problem: https://www.tumblr.com/panspock/708275904833617920/psa-cat-medical-bill-scam
Additionally, on both Tumblr on Twitter, it seems like these scam accounts reblog/retweet a bunch of stuff to look legitimate, but lack much (if any) original posts due to the high amount of turnover - an easy thing to check!

I went on a high stakes time traveling adventure with Wilbur Soot while being chased by Sonic and Knuckles who were calling us slurs (my dream redacted them so all I heard was [slur]). We rode a weird dimension-hopping bus, saved the driver from his evil clones, accidentally shoplifted from an emo store, scammed a liquidation outlet, and fucked up the timeline even worse.

My name is HAMDI AHMED, and I'm a disabled queer Latine. Tragically, my family's evacuation plans from Gaza were thwarted by the loss of my father, our breadwinner, during the genocide. Recently, my mother fell victim to an airstrike in Deir Al-Balah, leaving me without a home. With no income and relying on the kindness of friends, I urgently need to evacuate to Egypt for safety. Any donation, no matter how small, would make a world of difference. Thank you for your support.
Hello there 2-day-old account that couldn't have possibly found me
enjoy your report!
(@kyra45 another one)
welp, since we blocked each other, I will add a tell of them: they are asking for money through Paypal, which is blocked in Palestine

Tim: Oh look, all my dreams have come true, a world where I was never born! *concerned glances all around*
Tim has lived this long for a reason, and that reason is not because he sits on his ass and wallows like a little bitch. It’s because he puts his big-boy stilettos on and gets shit done.
Person: wait, how did you walk all that time on such a severe injury?
Tim: what, you've never had to disassociate completely, retreating into your brain and adopting the mind of a separate persona who is no longer you and is therefore uninjured?
Person:...what...!?
Tim: I've named it the Disconnection Disco Maneuver.
Tim going undercover as a girl: Tim’s doing a run of the full girly pop experience. No pockets, purse full of random shit, pain from heels, and getting lipstick on shit all the time
While normally Tim would run towards the terrified screaming, right now he’s just going to be pretty much useless, so he’s going to make an intelligent decision and proceed in the opposite direction. For his health and safety.
SIKE!
Tim is walking towards the screaming. As per his job description as a whack job vigilante.
Nobody who puts on themed skin-tight Kevlar and flips off buildings is sane (or straight), and Tim likes to make sure he represents his species in all situations.
Tim: it isn't paranoia if they're really out to get you!
Me: ...Tim, they aren't in this universe--
Tim: BUT THEY'RE STILL OUT THERE, AREN'T THEY?!?!
Tim, after stealing a Hello Kitty knife: the packaging said ‘for fruit.’ I’m a fruit, it’s for me. I didn’t steal it, it had my name on it.
Doctor: Name? Tim: Tim. Doctor: Full name? Tim: Timothy but call me Tim. Doctor: Full name? Tim: Timothy Tim McTimmers. Doctor: Tim: Go ahead. Call me on it.
Jason: so why did you have heels in your bag? Tim: just used them while posing as a flight attendant for an 11 hr flight. and then another hour or so to scam some guys at a bar. no big, nothing major 😇 Jason: I need you to know, I understood nothing you just said.
Tim: *monotone* I hate it. Batfam: “Oh shit, sorry. We’ll just take that back-“ Tim: *hisses like a feral cat and hunches around plush with his claws out * Batfam: “…oh! He’s Damian!” Tim: “I hate Jason. Also, he stays here or I will enact the violence.” Batfam: “Yeah, totally Damian.” Tim: “Ra’s can bite the entirety of my ass. Duck that guy and his wierdo desire to get me back!” Batfam: ….. Tim: “Sorry about being all fighty. I’ve just gotten used to people I’m living with randomly trying to stab me.” Batfam: “Damian, did you have an older brother Talia was still keeping from us?” Tim: “Oh please, like this is the first time I’ve gotten poisoned this month,” Batfam: “Damian, please answer your texts before he tries to shiv the nurse again.”
“Oracle: The results are in . . . Tim is NOT your child! Dick: *gasps* Jason: *flips a table* Bruce: I can fix that”

Hi 👋
Pardon me for being this direct, I know times are tough right now but I’m asking for a bit of help for my cat who needs urgent help right now. If you feel it in your heart to help me with this, please do share or maybe boost my post for her as I pinned it on my blog here and I will be eternally grateful! But of course, dont be pressured to help as I understand that you might find this ask sus or inappropriate, just hoping if you’d be so kind, that’s all.. praying that you would consider! Pls send me a message if its fine as I would also at least say thank you for doing us favor. Continue to be amazing! 🫶🏽🫶🏽
Reminder if you get this kind of message; THERE IS NO CAT, THERE NEVER WAS A CAT, AND THERE WILL NEVER BE A CAT.

If you receive a text claiming to be from USPS, asking you to click on a link or copy/paste a link, DONT DO IT
Tumblr media
It is a phishing scam attempting to get your personal information. USPS doesn’t send links. This type of scammer disguises the text as being from some government agency and requiring your information for something.
Verify the name, USPS customer service doesn’t use hotmail, and is also called USPS customer service.
If you get a text like this, report it as junk. Even if you ARE expecting a package, USPS won’t send you a link.
Report it and move on.
These screenshots are from the official USPS website, informing on how to report these scams.

Reblog to spread the word, scams like this steal your personal information which is VERY DANGEROUS
Reblog and tag your mutuals so they know to avoid these scams, and what to do if they receive a text like this.

I'll not Expose them as it's not my place to do it but I'm very very disappointed. But if you guys see this REBLOG !!!
I'm surprised their whole acc is about exposing scammers ?
weird how they are reflecting now .
Hmm if busy then why do exchange ?
Being busy is not a crime and focusing on your personal life is not a crime . Then why coming in DM and offering exchange ????
Because if you're agreeing and asking first you definitely should give your exchange first ???
It's the minimum curtsy !!!!! But ignoring someone when promising to give exchange is not right.
Tumblr media
@thespiritoflife CALL THEM OUT NOW !!! It's ALREADY 4 DAYSSSSS !!!!!
You're too kind Domi to even agreeing in the first place yk . You wanted to help them out but in return you got your energy wasted on wrong people . Always remember I'm here with you 🫂❤️.

Hi there, jovialahmdi! You wanna say anything about all the people you’ve scammed and hurt and how it feels to fake being a victim of war?
Don’t trust this user yall, they’re a well known liar about being a Palestine citizen and victim in order to get some sort of financial gain and benefit from sending out massive amount of asks and profiting off of those that at unaware.

I got scammed yesterday on Twitter.
I'm not breaking a sweat about it. It won't have long term consequences for me, but please for all Artists and Buyers, if you're making a Deal for a Commission or to buy an Adopt DON'T use Friends&Family.
I know the extra Fees can be annoying, but it saves you a lot of trouble in case of Scamming. Adapt your Prices for the Fees (for the Artists) and stayed save!
