Hey, I just got an ask from @/almostoptimisticsheep asking for donations to support their family in Gaza. The linktree link on their pinned post that takes you to a paypal donation page for Jeff Owino. I saw one of your posts mentioning his name as a scammer and thought I'd bring it to your attention ASAP. The account was only created a day ago and is seemingly asking for $700 in donations.
Thank you v much for this info. Yes, this one's a scammer. Jeff Owino is a known scam paypal account. They are also listed in Key's list of active scammers pretending to be from Palestine here. Please block and warn your friends and followers. Instead of their scam post, please consider boosting and donating to a legit fundraiser that's been vetted by other Palestinians:
Yousef and Mohamed Moner's fundraisers which are currently v low on funds and has little to no traction
Madleen Abu Jayyab's fundraiser to help especially her son Mohammed who's eye was injured from a rocket shrapnel
Or you can choose any one from @/el-shab-hussein's rotating list of priority fundraisers here
(Edit: scammer is now at @/severepandacomputer)

So, which one is it? Are you Radyouthpeanut? Are you Massivepersonagardener? Are you Deafeningeagleland? Or are you Almostoptimisticsheep? Because apparently you’ve been doing this a LOT. I hope you understand what it is you’re doing. Attempting to gain money off of a genocide that is CURRENTLY HAPPENING is so morally fucking awful. I would tell you to go fuck yourself, but you aren’t worth the pleasure of that. You stand at the gallows and pocket coins from the purses of those trying to stop it. Stop trying to earn a quick buck off mass murder.

!!BEWARE OF SCAMMER ASKS IN YOUR INBOX INCLUDING THE FISHY PALESTINE ASKS!!
Ever since the #Free Palestine movement, unfortunately some really disgusting folks are using these times as a way to take advantage of people's kindness by pretending to be Palestinian victims and refugees.
If you've been getting these kind of asks in your inbox something along the lines of "Palestine" and a BIG tangent of their life but the blog looks fishy and the profile pic looks stolen? yeah that's too good to be true.
literally no actual person that genuinely needs help is going to directly ask a random person like you in your inbox, a real person that needs help makes a post in general with all of their donation links and never directly asks anyone.
Also majority of the time these scammers will steal real victim's pictures to make it look legit!!! Don't fall for it!!! Donate to actual places and real people!!! PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!

Currently known accounts of another scammer pretending to have a family in Palestine or claiming they are in Palestine. Please report these accounts and don’t give them money. They are not people needing legitimate help their scammers trying to take advantage of the situation. Their images and story have been stolen off a real fundraiser and are confirmed not to be affiliated with the creator of it. I’ll also add additional accounts that are scamming in a similar fashion.

Sharing this here, because that's where i saw people sharing about this "free link to click" -> PLEASE STOP CLICKING IT AND SHARINGIT. IT'S A SCAM, AS SAID BY THE UNRWA ITSELF (see photo of the screenshoted mails here)
Tumblr media
(For reference, the UNRWA is the organisation where this free link site said the money was going!)
PLEASE SHARE AND RB
(if you have any questions, please use the comments so i can answer in one place)
Edit: the "/fr/" in the url is because of the language settings (french being my native language). It's not a different website... There's only one. (please look how urls work if you're not sure 🥲 /nm)
Edit 2: so i found out that people were reblogging a rb that called me a liar out of nowhere, and claiming the screenshots are fake...
Here's my last reblog on the subject, in which i posted all the emails one by one.
As i said in the last comments, i'm personally gonna take unrwa's word as is, and not click or share that shitty link anymore. Better safe than sorry. You do you. But whatever you do, i DO NOT appreciate being called a liar behind my back and people getting misinformations on the issue. I'm an honest person. I don't know what more i can do here, but i've done all what i could. Peace out. Bye.

I am putting out a warning for the blog @/blktransdyke for very likely being a scammer, and is/was the same person behind the now deactivated blog @/raisedeyebrowemojii (who is also very likely a scammer) for the following reasons:
Usage of a very common story one particular scammer constantly reuses across multiple blogs (which i've talked about here before)
Several typical scammer red flags: Their blog has only existed since April 2023, and they started asking for money immediately. The blog only posted for the month of April and then did not post for months only to come back in January 2024, and start asking for money again
Their blog is sparse of anything denoting a personality, personal interests, friendly interactions with mutuals or followers, aesthetic choices and/or blog customization, and the only thing they reblog is also mentioned in their bio, thus indicating a falsified persona for a scam blog. (Ex: they say they are a lesbian, and so have a few posts about lesbianism, and the rest of the posts are almost exclusively fundraising posts)
Inconsistent information
Suspicious behavior on twitter, which was also noted and called out on twitter
Claiming to be homeless, but apparently rejected the non-monetary aid from another user who offered to house them
Claims to be "Indigenous" but then misuses the terminology of their alleged tribe (thus likely indicating racefaking for a scam persona)
No proof of their claims
Posting the same personal information as two other suspicious accounts while call three claim to be different people (& this is connected to the raisedeyebrowemojii blog)
& you know me, I always come with screenshots and proof. Image descriptions will be available in Alt text. (& please bear with me, some screenshots lead to imgur due to tumblr limiting images to 10).
First off, the suspicious story that is often reused by one particular scammer:
There's a scammer on here that ALWAYS uses the same story of:
Claiming to be trans,
claiming to be homeless,
Says they are homeless because they were/are being kicked out by a bigoted/homophobic/transphobic parent
Shows a screenshot of a IM or text message correspondence between them, and their alleged parent, where the parent is being abusive, and the messages always very concisely, very conveniently mention what is happening
Usually says they are disabled in some way (though before they would usually claim to be autistic)
The blktransdyke blog has all five of these things.
Im putting the rest under the cut because this is gunna get long, buckle in.
Secondly, inconsistent information, rejecting non-monetary aid, & suspicious Twitter activity (& this is also connected to the creation date of their tumblr account, which you'll see in a moment):
The blog blktransdyke uses two methods of recieving money, gofundme, which is linked on their main page and is run by someone named "Avalon Smith" (& we can assume this is the name they prefer to go by, because they have the tag "avalon speaks" on their blog), and this gofundme account says its based in York, Ontario. And the second is paypal, which uses a different name, which is "Ashton Jones" & the paypal url of "/ashtonjonesy". Below, the first screenshot on the very left, is a screenshot of the first post they made asking for money on April 14th 2023 while linking to the gofundme account, and then the second screenshot to the right is the blktransdyke's more recent donation post asking for money to be sent to the ashtonjonesy paypal account, and then here is a link to a screenshot of the gfm run by "Avalon Smith".
Tumblr media
The consistencies are odd: and while one might think that "Ashton Jones" is an older name or a dead name, but if you search up "ashtonjonesy" in a search engine, you get two results: one leads to a post made by a now deleted twitter/X account with the url "blktransdyke" while using that same paypal (so we can assume this is the same person from twitter/X) and the second is ANOTHER twitter account, still up, that is completely different, also using the twitter url that is the same as the paypal username (/ashtonjonesy) who also claims to be homeless & kicked out by a transphobic parent, but says they have different pronouns than blktransdyke & seems to be transmasc, not a binary trans lesbian that blktransdyke claims to be. Below is screenshots of that.
Tumblr media
But what's more troubling: the second twitter account @/ashtonjonesy on twitter/X says that they were 24 years old as of July 2021, while blktransdyke claims that they are 21 as of January 2024. So this can't be the same person using different names and twitter accounts, and yet curiously both are using the exact same story (both claim they are trans, homeless, and disabled & using a wheelchair), and both use the exact same paypals, while are apparently two completely different people. And again, we know that there is a scammer who repeatedly reuses the exact same story details across various accounts
And then, more concerning, that if you search up "blktransdyke" on twitter, while the original posts by the account are gone due to the account being deleted, you get results of various Twitter/X users retweeting the account blktransdyke's post, which was them asking for money. The bottom screenshots are related to the next point: highlighted in yellow you can see someone offering blktransdyke a place to stay, and they live in the same province, and the second screenshot, highlighted in blue you can see that on April 12th 2023, a twitter user accused them of being a scam. We can assume the blktransdyke account wasn't taken down yet that day due to this user encouraging other users to report them.
Tumblr media
Recent tumblr creation date:
The oldest and first post made by the blog blktransdyke on tumblr was posted on April 14th, 2023. And as you can see, that was two days after the blktransdyke twitter/X account was accused of scamming. So the blktransdyke twitter account was accused of scamming, then was either deleted or self deactivated, and then the blktransdyke tumblr account showed up immediately after that while using the exact same paypal and story. Which brings us to the other half, which is
Rejecting aid
On this screenshot we can see in a retweet of what the original blktransdyke twitted/X account originally said in the post, and that on August 22nd 2022, they claimed they were still homeless, so apparently they didn't take up the person in Toronto who was literally offering them a place to stay on September 2nd, 2022 (which you can see in the screenshot above, on the second last tweet result to the right).
Claims of Indigeneity & inaccurate terminology:
This one is more minor compared to the other evidence listed here, but in blktransdyke's bio, they claim to be "Inuit" & "Afro-Indigenous": the problem here is that "Inuit" is the plural form, its uncommon that Inuit refer to themselves as this in the singular pronoun because it is grammatically incorrect and an actual Inuk would know that, and instead will use "Inuk" to refer to themselves, but blktransdyke says they are "Inuit". So this terminology is inaccurate coming from a person claiming to be "Indigenous". & just in case they change it, here is a screenshot if their current profile description. Moving on,
Posting the same information as another blog
This is where things get more wild. I have reason to believe that the now deleted blog @/raisedeyebrowemojii ("Jay") is and was a scammer who befriended multiple people to gain trust, and that blktransdyke is the same person as them due to the information that both blogs posted. A couple things to note here is that 1. Raisedeyebrowemojii claimed that they were suffering due to a terminal kidney disease, 2. ALSO stated that she was escaping an abusive situation, was a lesbian, was homeless, and was victimized by a homophobic/transphobic parent, and 3. Had not posted anything since June 2023, before eventually being deactivated. Some of the users "Jay" befriended worried that she may have died due to this apparent kidney disease (which you can find in the tumblr search if you look up that tumblr username). Now, I can't find any paypal that "Jay" posted, but they DID post several other links allegedly that were being used for their donation posts
In this post, graciously saved on webarchive for your viewing pleasure, on May 16th 2023, @/raisedeyebrowemojii claimed that they needed a mattress, and also linked a patreon for allegedly their "best friends'" and "caregiver's" cat, named Trouble 📌. Put a pin in that, we'll come back to it. Below is a screenshot of that post where they linked the patreon. Notice that it's a brown, striped tabby cat. And here is the patreon link (which is still up) that the @/raisedeyebrowemojii blog linked for their "best friend's cat" that was apparently meant to be used to fundraise for their day to day life bills. It doesn't have a lot of patrons or followers. Below is a screenshot of the link I gave for webarchive talking about fundraising for the mattress, and the cat patreon.
Tumblr media
Also note, that neither this post by raisedeyebrowemojii nor in the patreon does it link to any other site for content on "Trouble the cat". It vaguely mentions a private Facebook page, but doesn't give any links.
And the blog @/blktransdyke posted this video as well as THIS video, and in both videos, they claim that this brown, striped, tabby cat is their "best friend's cat" 📌. Below are screenshots showing its the same cat, including the same black and yellow blanket.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So both the blogs @/raisedeyebrowemojii AND @/blktransdyke posted a cat that looks very similar: it's brown, a tabby, and striped, and both said that this cat was their "best friend's", and raisedeyebrowemojii said that this cat's name was "Trouble" & referred to them as "Trouble the Cat" in the linked Patreon allegedly belonging to their "best friend". Except here's the bigger problem.
Trouble the Cat is already an existing open, publicly available facebook page with 27K likes and 42K+ followers, and it has its own YouTube page, tiktok account, and Instagram. And if you look at the far top right video on the second screenshot showing the youtube channel, it's the exact same video that appears on the blktransdyke tumblr page. It's the exact same brown, striped tabby cat, in the exact same grooming position, on the same black and yellow blanket, with the same thumbnail, and the exact same caption.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So both Raisedeyebrowemojii AND blktransdyke posted the exact same cat that allegedly belongs to their "best friend", and both of them claim to be homeless, trans, disabled, and being kicked out by a transphobic parent.
& if you go to the links, the official trouble the cat's first instagram post was made on December 23rd 2022, its oldest youtube video was posted on December 23rd 2022, and the facebook says it was made on March 30th, 2021, HOWEVER, the account says they've been active since 2008, but made a post on November 15th, 2023 that said they'd been hacked and made a NEW account, and furthermore, on November 7th 2023, they ALSO made a post saying that multiple other accounts were trying to impersonate them. So, side note, this account could have been hacked by the scammer.
The raisedeyebrowemojii linked that cat patreon on May 17th, 2023, and the oldest video that the blktransdyke posts of that cat is on January 6th, 2024. Both therefore, could have plausibly and likely did, steal these cat videos because all accounts of the troublethecat social media accounts existed BEFORE either raisedeyebrowemoji OR blktransdyke posted them. I find it highly unlikely that both of these blogs had the exact same "best friend".
And if this was true and that this really WAS raisedeyebrowemojii's "best friend" and their cat, then why didn't raisedeyebrowemojii blog link to the other official troublethecat social media accounts, especially since they were so popular, and they claimed they were using this patreon for fundraising for bills? And why didn't the official social media accounts ever say anything about raisedeyebrowemojii's patreon if they were "best friends" trying to fundraise? Surely, an account with 42K followers would have more than a few willing patrons that could have helped their alleged situation.
Therefore, neither raisedeyebrowemojii OR blktransdyke are actually affiliated with this highly popular social media account of "Trouble the Cat" and BOTH of them stole from this account to scam, and both accounts wrre/are run by the same person.

Hello, am really sorry for sending you private message concerning my request in the ongoing situation in Rafa. The continuous bombardment and the ongoing genocide pose a significant threat to their well-being. What pains me even more is that due to the lack of medications in Gaza, my Mom, who is a type 2 Diabetis patiant and was scheduled for an urgent eye surgery, have had no access to insulin or any medical care for the past 3 months. Some of my family members sought refuge in the southernmost part of Gaza (Rafah) in tents. However, my parents, and sisters have no alternative place to stay, forced to remain in the Nusierat refugee camp, which is now the subject of continuous severe bombardment since christmas started.” Am on my knees requesting for your donations. Please help where possible.
You are a scammer and are literally the scum of the earth

Greetings to everybody. Could someone please aid me and my little girl with food funds? We have not had something to eat since yesterday afternoon. I am sorry for appearing poor, but aid is required. We don't have enough money to purchase food, so any amount that you can spare will help.
Oh I'm sorry
Did you think I was born fucking yesterday?
I know a goddamn donation scam when I see one. I've been on Tumblr for a LONG time
@glichsworld @chain-draws-stuff I know you guys tagged me out of the goodness of your heart, but you need to know that this post, and posts like it, are in fact scams
Lets go over some evidence shall we?
The blog was made literally like 2 Days ago. You can see when posts are created if you turn on the Timestamp feature in your settings. That in it of itself is not bad BUT THE VERY NEXT POST (if you scroll all the way to the bottom) is a reblog from a PORN BOT SCAM
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Every post after it has been either posts from tags that are currently trending or they're reblogs of actually legitimate donation campaigns
2. Heres a helpful tip, copy a line from this ask and put it into Tumblr's search bar and scroll a little bit
Oh would you look at that
Tumblr media
The exact same message from an entirely different account. Theres even the extra space between the "I am" and "sorry"
3. Hey news flash scammer, you aren't doing yourself any favors when you literally send me 2 of the same asks DIRECTLY after someone tags me
Tumblr media
Yeah, you aren't slick
And the fact you're faking going hunger AND going after minors on Tumblr, is disgusting
Explode
(Glich and Chain, I hope you know that none of this anger is directed at you! I know you did this because you legitimately thought this was a real donation post. I hope you guys have a great day and I hope you learned something new about Tumblr alskdgjls /lh)

Everyone please block and report tumblr user @/rescueplease, they are a filthy scammer
their most recent posts have been copied word-for-word from two different sources:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
judging from their syntax and typing style in their more original posts, I have a very strong suspicion that this is another one of Laura Deramas' scams. They also use Zelle for their money-transfer account, which a lot of past Laura scams have used.
they don't seem to have made an actual fundraising post, probably because they know that they would instantly be found out now that everyone is on high alert against scammers pretending to be Palestinian, but i suspect they have been messaging people directly so as to avoid detection.
If you have been contacted by this blog, please do not donate to them. Block and report.
Edited to add: if this blog sent you a dm and gave you their paypal and zelle links privately, please do post them publicly so we can track the accounts they are using

A very simple quick way to tell if the blog sending you an ask to share their pinned pet post is a scam with timestamps enabled:
They followed you randomly and sent the ask seconds later
The posts before pinned are reblogged minutes apart and are fit to a certain trending theme
They told you to answer PRIVATELY despite their post being public meaning they could be trying to hide their asks
The pinned post is not very old and at best is hours/days/weeks old
Things you should do:
Search the ask in tumblr search to see if it was sent to other users
Search the name on their address to see if it is known to belong to someone who isn’t being truthful and steals fundraisers
Check to see if the fundraiser is copied from Facebook/Gofundme by going to those sites and either searching the pet name or part of the story. Most likely you will locate the source unless it was posted to a private group in which you won’t be able to locate it

Scammer pretending to be a Palestinian v3
Updated post here!
Now running their scam for about 2 months straight, this scammer is known to take their posts from real GoFundMe’s (Examples of used content) and reuse them as their own even going as far as impersonating the real Palestinian who created the original fundraiser. One of the common tactics is that you’ll get their asks if you regularly share Palestine content on your blog. Please check to see how old the pinned post is and see if you find its contents elsewhere if you search part of the post in a preferred search engine. Be aware that the scam accounts listed here are not the owners of any GoFundMe’s and will usually claim they have one pending. Their pfps are almost always images stolen off the fundraisers too.
This post has been remade with better info! Please find it here:
And here is a growing list of names the scammer has used. These may often be reused for different scams later on so keep an eye out for them when you get asks from relatively new accounts:
Nour Samar | maryline lucy | Fred Odhiambo | Jeff Owino | Valentine Nakuti | Conslata Obwanga | JACINTA SITATI | David Okoth | Martín Mutugi | Daudi Likuyani | William Ngonyo | Fred Agy | George Ochieng | BONFACE ODHIAMBO | Sila Keli | John Chacha | benson komen | Alvin Omondi | Jacinta Sitati | Daudi Likuyani | Noah Keter | Faith Joram | Rawan AbuMahady (any PayPal’s using this name are scammers who have stolen it off a real GoFundMe. The real person does not have a PayPal account that they post on tumblr.) | Asnet Wangila | Remmy Cheptau | HAMDI AHMED | Johy Chacha | Aisha Mahmood | Salima Abdallah | Raha Habib | JOSEPH AYUGI
How to report scam accounts: Report -> Something Else -> Illegal uses or Content -> Phishing
Please keep in mind this post isn’t to say all Palestine mutual aid blogs are scams! Rather, this post is meant to explain that there is a scammer pretending to be one and stealing posts from real ones. They will always reblog only a few Palestine posts and then reblog nothing else aside from answering asks.
If you happen to find a new one, please let me know! This is a new version of the previous one.
