If some random 3 day old blog comes into your inbox begging for money, it's a scam. It's very easy to see it's a bot if you scroll back on their blog and it's been up for less than a week and there are no personal posts or links to other social medias. Their bios are usually very basic.

Most of their asks are exactly the same with very slight variations in phrasing. They also have dodgy links which are often labelled GoFundMe or Linktree but actually direct to a Paypal, often with a completely different name/picture to what's on the blog.

It's exactly the same as those vet/medical bill scams that were around before, except the fucking vultures who run those fucking things have realised that hijacking the genocide in Palestine is a much more effective way of farming donations right now because it's a "current issue".

Please be suspicious of any stranger (ie bot and/or scammer) that comes into your inbox begging for donations. Money given to those parasites is money taken from people who actually needed it. Make sure you report spam blogs who send those kind of asks.

Omfg. Yeah sure go for it

Thanks! Hope your day was ok too ^^

When I was in the Sonic fandom I had an anon repeatedly make threats about taking me to court so this is one a bit of a let down tbh
