Yuulma… that is all 🥺
For years now, scammers have took to stealing info from legit fundraising posts to steal funds from actual users. So what do they do? It's quite simple to explain the process as someone whose been tracking those I've seen or spotted while searching around. Scammers reuse and redo these so often you can usually find a pattern and catch it before you reblog their post. This post is quite long, but should be useful.
tl:dr - An ask to reblog a pinned post is generally a scam related to pets and the pictures used are stolen from other sites and any info the scam post uses was stolen too with only minor adjustments like the scammers own info that may use the name of someone real.
Scammers do as follows:
Saves a pfp from a blogger and copies the blog info from someone else by copy/pasting it and saving it
Turns off asks
Searches a tag to reblog random posts to look relevant, generally about 10
Hides their blog so it can't be seen outside of desktop and archives aren't easy to access
Searches Facebook for publicly accessible posts where pets need help and may seek it from other sites. They will save photos of a cat but also will copy any information from the post or a different post with minor adjustments if needed
Once they have followed those steps, the scammers will then start to find random blogs. Some blogs may be past targets who fell for the scam and as a result may fall for it again. Or in other cases, blogs that have been targeted before by them and answered the ask without finding out its a scam. Some asks sent go as follows.
Hello there! Just wondering if its okay for you to check the post i pinned and reblog/boost it? Im in desperate need of help im really sorry for coming across your inbox (pls answer this privately) only if its ok 😞 thank you and stay safe

The scammer will send several asks at once to many different blogs and wait to see how many will answer and reblog their scam post. They rely on no one looking up the info the post has, because doing so would show that the post is not in good faith and has stolen it's contents from somewhere else. Those who have no searched the post will likely share it and their mutuals will also share it not knowing the post is actually a scam. Often, these scams do get found out fast but unfortunately some will fall for it. It is likely many have donated money before the scam is found out. If you get an ask or see someone reblog a post that looks suspicious, do the following in tumblr search.
Search the username to see if there's any warnings
Paste the ask and see if others got it
See if the listed paypal has pre-existing alerts for it
Checking the blog sending asks will likely show it is a few days old, though some cases may be an older blog that was broken into and reused and repurposed into a scam blog so the actual owner will never know of it happening since they likely abandoned the website.
Once you know a blog is a scam, please alert your followers by explaining it's a scam and detailing why it's a scam by showing blogs the scammer used that are gone now or linking to previous warnings. It's advised to then report the scam blog like so:
Report -> Something else -> Illegal Uses or Content -> Phishing
This is currently the only way to deal with scammers. I hope this info is detailed enough and useful to any who find it.
“sorry reo, in the end wanting to be the world’s best wasn’t as strong a feeling as my fear of BEING SEPARATED FROM YOU.”
i am literally crying bro, nagi really just wanted to be with reo forever and play football. the endless apologies and reo saying not to apologize as SOON as nagi was abt to say sorry for breaking their promise. SHUUTUUT UPP😭😭😭 not strong enough for this lord
after nagi’s river of apologies… then reo apologies for everything… THEN NAGI SAYING HE WAS HAPPY BEING BY HIS SIDE WHATTTT. the tear drop on the grass with them reflected on it is insane… and the speech bubbles being all wobbly for reo’s words can’t do this no more ,,, voy a gritar :)
bro also reo looks so beautiful crying what sorry- heartbreaking tho…
the icing on the cake was nagi calling his time with reo the treasure of his life. the flashbacks … omg the flashbacks literally they cannot be separated from each other they need each other so so so bad… nagi holding his wrist not his gloved hand BYEEEE. Too Many Tears came out this chapter it is actually devastating wow.
deadass left my lecture at school cause i was literally crying reading this . these two have such a HARD EFFECT ON ME DONTTALKTOME and i still crying.
A hero without a cape
please dont stop talking about palestine . i do not trust israel and there has been multiple ceasefires theyve completely ignored . if we do happen to see iof soldiers leave and no longer occupy palestine , they would still need to rebuild . this includes medical aid and addressing airborne diseases , finding displaced families and reuniting them , etc ... their entire infrastructure needs to be rebuilt so please do not forget about palestine and do not let the US take credit for their liberation .
ways haikyuu ships might react to someone assuming they were in a relationship part 2 bc exactly one person cared and that is all I need:
bokuaka: Bokuto would like make it a scene by accident. Like really loudly would echo back "Me and Akaashi, dating?!" and make everyone look. He would go on about what an awesome boyfriend he would make if he were but forget to actually deny it. Akaashi meanwhile would probably immediately, internally panic, and start talking at 1000 words a minute explaining exactly why they're not dating and the real nature of their relationship and he would not succeed in convincing the stranger.
tsukkiyama: Yamaguchi normally just laughs it off and corrects them, but once or twice when he's sure it won't get back to him he's let it slide and let the strange think so. Tsukki almost always way over compensates by scoffing and going on about how uninterested he is in dating, though internally is incredibly embarassed/flustered.
kagehina: Kageyama gets incredibly flustered whenever this happens and starts throwing insults at Hinata to try and prove the opposite, but usually with a very flushed face. Hinata is usually more chill about it and plays it off, but afterwards would ask Kageyama something like: "Isn't it weird that he thought that... could you imagine...? me and you... stupid, right...?" trying desperately to get some kind of validation that will never come.
asanoya: Noya fucking loves it. He doesn't really know why he does, but he'll always correct them and then add something like "haha I'm not that lucky!" or "But if I had a chance!" Asahi, on the otherhand, turns into an absolute panicked mess and frantically begins trying to correct them, hands waving, face bright red, hoping nobody else overheard.
tanakiyo: Tanaka, although secretly very pleased, carefully makes sure everyone is aware that Kiyoko has made it clear they are just friends. After he leaves in his embarassment, Kiyoko then quietly tells them that they'll only be just friends until he graduates.
Just noticed something while using my phone to read the rough translations of the new chapter. Probably not that deep but, the moment I saw Past!Lavi telling Apocryphos he was underestimating humans, I got whiplash all the way back to chapter 115 with Allen vs Tyki. I left the panels under the read more to cover spoilers, but it does make ya wonder. 🤔
Chapter 254:
Chapter 115:
