Transgender community, please please please do NOT use this product! It will kill you if used, please do not use it whatsoever.

I got my first person asking for a commission and I was so excited only to realize that it was a scam 💀 Heartbroken, distraught, disgusted ✊

‼️SCAMMER ALERT‼️BEWARE DMS

User Spookyblazedreamland tried to scam me when commissioning for an art piece! Be careful if this person approaches you in your DMS!

This was the tail end of our convo, to which he blocked me and left. The name on the email was "Delezka Michelle" if that helps, be safe out there y'all! On the other hand my real commissions are still open <3

Hello! I need medication for life to prevent my lungs from collapsing, this implies permanent treatment with steroids, oxygen therapy, control of oxygen in the blood and antibiotics to prevent the development of bacteria in the lungs.

I'm afraid I have to insist on this because it may be the only way to get my treatment.

I need medication for life to keep my lungs from collapsing, this costs around $700 per month.

Things are really tough on me,I can’t afford. Please donate🖤

Sorry pal, I am in quite a tight spot when it comes to money and can't donate. But I could try to bring awareness to it if you want? Also, it would be nice if you could explain how or where to donate!

Edit: this is actually a scam; the actual patient who needs the money is Allesendra olivero. Unfortunately the campaign is closed but it was here:

Ps: as i don't want to risk anyone supporting the wrong persons i will not answer anything that have to do with donations from now on. Sorry for those who actually need it..

Yeah, these kinds of scams aren't new, attackers will pretend to have reported your account and then direct you to another scammer account to pull your info like this. That to say, please be careful with the kinds of DMs you receive, if it has anything to do with your discord account, check the official sources like the discord main support channels (as much help that may be) , not some random account pretending to be the real deal Also as several people pointed out already, most likely, the original account that targeted yours was also compromised before in a similar attack. and most importantly, remember, be careful, just because you think you can't be caught in one of these, doesn't mean you are completely immune to being scammed.

Hi guys!! just to want you guys know. my discord account (@fwaldorf) has been hacked/compromised. i was a victim of fraud by a user here in the community. under the nickname of BlakeIsHere he was on LazyDuchess discord server and i previously talked to him before in 2022 i think, and we talked about sims and strangetown. 💀I don´t have access to my profile anymore so i can´t show you guys screenshots of the conversation and i didn´t take any since i never thought it would end up in this.

If you can help me with reblogs i´ll be grateful!

He contacted me because he made a "report" thinking i was a scammer since the person who talked to him has a similar photo i had, he told me that i needed to contact austin.elo0305 to make the appeal to my account. You guys probably think i was stupid i really was tbh, i h8 myself because of it but i gave that austin dude access to my profile since i thought he was a official discord member. Then, he threatened me if i don´t pay him for a security key on G2A my bank information will be compromised and i will end up in prision and blockment since i didn´t pay. That scared me, tbh. I pay it. Then, he asked for more and obviously i didn´t pay. He sent my personal bank information and they tried to charge the card but i didn´t had anything there thank god i censored my personal information, ofc

Please, if someone can help me to report to both accounts, BlakeIsHere and the austin.elo0305 i´ll be completely grateful. He is asking for more money for access to my old account 💀

It´s very fucked up that a member of this community made this kind of thing. But okay, people on internet can be this harmful. Please, keep in mind that any member of Discord will not try to change your login information and take care!

I already made the report to my bank and they told me that i needed to contact the page i made the purchase and i´m waiting for a response. I hope i can have my money back. But please, take care. Don´t trust anyone online. I was stupid and i thought this was real, idk why but these things happen.

the conversation ended with this 😭

unlucky scammer... I've been scammed before. should've been a bit earlier

please watch out for people like this who scams... very ballsy. in what world would my paypal send me mail in spam when i put their emails on highlight😭

HEY THE SCAM IS BACK

GUYS SHE CAME BACK

HAHAHAHAHAHA HEEELP IM LITERALLY SOBBING

I see that you took my criticism into account when remaking your scam blog! Good on you! Putting effort into scams how cute!

Unfortunately your story still doesn’t align

Beeeecaaauusseee….?

The pump shown in the photo (to prove that you’re “real”) DOESNT EVEN ALIGN WITH THE UPDATED TIMES NOR THE UPDATED PUMP REFERENCE FOR YOUR STORY HAHAHAHA

GODS IT IS UNREAL you guys will not understand the CACKLE I let out when I got the ask and saw the scam had been UPGRADED??? TEARS. I kid you not.

So uhh, idk maybe you’ll take this criticism into account and come back with a new diabetic woman’s photos hm? Or maybe you’ll come back with that mri scam you had going for a bit no? Gods this is so pathetic it’s hilarious.

♡Howdy Y'all♡

I was diagnosed in February 2019 after being very sick and I weighed 88 lbs. For the last two and a half years I have had to inject insulin 4+ times for day every day, to stay within my blood glucose level.

In December 2020 I was hospitalized and had to have emergency surgery where I had to stay at home for the entire period of my illness without working, and I also had DKA aka Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when your body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones.

Diabetic ketoacidosis develops when your body cannot produce enough insulin. Insulin normally plays an important role in helping sugar (glucose), the main source of energy for your muscles and other tissues, enter your cells. Without enough insulin, your body begins to break down fat as an alternative fuel. This process produces a buildup of toxic acids in the bloodstream called ketones, eventually leading to diabetic ketoacidosis if left untreated.

Three months later in March 2021 I finally got to see an endocrinologist, who specializes in Type 1 Diabetes. Who told me that an insulin pump would be a good device for me?

The device you see in the picture is much needed to control my diabetes.

I was recently approved for an insulin pump that will help me better control my diabetes. Although I am happy that I am approved the hardest part is coming up with the funds to pay for the pump and equipment.

📎Support and donate here.

A donation of any amount will be greatly appreciated even if you can't donate but if you share the story against friends It will help. Thanks to anyone and everyone who is willing to help.

Hello! hope you are doing well, plz I'm asking for your help. I need $340 for an insulin pump. I have been unable to work full time, and need to get it as soon as possible in hopes of helping my diabetic problems. Any help would mean so much! if you donate or Reblogging my pinned post.🙏

Hi! So… this is a scam!

This person has made many scam accounts already, so please guys be careful with who you donate to! Always check for vetted accounts(in the case of Palestine accounts) and the #scam warning tag, thankfully, I saw that tag because of my curiosity before getting this ask and avoided this scam!

Thanks to every person posting there for taking the time to check these accounts!

“I don’t care if it’s a scam I’d rather share it then ignore someone in need” is a phrase I keep seeing.

Who do you think the scammers are impersonating. Who do you think gets ignored when scammers profit. Do you know the money isn’t going to someone in need. It’s going to a liar.

This disgusts me so so much...I don't even know if she is actually facing such miserable conditions but It reaches a point where everything she is saying just sounds made up...As I'm going through her account, all I see is her using her "illnesses" and "trauma" as an excuse for not delivering readings and ill-treating her clients.

She always mentions how she has been tortured in every way possible, like as if she has experienced several lifetimes of suffering in a single lifetime which is JUST NONSENSE.

You tell me? How is she going through all of this and still providing services? If she is going through so much and she knows she has no time, she can just take a break and tell her readers that she will be away for a while...But as a SCAMMER, she is over here, using the VICTIM CARD as much as she can and in the most disguisting way possible

Using such serious matters like R**e, strangulation, illnesses and so on, as a shield to get sympathy and have ur tantrums tolerated is not gonna work...and upon that you are using racism as a shield too..leave those girls alone, no one even asked you about them...it is so embarrassing to even see how you make such shitty excuses so easily...

Do you have any idea how many people out there are actually going through those things, you so easily mention as your problems? Do you have ANY idea how R**e actually affects a woman, Do you? she does not just come back online after that and cuzz at everyone or still continue her services..she needs so much time to heal from that trauma...she would not even talk about it with just anyone because SHE IS ASHAMED. You are over here telling us shit about ur ILLNESSES while other are actually going through them.

Fainting in a hospital and still using your phone, having a crack on ur skull and still using ur phone..having MULTIPLE accidents and somehow...still using ur phone...still providing services...still being able to stay online...STILL....Have some common sense when u make excuses at least...WHAT A SHAME.

Maybe ur doing it for the money so you can pay off hospital expenses but nah, You cannot pile up so many health issues and ACCIDENTS in such a short period of time as your reason for not providing readings properly...How are u active to tell us you cant give us a reading ma'am? maybe use that to tell ur readers, you will be refunding their money and will be discontinuing ur services for a while? but no. Just loot everyone and then use the VICTIM card, classic move.

SERIOUSLY?? delivering the reading, 6 MONTHS AFTER UR CLIENT BOOKED THE READING?? The level of patience ur clients had for you is mind blowing.

PART TWO AND LAST OF MY PREVIOUS SAGA: THE LION THE WITCH AND THE AUDACITY OF THIS BITCH.

READ PART 1 FIRST. https://www.tumblr.com/vamptarotscam/782110684016246784/the-lion-the-witch-and-the-audacity-of-this?source=share

I WILL SHARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IN THIS POST. SHE BELITTLED, INSULTED AND MOCKED HER CLIENT. TW: ABUSE MENTIONS.

SHORT INTRODUCTION FIRST.

Part 1 ended with @vamptarot coming up with new excuses as to why the reading hasn't been delivered yet. Mysterious electricity problems, mysterious illnesses and car accidents and injuries every single month. Interesting.

Now, we are at the end of February, specifically the 21st of February. The reading is yet to be delivered and @vamptarot keeps ghosting her client.

The client is finally starting to speak up for themselves. Wondering where the reading is and asking POLITELY. @vamptarot had the audacity to act out of line again.

"I don't like that you have to reach out constantly either". Then just deliver the service your client paid for, genius.

This is out of line enough as it is.

But now, @vamptarot gets confronted by the client who had THE RIGHT to know where their money went and when their service would be delivered.

AND NOW, THE WORST PART OF THEM ALL: @vamptarot INSULTS HER CLIENT ONCE AGAIN. Insulting their intelligence wasn't enough I see.

"It's yours I don't enjoy": HOW CAN YOU SAY THIS TO A PAYING CLIENT, @vamptarot? This is unbelievably disrespectful. You didn't even offer to refund them, if you hated it so much then why didn't you refund them? Pathetic. More and more excuses to come.

Now, not only does she insult her client but she also keeps bullshitting over and over again. Keeps lying and tries to GUILT TRIP HER CLIENT, mentioning oh so casually how she only has 3 pounds to her name.

Also, handling readings where abuse is supposedly present like this? Despicable. Truly despicable. Shame on you once again @vamptarot.

Notice how it's always the same story with @vamptarot.

She gets confronted about her reprehensible behaviour and all she has to share is another one of her stories which had nothing to do with what the client mentioned. We both know you should have refunded them instead of coming up with new stuff to use as a shield, @vamptarot.

Now, to more interesting stuff.

Once again, ANOTHER CAR ACCIDENT. How many car accidents can a person get into in the span of a few months? Her story keeps changing and changing. Mind you, this is March 02 and March 04.

Obviously the reading DOES NOT get sent for another few days.

YET ANOTHER CAR ACCIDENT.

IJBOL. No comment.

Two things I'd like for everyone to notice.

Calling your client passive aggressive for literally gaslighting them, belittling them and mocking them? Let alone all the lies, vile. @vamptarot be ashamed of yourself, seriously. I doubt you know what shame is at this point.

If you couldn't channel the intensity of the situation how come you haven't refunded them?

The reading got sent on March 7th, six months after the client paid for it, fyi.

THIS IS THE END OF THIS VICTIM'S SAGA.

@vamptarot Do the right thing and refund everyone whom you scammed.

(Will add more as I find them)

Wow this was so fortuitous that I saw this post today because I just got the same comment on my most recent longfic from that exact ao3 user!

I was sooooo excited that someone wanted to make fan art for my fic and truly had no reason to believe it was a scam until I saw this.

Thank you guys so much for this PSA, literally saved my butt (and my wallet) 💕

I wouldn’t consider myself a particularly gullible person but I agree with what’s been said above. This is a very innocuous scam in that it truly just seems like someone interested in creating fan art for your fic, which is a dream if it were to happen for real.

Thank you all again for this PSA. Thrusting it out a little farther into the universe to hopefully help some more people too 💕

AO3 / ff.net + Artstation 'concept artist' scam

FYI, I personally know two people who got scam comments from the same AO3 account today alone. They were very similar to the ff.net comments in this reddit post, and go something like:

As a concept artist, I really enjoyed your story! The characters were compelling, and the plot kept me engaged from start to finish. Your writing has so much depth, and I could really envision the world you’ve created. While reading, I got some ideas for potential artwork to bring your characters or key scenes to life. I’d love to chat more about a possible collaboration if you’re interested

The main difference between this and a previous wave of similar comments is that this is from a logged-in account as opposed to a guest.

I can't send a support ticket because I haven't gotten any comments from this particular account. Obviously, AO3 volunteers don't need to be flooded with more support tickets right now, anyway, and I'm sure other people have already reported this user. But do yourself a favor and just block Evelynaddison92 on AO3 like I'm about to. The account is 100% a scammer, and there are certainly more accounts like this on AO3, but that's the only one I know of atm.

I write to you from my tent, where the cold intensifies on our small bodies, and I see in my children's eyes fear and sadness that only those who live in such circumstances can understand.

I used to live a dignified life, filled with peace and tranquility, in a warm home that embraced us. In it, we shared joy and hardship, ate together, laughed together, and dreamed together. The simplest things filled our hearts with happiness.

But on October 7th, everything collapsed. We lost our home, our dreams were shattered, and we became displaced, without shelter to protect our bodies from the harsh cold, and without food to fill our hungry stomachs. There is no water to drink, nor enough blankets to keep our children warm.

We have lived days full of pain and suffering, where hunger, illness, and fear gathered together. We have tried to find a spark of hope in every moment, but life has become a burden that weighs heavily on us with every step we take.

I am Noor Al-Anqar, a mother of three children, the oldest of whom is Hussein, who has not yet turned seven, and yet carries in his heart a love and hope bigger than anything. After we lost everything, my only dream is to provide them with a dignified life. My dream is to provide them with the food that will satisfy their hunger, the milk that will pour peace into their souls, and the warm clothes that will protect them from the bitter winter cold.

But the truth is, I cannot do it alone. Prices have become terrifying, and I have no income to ease the burden of life. So, I write to you today, asking for your help, as you are our only hope.

If you are able to help, please do not hold back whatever you can. And if you cannot donate, a kind word or sharing the campaign could be a lifeline for us.

The campaign is verified by: @90-ghost and @gazavetters My listed number is (#245).

Many thanks to everyone who contributes, even with a kind word or a prayer. You are the hope we continue to cling to.

Another scam

Scammers gonna scam

No...God have mercy on the poor soul who wants to take me to an Art Museum because I am really to throw a pillow at the mere mention of "mural" after 16 attempts to scam me.

Am I the only artist who can't see the word "mural" the same way anymore because of the nasty mural scam?
