@reallyuniquedaze (Kipkosgei Cheruiyot)

Another iteration of a fake Ghaza scam; thank you @eveningharmony for sending the titular user to me.

$300 is not a valid long-term goal for a Ghazan fundraiser. The cost of goods in Ghaza is so inflated and the cost of evacuation is in the thousands.

"Fundraiser donation link" is just an untrackable PayPal donation pool. These should never be donated to unless they belong to a vetted user or someone you know personally. Unlike GFM, there is no guarantee you will get your money back in the event of fraud.

This account has other trademark signs of a scam that I have discussed in other posts.

The PayPal belongs to "Kipkosgei Cheruiyot" which is another Kenyan surname, which likely means this is the same donation scammer or small group that's been involved with these donation scams. In fact, I recognized the last name used by decaffinatedcrusadesweets who had the PayPal name "Sally Cheruiyot." I went to go look at decaffinatedcrusadesweets' blog, and I found that they have now changed their username to devotedlyclassycollector and now their PayPal name is "Kiposgei Cheruiyot." This is the same person.

This person is trying to pass themselves off as both of these people.

The decaffinatedcrusadesweets/devotedlyclassycollector scam is an iteraction of the, "still staying in half of the church that wasn’t affected by the bombing," scam that steals text directly from this GFM.

Meanwhile, through reallyuniquedaze, they are also trying to run a different style of donation scam run by usernames such as,

thoughtfulcrusadegoatee

thoughtfulbearcrown

superbkittenexpert

beautifulsheepblaze

massivepersonagardener

deafeningeagleland

radyouthpeanut

zealoussublimefart

screechingdreamlandsublime

with PayPal names such as Jeff Owino and Titus Muhitsi.

This person does not care about the ethicality of their actions. They have made more blogs and used more usernames than included in this post. They will block you if you call them out. Do not donate to them; do not share their posts. Report and block them. Warn others who engage with the scam.

As per usual, if you would like to support a vetted family in need of the funds to afford basic necessities and evacuate Gaza once the Egyptian border crossing opens, please consider supporting Nesma [vetted] and her relatives Dr. Shahad & Farah. [vetted 1, vetted 2]

This post/my blog is not a place to accuse all fundraisers of being scams, or to be racist/xenophobic.

@maximumtriumphmagazine (Baraa Alnajjar)

This account is impersonating a Palestinian children's book illustrator, Baraa Awoor.

Here is Baraa Awoor's GFM, her LinkedIn, and her personal website with her work.

Here's a tumblr post promoting Awoor's work that links to her GFM. I could not find if Awoor has any tumblr accounts.

Now here's an impersonator, "Baraa Alnajjar." @/maximumtriumphmagazine and their GFM.

This post completely rips off the tumblr post, with the only changes being the lack of Facebook links that lead to Awoor's Facebook, as well as changing the surname "Awoor" to "Alnajjar."

The name "Baraa Alnajjar" brings up no results related to children's illustration, while "Baraa Awoor" brings up Awoor's various websites and photos of her illustrations.

The title is stolen, with the original being on the right, impersonator on the left.

The entire GFM text is nearly identical.

Additionally, Awoor's GFM mentions that some of her family has been evacuated into Egypt back in April, while "Alnajjar's" has no mention of this.

Here's a side-by-side of the stolen tumblr post that "Alnajjar" copied.

"Alnajjar's" header photo is also stolen from a threads account. The account's posts are in Arabic, but I couldn't find any mention of Gaza or Palestine on the account from the preview that threads would give me. I did find references to Iraq, however. The most recent post was from two days ago.

While Awoor has not been vetted by any tumblr vetters and doesn't seem to have an account on here, she is a well-known children's illustrator, and as a result. likely has a big audience on Facebook and other platforms, which she likely used to campaign.

While I can't definitively say the impersonator is not Gazan, they are at the very least impersonating two other people, which should not be happening. They are stealing someone else's face and stealing Awoor's work and her words.

Please report the impersonation account as well as the GFM. I'm not sure how Baraa Awoor and her family are doing, but I imagine she could use donations since being a refugee can be very expensive with limited work opportunities.

Edit (9/16/2024):

The impersonation account has yet to engage with @kyra45 on her reblog, but I did get a response back from Baraa after messaging her directly through GFM.

The impersonator is definitely not associated with the original in any way.

So after the original gfm was contacted, it turns out maximumtriumphmagazine is indeed trying to copy/impersonate someone else and they’ve made no effort to contact me to clear up any confusion. The art they say was made by someone isn’t made by that person, it’s art made by a well known artist.

If the user contacts you, please inform them to cease their gfm immediately or clear up why they’re copying someone else 100%. I know the circumstances are dire, but this is completely wrong to do just because the original gfm doesn’t have a blog. Don’t copy someone else’s fundraiser that isn’t part of your family, take images off another site, and then claim the art from the real artist is actually art by someone else.

The original artist is Baraa Awoor, not “Baraa Alnajjar”.

If the account clears up the situation, I will post an update but they have not contacted me so I’m making this post on its own. I would prefer them to publicly explain themselves instead of in private. Don’t even need too much info. Just explain why it was necessary to copy a fundraising post/gfm for a popular artist and then miscredit the art even though you SAW who made it in the post you stole it from.

kyra45

Also yes there was past cases where similiar fundraisers was family related but this one clearly isn’t. This is someone who knows what they did and they’re not willing to be honest about their situation. I know it’s hard for Palestinians to raise funds, but generally speaking it’s best to be honest then take someone else’s story as yours if they’re not related to you at all. Language barriers are a problem but this is someone who saw a name and went out of their way to edit it out on purpose and make a gfm that copied the existing one for someone else with minor adjustments and doesn’t mention the gfm that they would have seen on the original post they copied.

The account is still actively sending asks to users and doesn’t reply to them when the answers prove their stealing another fundraisers contents.

My DMs/asks are open. I don’t have them blocked. They have an option to contact me if they wanted to explain themselves to clear up the evidence showing they are stealing things.

Not every gfm is a scam. There are ways to see if one’s legit or at least prove its using content that is original or if copied is just belonging to a family member as we’ve seen before. Most blogs will state that.

I just want this person to be honest and genuine and explain why they’re copying something.

Also they are not a bot. I see your tags people who seem to think every gfm ask is from a bot there is no evidence for that to be true and if you’re following me please cut it out with that assumption. I literally have a post that tells you that assumption is wrong and based on a mistake that has been cleared up and you’re only saying that because you saw that bad post.

award-winning palestinian children's illustrator baraa Alnajjar writes:

ما جدوى ان تكون رسام كتاب أطفال في عالم يحكم على أطفال بلدك بالإعدام، بالموت، بالفناء، بالإبادة !!

"what use is it to be an illustrator of children's books when the world has sentenced the children of your country to the death penalty, to vanish, to genocide?

"some of baraa's illustrations

this is an illustration for youssef, whose mother is remembered running desperately into the hospital asking if anyone had seen a "small white boy with beautiful curly hair, his name is youssef," a description which was remembered by millions when she finally identified his body:

this illustration is for young omar, who was hugging his little brother and teaching him how to repeat the shahada after him (a prayer spoken by muslims before their death) as he lay on his hospital bed:

"we want a new year that doesn't kill us or our children, we want it a year without blood, without screaming, without pain, we want a new attempt to get our lives back, or something that resembled our life, even if life is a lie we still cling to it, return life to us—a new year's card unlike any other year:"

Baraa is currently raising money to get her family of 12 out of Gaza. This is a reputable fundraiser, so please donate if you can. The Egyptian government currently charges over $5,000 per person to get into Cairo through the Rafah crossing:

This fundraiser is fraudulent the one who runs the fundraiser they’ve took text from has confirmed that this accounts gfm is copying hers and it needs to be reported because it’s 100% trying to impersonate her and accrediting her art being done by someone else.

Please support the fundraiser for the real artist here whose art is being falsely accredited to someone else.

DO NOT GIVE OP MONEY WARN ANYONE WHOSE SHARED THIS POST THAT WASNT SHARED FROM ME. The original gfm person confirmed by email this gfm by the op is NOT related to her at all and isn’t hers. The images they’re using aren’t their own either.

Also OP never contacted me after my original reblog so I don’t think they are willing to explain anything I’ve given them all day to do it and their just sending out asks without any attempt to tell their part of the story on why their copying another post AND gfm.

does anyone have that post about books to read on the issues with palestine and i.s.ra.el? i used to have the post saved because i told myself i'd get a different book on it every time i finished the last and yet i must've not saved it as a bookmark like i'd thought i had.

Hey guys, I'm not fully certain what happened but from what I understand so far, yesterday I reblogged this post from someone who looks into scams on tumblr, and the person I reblogged it from has just updated to clarify the accounts belong to members of the same family they're not scammers at all.

Apologies for reblogging a speculative post without concrete evidence of wrongdoing. Sorry to @malokamohamed and @supportgaza and others.

idocumentscammers

Mahmoud ( @supportgaza ) has requested I not show his original message due to it containing some personal information, but there was essentially a miscommunication between Mahmoud and his relatives about starting the second fundraiser, leading Mahmoud to believe that scammers were behind it.

I am in the process of contacting people who interacted with my original post to clarify that neither @malokamohamed nor @mohammeedibraheem are scammers, but are relatives of Mahmoud. I apologize to everyone for spreading false information.

Please do not contact either Mahmoud or any of his relatives about this further, as it has been cleared up. This has been a stressful event for the both of them, and they are both in need of help to evacuate their family.

Photo ID: A chat between me (on my main @cluelessbot) and Mahmoud ( @supportgaza) Me: Hi Mahmoud, I'm so sorry this happened! Thank you so much for informing me. I imagine this has been a stressful situation for the both of you, and I apologize for contributing to this mess. I will reach out to your brother as well and apologize for making the scam post about him; I just wanted to respect your wishes, not hurt him or any of your family. Me: I will keep your message private at your request, but in order to let others know about your brother being the person behind that fundraiser, may I post the next message with your confirmation? It will probably help others believe that he is actually not stealing your photos, and support him. Me: Regarding the callout post about Mohammed Ibraheem ( @malokamohamed , @mohameedibraheem) the original fundraiser creator, Mahmoud, (@supportgaza) has reached out to me and let me know that the person we thought was a scammer is actually his brother. Due to the hectic situation that families in Gaza face as well as the lack of reliable internet, there was a miscommunication between Mohammed and Mahmoud about Mohammed's creation of his fundraiser. Mohammed is not a scammer or trying to impersonate Mahmoud, but is a direct relative of Mahmoud. His fundraiser is legitimate, and is also vetted by association through Mahmoud. Please continue to support both fundraisers, and refrain from messaging either Mohammed or Mahmoud about it further. Mahmoud: I am deeply sorry for this mess; I really am! I had no idea whatsoever he asked someone to set up a campaign; he was too embarrassed to let me know; I am focusing on evacuating all my brothers and sisters and their little one because I know the war won’t stop. I/ sr /ae /li commanders made statements today that defeating H/ a/ ma/ s will take another whole year; to me this means the genocide and horror will crush everyone. Therefore I must act. My apologies again and thank you for understanding Mahmoud: Please feel free to make a post to clarify things. Thank you very much!

Please don't hesitate to donate for us! We need your help! … Mohammed Ibraheem needs your support for Urgent Relief; Help my family evacuat

People say: "Family always comes First," and to that, I say: "Amen!".… Mahmoud Khalaf needs your support for Death chases my family in Gaza;

These are both legitimate fundraisers! Mahmoud has been vetted here, #151.

Don't boost this person, they are a scammer

This blog reached out to me and claimed to be a Palestinian in Gaza that requires assistance with medical bills, however the pictures she is using on her blog are not of her but of Filipina actress Claudia Barretto. Here is an article that uses the second picture from back in 2022. DO NOT BOOST THIS PERSON.
