Hey gang, I'm pissed off that I've been recieving asks from scammers pretending to be Palestinians and I'm gonna tell you how to weed those suckers out
also so much people are falling for it so byeah, that also sucks, anyway
1. copy paste the whole ask and put it on the search bar
the search bar is shit for looking for tags BUT it will show you the exact ask post when you look it up word for word
Now if different blogs are sending the same ask word for word then that's definitely a scammer
1.1 search the url in the search bar and see if people confirms the account is a scam
2. The blog is less than a week old and/or reblogged a bunch of other Palestine related posts in the same day of it's creation
This has been age old advice on how to tell any scam blog in any context. Scammers fill their blogs with reblogs to make it look like they're a genuine tumblr user. Check the dates of all the posts. Usually they never make another post/reblog after they think the account is filled enough
3. When they say they're vetted without mentioning or linking who confirmed it
and relating to point 2, this account and all the posts are two days old
3.1 The ask/post reads like a storybook because of the lack of info while trying so hard to make the story sound legit by adding dramatic words (from the above, "one day, as the bombs fell" "without insulin, my blood sugar levels soared" "as conflict raged around me")
4. Searching the name and not finding any info besides the tumblr blog
pretty suspicious if the person asking for help doesn't exist, don't it
4.1 The ask does not mention a name at all
and That's all the things I do to find out if an account is a fake, I hope you reblog because people should not be falling for scams like these and ending up NOT donating their money to real Palestinians, take care y'all
