Hi, I'm Raven, and I'm running this campaign on behalf of my friend Ayoush. Any money raised will go to her in full. Please note the campaig
Hello my friends, I will always be grateful for your support, but Tumblr deleted my main account and I honestly do not know why.The truth is that I have no source of income and no stable way to survive. I urgently need your help.
Everything here has become extremely expensive, and the war has never truly stopped. Every moment, every day, and every night, there are more martyrs and more rising prices.
I truly need your support. Even if you cannot donate, please at least share and support my campaign. And if you are able to help, even a small donation like $15 can make a difference for me.
So any donation or contribution you make will help me buy basic living necessities and at least provide simple crochet supplies so I can continue making and selling my work to earn some money.I am only trying to provide food, water, and the most basic crochet tools — just the essential things.
Please try to support me.
And these are some of the crochet pieces I have made recently.
Please donate & share 🤍
I looked through the notes and noticed no one had debunked this scam, so I thought I'd do it:
I reverse image searched the selfie, which brought me to this twitter of an Iranian woman, abandoned in 2020. This twitter marks this woman's location in Tehran, Iran. I then zoomed in on the photos with the business card. The only thing I could accurately make out without question was the phone number, which doesn't have a country code, so I just for shits and giggles looked it up with Iran's code. That showed me that this phone number is registered to someone in Tehran, Iran. Most likely, the woman whose image was stolen.
This woman is not Ayoush from Gaza. This is a scam. Stop reblogging it.
Lets look at this person's list of 'evidence', compile them, and address them one by one.
Aya's photo was stolen from an account belonging to this Twitter account which is verifiably located in Iran.
Aya's phone number is registered under a Tehran, Iran area code.
Aya's business cards have Persian on them instead of Arabic.
Let's start with the first claim then.
This is the account linked:
Do note that that individual hasn't posted any photos of their own, besides their profile picture. How would Aya have sourced her photos from this woman who has never posted on X?
Her profile picture does not resemble Aya's photos either. Here's a side by side. You cannot even claim these are the same woman, and if you struggle with face blindness, please note the different mole patterns on the women's faces, their eyebrows and eyeshapes are different, etc...
Left is random Iranian woman, right is Aya, a photo taken and posted by her.
Aya's photos have been consistent as well. This is her with her family in front of the rubble of their home in Ghazzah. And she is identifiably the same woman. It's the first photo in her Chuffed fundraiser for her family. This is clearly not Tehran now is it?
2. The phone number on the business card being a Tehran area code number is a baffling statement to make considering it's verifiably a Palestinian-registered mobile phone number beginning in 56. There's also likely an international number that comes before it that's omitted from the business card (either 972 or 970 which are the 'area codes' although that's not the name), one that is not necessary to list for people who are also Palestinian as they would know it and know what to dial (likely 970 since she writes it as 056) before beginning the phone number that starts with 56, a Palestinian mobile phone registration number that matches up with Aya's phone number beginning in 056 followed by 7 digits, the standard for Palestinian mobile phones.
This phone number of hers is in line with Palestinian mobile phone numbers. There are no Iranian mobile phone service providers who use this same phone number structure.
What this means is that individual was lying about finding the phone number in Iran. It's not like they provided proof anyway!
3. And onto their final point, well most of the card is illegible because the font is too thin to distinguish from this distance / blurriness (refer to the previous business card photo), but the bottom line literally says "Alaa's crochets" in Arabic. It's not Persian. It's Arabic. How did this person decide the illegibly blurry writing that even I and others can't read as native Arabic speakers is actually 'Persian'? (You know, it's actually called Farsi :) )
So if they're wrong about all of this, why are they so confident in their claims?
This person isn't confident in their claims, and is not trying to help anyone.
They lied about reading Farsi or Arabic, they lied about the phone lookup, they lied about the reverse Google image lookup. And look at that! We just verified their claims ourselves above ^^^
The reality is they're just hellbent on trying to prove that verified fundraisers who belong to Ghazzawi individuals and their families, their fucking lifelines, are actually scams, so they can ignore them and not have to think about the suffering of brown people on this planet because it makes them uncomfortable. And Westerners would rather kill brown people by attempting to cut off their lifelines in a genocide than even think about helping them.
You people are vile, dishonest, disgusting pieces of shit.
