Hello! Just a heads up, the post about the cat medical bill from user 'lxve' is a scam. There's a post about this scammer and how to identify their scams here, and a detailed post on general scam red flags here, if you wanna learn. This scammer spreads their posts in two ways: first, by sending asks to totally random people, telling them not to publish those asks so they can hide how much they're spamming people and reusing asks, and second, they've started @'ing random users to get boosted that way.
The biggest giveaways for this scammer are: 1) their oldest post is only a few hours old. 2) They're using USD $ in their post, but if you inspected their directly paypal link, it will be going to the Philippines. They recently stopped using direct hyperlinks in their post to hide this. 3) They ask people to send money using paypal 'friends and family', which doesn't have protections for people if they're scammed. This scammer is also running another account right now @imse7en! Notice how similar they are
You can report the scam post through 'report something else', 'unlawful uses or content', then 'phishing!' Depending on what you're ok with, you can delete the scam post, or edit it to have 'this is a scam' in big letters in your reblog and tags, so people who see the original post see your warning in the notes. I'm sending this message to as many people as I can to warn them and share some tips :) Have a nice day!
Thank you SO MUCH. I had no idea. Reporting then rn.
You’re doing god’s work. It’s awesome you’ve been reaching out to so many people.
