Because there's been a lot more of them recently: fundraising asks sent to my inbox or @'s on posts that are not from mutuals will be reported as spam, and blocked. I've updated my profile to reflect this. I have made this abundantly clear, so the only reason you'd have to send one is if it's sent by bot.
I donate to fundraisers via other means, not randoms on tumblr cold calling inboxes of people because that's a known scammer tactic.
SAME GOES FOR MESSAGES FROM STRANGERS THAT JUST GO "HI".
