Got identical asks from two different blogs with two different fundraisers on them, dont donate to these unless you can find more information about them to verify theyre real
I’m glad other people are posting about this cos the same thing happened to me
Honestly if you received a msg like this coming from a blog with nothing but a fundraiser (and similar fundraisers, which is also very odd) you should probably ignore it. Neither of these blogs replied when I asked why I received the same msg from three different blogs for for 2 different fundraisers
It appears that some accounts are duplicating fundraisers word for word and reposting them with new payment information.
Reverse image searching the photos if you’re on desktop may help find the original source
Reblogging this again because I did a little digging and found a pattern of similar blogs making distinct, separate fundraisers using the same PayPal accounts
There is no way to direct funds from multiple donation posts into one PayPal.me link and know which payment was meant for which fundraiser, so this is clearly a scam – the OPs don’t care which fundraiser gets the money because the fundraisers aren’t real (they’re probably stolen from other platforms like Facebook)
obviously if I provide a link Tumblr will hide this reply but most of the posts on this blog are about this phenomenon. I’ve made something of a masterpost listing all the blogs involved so please check it out before you donate or boost a fundraiser from someone you don’t know
I’d recommend reporting these blogs since they are demonstrably fraudulent
Oh hey I got some of these! It didn’t add up so I ignored it.
I know @seananmcguire has politely declined similar requests, too
