How to spot a (heart wrenching sad cat) Charity Scam

So I've been get a lot of requests for money in my askbox lately, from users I have never seen before! Usually sad cats, sometimes gender affirming medical bills, a queer person being made homeless etc etc... and guess what? None of them are real! It's scammers who have learned how to work tumblr's userbase and prey on our general sense of community and charity.

Here it is, so sad! So tragic! But let's note a few things:

It's generic. They don't know me, I don't know them. it's addressed to 'friend', no use of nicknames or usernames.

Even the cat and the problem are generic 'little kitty' who has 'urgent needs'. This is not how real people talk, this is because this scam is being used over and over with different accounts a different 'cats'.

Praying (uh huh.)

Asking you to reply privately- This is so people don't spot the scam and point it out the mark and because if too many people posted replies to the same message it would beome really obvious that this is a scam. If they're looking for 'boosts' so badly, then why do they need you to reply privately?

Now that I'm suspicious, let's investigate.

Sent me an ask and then followed me! Sounds like they're just hitting up anyone and everyone, but even more likely they have a list they're working from.

(I get so many, I'm probably on a mail-out list a mile long, just being hit up for cash. Likely I fell for one of these once and got my name added to every scam list for miles, but oh well.)

So let's see if they're a bot or a real person!

The blog looks genuine enough, they've got a bio, a fandom etc. And it says they're an artist!

And of course there's that sad cat post, pinned right to the top, so I don't have to look any further through the blog for verification... Looks super legit, pics of the cat, pics of the bill... of course anyone can print out a bill and take a picture of it...

As I do scroll futher, it's full of reblogs making this look like an active user. So how can I tell it's not genuine?

Well, if they're an artist they probably post right? Doodles? Pictures? Let's have a look at their origional posts.

The fastest way to do this is by using an outside tool like Original Post Finder.

just type in the suspicious username and go...

Voila! As suspected, the only post this bot account has ever made is Sad Cat Post.

Confirmed: Scam. Do not give your money to these guys, it looks so real but they're just here to make you feel like a bad person for not handing over everything you can. Charity is wonderful, supporting friends is wonderful, but tbh save it for people you actually know irl/ mutuals you have an actual relationship with. Don't believe any rando who comes knocking!

Love and kisses, stay safe out there.

Bill [Parr] worked for Rushworths music shop in Liverpool, not far from NEMS: "Sometimes before they had to disappear to wherever they were playing that day, The Beatles would assemble in the café below Rushworths. (...) They'd all borrow books from the music shop; well it is better than having to buy them! I promised to educate them and once said to Paul "Let's start with you, you're young." Paul took exception to that and told me proudly that he'd left school. Paul was known by us all there as 'our baby' because of his youthful looks. "Often in the café, I would sit down and talk to the Beatles; they were all good friends and very sociable. They had a good sense of humour and liked the banter in the morning. One of my games was to arm-wrestle with them. I'd start with Ringo and work my way through them all, teasing them that they weren't as good as the others. (...) "One interesting little fact is that when we were sitting in the café, naturally there would be several 'lad's' jokes, the ruder the better when men are together. However, if there were any ladies present, one of The Beatles didn't like that type of humour, and would cough when the jokes turned blue. Can you guess who it was? Astonishingly, it was John Lennon. Who would have believed that? It seems that maybe not all of Mimi's discipline was wasted."
