R&B. I haven't been spammed about any donations - yet. Fingers crossed.

So many people fall for this stuff. Im sure that in amongst them are a few genuine cases but the majority are scammers imo, posing with little children on piles of bricks.Best to £give to accredited charities. One was actually angry &said 'Come on you people - nothing received from you for 13 days!"

I now automatically block ALL accounts with gofundme links.

Absolutely! I also report them.

I just received a post asking me to donate - and including an Amazon wishlist. On the list - Birthday party set, mug warmer, set of posters, grass growing kit for her cat, make up, pack of luxury cookies, yoga mat.

She sounds so very desperate...

Agreed.

I hate that more than the asking for money. Dear? DEAR???

mistyswoman.bsky.social•36 days ago

I think this one was an African/South Asian scammer. They're the ones who tend to address people as "dear".

louyoufortofu.bsky.social•36 days ago

Oh yes, had a few of them myself
