Spam Bots - Blog Posts
anyone else noticed the surge in sex bots?? like i’ve had ten follow me on all my different accounts in the last two days.
This is a warning pornbots, stop sent me sex messages or I will block you! Starting today!
I know it won’t do anything, but I’m sick and tired of these freaking bots! 💢
I thought tumblr would be a more artist oriented platform than instagram but it’s even worse I keep getting the same bots begging for money and the same commission scams it’s so annoying on instagram that happened maybe once but here it keeps going every single time I post something
Don't look behind me adventurer. I think the golems are following me and I need your help. Whatever you do, do not look into their eyes. They're glamoured to entice you like a siren does a sailor. They're built for sin to draw you in and bring about your end. Do not engage. Spread the word and get. me. help.
❗HOW TO SPOT A GOFUNDME SCAM❗
1. Typos in their own name
Etaf (E'taf? Ettaf?)'s campaign is filled with typos, including their own name.
2. Organizer claims to be in a country where GFM campaigns cannot be made
In Hazem's campaign, they claim to be in Gaza with the goal to go to Egypt. You CANNOT create a GoFundMe campaign in Gaza OR Egypt. You can check the list of countries supported on GFM here.
3. Organizer's location doesn't match with the story (or omitted)
Etaf claims to be in Egypt in the story. They're in Spain. When it comes to Hazem's campaign, the location of the organizer is omitted, yet they ask for Euros.
4. Beneficiary isn't mentioned in the story
Etaf's beneficiary isn't mentioned in the story. The family members are Youssef, Moataz, Moatasem, Maria, Adam and Amira.
5. Makes multiple accounts and then deactivates them
Notice how these accounts always have "Name+numbers"
6. Uses AI generated images
The mandible (i.e. lower jawbone) isn't part of the rest of the skull, but rather affixed by cartilage, muscles and ligaments, so would not just be there attached to a dry skeleton. Look at the ribcage and how it goes all the way down to the pelvis... Also the skeleton would NOT be this clean. Notice the lack of clothes as well.
Those images are used to tug at your heartstrings.

7. Incorrect information
As seen in Elham's campaign:
Wikipedia:
❗Remember, just because they have been "vetted" by @/gazavetters, doesn't make them legit!! The vetters have fallen for fake GFM before.❗

Look familiar?
Bots and scammers comb through popular tags on Tumblr and mass-send asks with gofundmes or PayPal links.
These blogs often only have three posts to them, or have only ever reblogged content from blogs that have very similar names.
Praying on your empathy, they give a massive schpiel about who they are, how they're impacted, and how they desperately need your money or for you to reblog so others send them money to "help" them.
The money goes to scam artists anywhere but Gaza.
There is very few people actually "vetting" these blogs. There is no official vetting process. Do not trust Tumblr blogs or Google documents claiming to vet these posts.
If you want to help people in Gaza, please head to places like World Central Kitchen. This is an organisation that's actually helping people in Gaza by providing food and water with their Chefs for Gaza initiative.
How do I know if this tumblr fundraiser is a scam?
Look at the date the blog was created
Look at their reblogs, most will have happened within one day (usually the day they post their fundraiser), and then never again.
Search their name on tumblr, they would likely have spammed multiple blogs and some blogs tag usernames.
Usually it’s a pet or transgender related surgery fundraiser (or whatever is “trendy at the time” i.e. someone supposedly from Ukraine, someone who was brutalised by cops etc.).
Now this is not to say that these fundraisers aren’t legit, but likely they either aren’t or are taken from legit fundraising sites and reposted without the original person’s knowledge.
They ask for PayPal donations, it’s quick, simple, all it needs is a bank account linked to an email address, and there is no way to check if it’s legit or to see how much has been donated.
These scams have been going on for many years and they raise funds, delete their blog, open a new one, raise funds, and the cycle goes on.
PLEASE DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE REBLOGGING ONE OF THESE SCAM POSTS!
When you keep creating new accounts to get free shit. But instead of harmless free trials you milk people’s bleeding hearts for money.
I noticed these scam accounts are now resorting to tagging random people in the comments.
(Notice here how they are two different accounts with different names and yet have the same profile picture...)
You can prevent that by changing your settings!

A bot just followed me on insta💀
I’m gonna go insane I swear to god these stupid NSFW bots keep following me istg I can’t do anything about it
Aaaaaand it's gone!
I see that my follower numbers are going up and it perks me up! Buuuuut only to be greatly disappointed that most of thoss "followers" are just sex bot accounts.
...You'd think being a succubus, this wouldn't bother me, but it's like... How to I saw this?
Bot followers are like potato chips. Nice to have, but provides no nutritional benefits whatsoever. Which is why I don't pounce on an Ink!Sans—he's soulless and... Ink is potato chips to Succubi and Incubi. Yeah, he'll be tasty, but... No benefits.
Speaking of "tasty", I need some apples to snack on. Damn pregnancy cravings are gonna make me fatter than I already am...💦
