alt text is that this is a post from a user whose handle is isabella-a, claiming to need $330 for unspecified medical treatment, linking to a "gogetfunding" page using stolen images of another person

SkySleuth @skysleuth.bsky.social · 16/06/2026
hey jsyk, this is a scam. the images in this user's gogetfunding are stolen from an instagram user named alaina, and are consistent with the methodologies in the scam linked below. please block and report

another annah' mussa scam, completely different script this time, please report

SkySleuth @skysleuth.bsky.social · 06/05/2026
these images used by the scammer also appear in a crowdfund for another (likely) scam with a different name - you can see that gogetfunding intervened here and cystic fibrosis is a common disease this scam ring uses to try and steal money
gogetfunding page for a "cystic fibrosis patient" with the name "Alessandra Olivero" - it dates back to 2023 and raised $1257 before it was stopped by gogetfunding

words mean things and the propensity of loud, obnoxious people to deliberately muddy the waters around these things by throwing around those words without understanding their meanings is as infuriating as it is unhelpful

"he's doing pig butchering scams!" just admit you don't know what that is or how it works, jfc

SkySleuth @skysleuth.bsky.social · 14/04/2026
like yes, the guy running the botnet and buying accounts to do it is fucking annoying regardless of the validity of his need to do so, but you're not magically lawyers now and you don't understand how those things work

as someone who tracks scams i think it is incredibly bleak that someone with a legitimate need can execute scamlike tactics and suddenly every weird #resist person on here is suddenly an expert in RICO law and the Baker Act, while falling back on the "oh how can i trust palestinians now?" shibboleth

SkySleuth @skysleuth.bsky.social · 10/02/2026
this scammer changed their pinned post to this containing the stock image of the blood sugar meter and the stolen art from a tumblr artist actually suffering from diabetes. both of these images are well-worn and constantly employed by this scammer. please report if you haven't already!

didn't think i'd see this scammer come back to bluesky but here we are. they're now using the alias "Kerina Owuor" (note the exact same stolen pfp and script for insulin):

I'm very grateful for everyone who has interacted and donated so far and I hope to raise the full amount today so I can administer my insulin as time is running out I'm calling for a community  🙏
