That pet scammer still be creepin around tumblr, messaging ppl to boost their post from a day-old blog with pics that aren't their own! Their new urls are lovely-pages, pagesfive-to-six, and reconnecteed
They also have a ton more urls active! If you wanna learn how to spot their scams (they're super cookie-cutter and similar) check out this post I made about them
Feb 27 2023 update: All three blogs have been terminated! Yay! The scammer will probably make more, though. I'll update the above post with the urls as they appear. Stay safe!

Hiyah! Im sorry to interrupt you for a while, I know this might come strange but I just wanna ask for some help if you can maybe possibly take a look the post I pinned for my lil cat, we’re in desperate need of help so a reblog/boost might definitely help us a ton! I hope you’d consider but if not, its okay and I do understand! Wishing you good health and stay safe! Pls send me a msg for a response or answer the ask privately. 🙏🙏
so are u like a real human person running this scam or are u a bot
red flags that this is a scam, for any confused readers:
asking me to respond in private? what?? if a person wanted me to “signal boost” (which would be dumb bc my blog doesnt have a large following), they’d typically ask me (or a more popular blog, if they were smarter) to publish the ask or reblog their post so my followers would see it
the asker’s archive is turned off but a quick scroll thru their blog reveals that they’ve only been an active user since yesterday. (first post reblogged at (per my time zone) 6:11am on sunday, donation post made at 6:29am on sunday. yeah.)
the vast majority of their posts are pulled from one fandom tag (the last of us), and most of their reblogs are directly from the OP of the post, which is not how a “normal” tumblr user operates
no original posts by this user except for the one asking for money
(bonus: no tags on any reblogs)
two different names on the donate post: @Evan-Naeher for the venmo but Austin Tuck for the paypal. if ur gonna lie on the internet at least keep ur story straight <3
and, for people who genuinely need help, i HIGHLY recommend checking out some charity subreddits instead of making a donation post on tumblr; a random_acts_of_whatever subreddit is Dedicated to giving posters in it money, and will be frequented by people who WANT to give money, whereas a tumblr post asking for donations that circulates often winds up just being considered annoying, because people don’t typically expect or want to see a post asking them to spend money on a relative stranger on their dashboard.

aash-aash is a scammer. Look up the username in tumblr search please to see proof.
Of course one of the few times I actually reblog a post from a non-moot solicitation…
Thank you!

Recorded ask for the scammer's account @aash-aash.

my favorite thinig about being plural is probably that if there's something i don't want to deal with, i can just hand it to the officially designated Deals With Things™ headmate.

How to spot a pet donation scam: 1. Turn timestamps on (account settings -> Dashboard -> Show timestamps) | 2. Check how old a pinned pet post is | 3. Look up the username |4. Are their alerts for the account? | 5. Check the post notes.
Thank you anon for these tips! It makes me believe there is still good in this world because multiple people swooped in to save me and others from a scam! <3
