steven mwita is back! i think he got his wires crossed because he's doing the retinoblastoma scam with the wrong paypal name, but it makes spotting him that much easier

I'll be taking an extended vacation from this account for a bit to sort out some IRL stuff. Feel free to send me updates/tips via DM but it may be some time before I get to them!

new steven mwita scammer, this is the script used by the aliases tabitha chacha/damaris maroa with slightly updated wording and with a new alias

new steven mwita (been a while)

the steven mwita scammers impersonating anas have decided to come back to bluesky - this is not him, this account is fake, and it is not vetted by molly. please report

Been a while since I saw a Steven Mwita scammer but here's a new (old) one. The "I need an insulin pen" scam is pretty much word-for-word what they use.

@dillonopossum.bsky.social hey, sorry to bother you randomly - I had a question about someone who scammed you out of a few bucks recently. Would you be able to DM me if you'd be OK with that?

Another new alias, same MO - steals posts and images from popular posts, follows several thousand people en masse, then immediately starts asking for MA. Please block and tell your friends if you see them reposting these.

so this scammer has a new alias - the post in the image is straight up stolen word for word from someone else, which is kind of a new thing i've seen these scammers do. normally this wouldn't matter but i believe it's to try and sound more legitimate when trying to ply this scam

hey, sorry for not posting much lately, it's been *relatively* quiet on the scam beats i follow - i'm still keeping an eye on things though

@anozilla.bsky.social sorry to bother you - i just wanted to let you know someone is impersonating you in an attempt to scam your followers. if anyone has replied to you asking about comms or anything of the sort lately, please make them aware this isn't you

it's been a while but our good friend Tabitha Chacha is back with a new name

Here's a weird new one, matches several of the hallmarks of the Steven Mwita scam. "The Freedom Room" is an org in Australia helping people with addiction, and has nothing on their site mentioning Gaza currently, so put two and two together here.

@russypt.bsky.social hey just a heads-up, this reply to you is a scammer impersonating the artist you're talking to trying to scam you, please don't add them on discord

another day, another new najma maol

new najma maol

i'll reiterate this because i think it needs restated and it's a fact people don't understand: scammers will often assume marginalized identities because it provides them a layer of protection against being called out. the optics of calling someone claiming to be vulnerable is a shield for them

new stacy amondi, using a completely different pfp

new conslata mwita, already marked as spam but keep an eye out

@meatpopsicle.bsky.social hey, sorry to bother you - i saw you gave this person money a few hours ago so i wanted to make you aware that you may have been scammed

@esedia.bsky.social hi, sorry to bother you! i saw you sent this person money recently, so i wanted to let you know that you may have been scammed:

after doing some research i am convinced this is a scam, you can see the email in the third image being used to con some people in a facebook group a few months ago with a different story where they are apparently dying, but the current account makes no mention of that. curious!

@hideplueshi.bsky.social hey, just a heads-up - you might get a DM from this account pretending to be sam in regards to your recent conversation saying they have a paypal - if so, it is a scam and they are trying to steal your money

new stacy amondi, please be aware this is a scam

new conslata mwita

little late on this but conslata mwita is back, you know what to do

thought the steven mwita scammers were completely gone but here's a new martin kituyi, apparently he didn't get the memo

i know at least a few folks who have been swindled by the "pypal" scammer are following me so if you're willing to speak up, now's your chance

@thesundialcouncil.bsky.social hi, just so you know, this reply to you isn't from mahmoud - please do not send anything to this paypal, it is a scam

@jentoo.bsky.social hey, just a heads-up - you are probably already aware but this person is impersonating @berrygoodpup.bsky.social - please don't send anything to this paypal

@goldgrave.bsky.social heads-up, this post below is a scammer impersonating qsy, please don't send anything to this paypal

@backboneteller.bsky.social heads-up, this reply to you isn't @daemonbride.bsky.social, it's a scammer impersonating them, please don't send anything to this paypal

@neithird.bsky.social heads-up, this is not the person you were talking to, it's a scammer impersonating them

@isca.bsky.social bonjour, cette réponse ci-dessous est un arnaqueur se faisant passer pour la personne à qui vous parliez de paypal:

@dawalrus.bsky.social just a heads-up - this person replying to you is a scammer impersonating the artist you're asking about a commission - please do not add them on discord, you will get scammed

@thehumanstrobe.bsky.social heads-up - this reply in the screenshot isn't from mohamed:

@maconfleetwood.bsky.social heads-up - if you sent any money to this paypal, you've been scammed by someone impersonating @phillipsevy.bsky.social

new najma maol

@smenor.com your bot picked this one up, just fyi it's a scam

new juliety creation, now pretending to be from the philippines instead of gaza or america - please report

new fredrick lavi, using the "my daughter had three strokes" scam

not a new scam but a pretty prevalent one on bluesky - so-called "ukrainian animal rescues" are a dime a dozen on here. most of them have paypals or donor boxes with generic names like "STRAY LIVES" or "RESCUE THE ANIMAL". when in doubt, ask for their website or alternate means of contact!

@7thlilylady.bsky.social sorry to bother you - that ukranian animal rescue that just replied to you is likely a scam, take a look (they are using the same paypal as is listed in this post) bsky.app/profile/stev...

new (old) najma maol, went dormant a few weeks ago but recently restarted posting - please report

@cockycorvidae.bsky.social can you DM me real quick

@nanajadragfer.bsky.social heads-up - this reply in the screenshot below is from a scammer impersonating @kubby-kar.bsky.social with a similar but different @ - please do not send them anything

new scam alias! based on the weird name I'm guessing this is Kennedy Murunga, but I could be wrong. please report

@skpawlicki.bsky.social hey, just so you're aware, this reply to you is a scammer pretending to be anas - please do not send anything to this paypal account

Hey, this is just a general call but I'm interested in learning more about the "I reported your account" discord scam - if by chance anyone seeing this gets targeted would you be willing to reach out to me? I'd appreciate it ♥

@girlywolfpup.bsky.social hi, sorry to bother you - can you DM me when you see this? it's about someone impersonating you and scamming people on discord, I'm not sure if you're aware or not yet. if not, it's nbd, just wanted to make you aware :)
