Please report & block any #fraudulent #MutualAid posters because those spam scammers harm people like me - who are asking for help via mutual aid posts here. Please never donate to anyone before checking their profiles (including mine!). Please avoid donating to anyone who has zero posting history here. Please avoid donating to anyone who has ONLY mutual aid posts & not much else. Please forgive yourself(if you've been scammed) & learn how not to be scammed by fraudulent grifters who are playing upon peoples' compassion & abusing kind, caring folks for their own selfish & dishonest wants - not needs. Please keep helping people who are transparent & truly need mutual aid assistance.
