The account at https://troet.cafe/@m7moodfamily (@m7moodfamily@troet.cafe) is a scam. It’s got hundreds of posts even though it joined yesterday and it links to gaza-verified.org even though we have not verified it.

I’m also seeing copies of the account on troet.cafe and elsewhere. Be careful with any accounts that contain “moodfamily” in the name.

I reported it to troet.cafe yesterday but no action has yet been taken.

If there is a real Mahmoud family account please contact me and we’ll verify you.

If you’re the person running the scam accounts: stop! You are stealing from starving people in Gaza. Shame on you. Have you not an ounce of humanity?

@aral @palestine How do you verify people? Do you ask to talk over camera and have them show you id etc?

@aral @palestine I block the whole domain. Full of pro-Russia accounts trolling anyone who supports Ukraine also.

Crime likes crime.

@aral

I got spammed by that one earlier, and reported it. Looks like it's gone now.

@burnoutqueen @palestine I’m sorry 😞 The people who do this are the lowest of the low.

@aral what do you think about adding a page "SCAM" on https://gaza-verified.org/ to list "verified" scam accounts ?

@nizarus @palestine Thank you for the suggestion but that’s not the purpose of the site. Verified scam accounts must be removed by server admins.

I will, however, add very general instructions on how to recognise the automated scam accounts so people don’t fall for them.

@aral @palestine Just like the ones who constantly steal the life savings from retirees, they don't care. They may even be against Gaza's existence and want to punish those who aren't.

@aral There is this account by someone with the same name, focusing on his family, verified by Molly Shah:

@aral @palestine Only vermin would pretend to be a family trapped in one sided war zone.
