Using the ongoing genocide of Palestinians to rip people off has to be a new low.

This is not a new low at all. Scammers have always been doing things like this throughout all recorded cases of violence or crisis.
It makes it almost impossible to trust anything one sees on the internet, I certainly will not send money to any random website or handle without doing days worth of research and communication with those who are handling it.

Twitter has now become a place where in the name of free speech trolls are active and with the new blue tick policy, it is now easy for scammers to buy the tick and take scamming to the next level.

No one should trust a blue tick enough to be scammed by one.

Playing with the sentiments of innocent people has always been the goal of scammers. When they find an opportunity they would try to cash it for their own benefit and that is what is happening now. Twitter has now become a place where in the name of free speech trolls are active and with the new blue tick policy, it is now easy for scammers to buy the tick and take scamming to the next level. I have been out of Twitter after Elon took it over and changed its name to X.com.

Using the ongoing genocide of Palestinians to rip people off has to be a new low. Besides, money is not going to help Palestinians who are placed in a prison called Gaza that is surrounded on all sides by the terrorists who bomb them day and night with their US donated fighter jets and bombs.

So far, those addresses just have minimal value to none. But who knows, maybe there are gullible individuals who are going to support and then deposit some of their hard earn crypto and think that they are doing a good value. So this is a warning.

Usually in this type of scam, the scammer places some funds in those addresses to give the gullible fools a false sense of legitimacy hoping they fall for it easier.

As I have said in my previous post here, Malicious Red Alert apps, now scammers are using the war between the Israel and Hamas to create fake websites asking for humanitarian aid in Gaza. And it was reported that there are fake sites already mimicking the real one like this fake Twitter account:

Code:

https://twitter.com/gazareliefaid

If you look closely at this account, at the right side is the website that they are promoting. But it's a fake site:

Code:

https://aidgaza.xyz/

As we look closely at the domain information:

It was just recently created, but according to their fake twitter account, they have existed since 2011.

And if you clicked the Donate Button of the fake website, it will display 3 crypto addresses:

Bitcoin:

Ethereum:

Code:

USDT (TRC 20):

So far, those addresses just have minimal value to none. But who knows, maybe there are gullible individuals who are going to support and then deposit some of their hard earn crypto and think that they are doing a good value. So this is a warning.

I already sent an email to the domain registrar already to take action on this fake site:

Maybe you can also help in pressuring them by sending an email to: ~~[email protected]~~update: [email protected]

And if everyone is curious as to what is the real website?

This is the legit one: https://islamic-relief.org/news/islamic-relief-calls-for-support-for-humanitarian-aid-in-gaza/
