Ferris returns after many years to talk to you about something important! This is a PSA I put together for Twitter regarding a surge of vet bill scam posts I’ve been seeing there, and red flags to look out for! I am NOT saying any post asking for help is a scam. What I’m saying is these scams exist, are becoming more common, and to do your due diligence before sharing or donating. Help is a limited resource, so we want to make sure it gets into the right hands. <3

It seems these scams are appearing on Tumblr now too. Here is a great post about this growing problem: https://www.tumblr.com/panspock/708275904833617920/psa-cat-medical-bill-scam

Additionally, on both Tumblr on Twitter, it seems like these scam accounts reblog/retweet a bunch of stuff to look legitimate, but lack much (if any) original posts due to the high amount of turnover - an easy thing to check!
