Fyi, it looks like the Gorom/kakuma refugee camp scams have made their way to Mastodon.
For those not familiar, these are a common scam on Reddit. Groups claim to be from these refugee camps and will post, comment, and DM every person they can to try and get money.
These ARE NOT REAL!
Please report and block them as they appear. 1/2

To clarify, there is some evidence these refugee camps exist. It is also likely there are queer people living there who are not treated well.
But numerous people have worked hard to verify the legitimacy of these accounts asking for money and it is all-but-confirmed they are fake and simply scams.
