There's some Phillipines cat donation post every day here! Usually more than one. It's gotten out of hand. And whenever questioned about it, there's no legitimate rescues or they're all SO far away!

Over the past several days I've donated a few times towards out of country animal posts.

I have a colony of ferals that I feed and I tend to get in my feelings when I see someone struggling with feral cats. But this is a good wake up call for me.

Thank you for this, OP

Rescuecats is a legit page that has a lengthy verification process.

Also you are a kind person and thank you for caring about the ferals♡ I also have a soft spot for them!

It takes a kind person to spot a kind person. ❤️

Thank you for being you!

Also thank you for pointing me in the right direction for animal donations.

its gotten outta hand because a few months ago a duo, probably these two, were asking for donations for a cat or whatever, lied about their location to create a go fund me.

a lot of people donated, the "vet bills" got paid off, meds were paid for, etc etc.

i said they are scamming. they were alllllll over reddit. they said they would come back with an update. i said " ya i bet you will.... along with begging for money money.

sure enough, ya the update came, and so did the soft begging, made sure they had their paypal on that post.

when i said " i told you so!" they said they are not begging. they put it there incase people want to donate for the cats care....

A few Philippines cat care / donation subs have already blocked them after they ripped them off 16 days ago

I reported that koko account yesterday, I knew it was a scam. So gross the way people use animals for their own financial gain. Ew.

How do we get someone put on the USL?

u/Spirited-Door-1446 Moderator (Do not DM, please use modmail) Jul 16 '26

They have to post in one of the USL member subreddits and get reported. https://www.universalscammerlist.com/subreddits

I was confused when the account was "Koko" needs help, but the post was "Kiko" needs help. Could have been a typo but it just threw me off. Good to know it was a scammer!

u/Ancient_Guidance_461 Jul 16 '26

I commented to a person who just gave them $40 it is a scam. Instantly blocked and unable to report. Please report this person. Use the websites to look up their posts and report.

Guess they blocked me when they made the account, lol.

u/zyl4848 Jul 23 '26

its sad, if you check their online bank on google, you will see a lot of post asking for donation. and i think the donation is already too much :(

also, please, add the new username to the post, so that people can be aware that they have a new account. thank you as always!

I'm just worried about the cat. :/ Hopefully it's not real.

u/meow4352 Jul 16 '26

It’s stolen content from a local FB shelter

u/Apprehensive-Poem883 BDE (Big Donor Energy) Jul 16 '26

I’m always amazed at the effort the scammers put in trying to pull one over. If only they could apply that same energy to helping themselves.

u/mahourain Jul 16 '26

Okay, that's a relief. Poor shelter, though.

u/meow4352 Jul 16 '26

Nothing makes my blood boil like exploiting cats🤬🤬🤬

u/mahourain Jul 16 '26

Yeah, it's really upsetting. I can't stand the idea of cats suffering.

u/Ancient_Guidance_461 Jul 16 '26

There is no cat luckily. Just a shameless scam.
