7 Days Until Halloween 🍂🎃🍂

I used to walk past this blue plaque on a regular basis.

‼️Someone is scamming ME/CFS patients in my name ‼️ I need your help to report this scam to the authorities. I'm already having a really bad day and can't possibly do this myself. We need to stop these f**rs. Scamming ME/CFS patients for an already underfunded illness? How low can you get. If you donated to the fraudulent campaign please contact your card issuer immediately and pleaase consider donating to my legitimate campaign, Ron needs the funds. Here is my LEGITMATE fundraiser on Spotfund spot.fund/lgwxsktsc Here is the fake one, you can see the domain isn't even spelled right humanunityfoundation.org/cam… It's spelled "humanunity" This is what chatgpt said to do, with a script you can copy paste and send to these organizations. Please help and let's stop them and hopefully F them up a bit😉 SCRIPT ========= I am reporting a fraudulent fundraising campaign impersonating ME/CFS advocate Whitney Dafoe and exploiting his family’s work. Whitney Dafoe has confirmed that he did not create, authorize, approve, or benefit from this campaign. “Whitney Callister,” the listed organizer, has no authorization to raise money for Whitney, Dr. Ronald W. Davis, or their ME/CFS research. Fraudulent campaign: humanunityfoundation.org/cam… Whitney Dafoe’s legitimate fundraiser: spot.fund/lgwxsktsc The fraudulent page claims to have raised $41,200 from 428 donors and falsely labels the campaign “verified.” Its checkout identifies Stripe as its payment processor. The website provides no EIN, identifiable officers, physical address, or specific state of incorporation. Its domain was registered on August 3, 2026, despite displaying campaign and organizer activity supposedly dating from before that. This campaign is deceiving vulnerable ME/CFS patients and diverting donations intended for desperately needed research. Please immediately: Disable the campaign and prevent further donations. Freeze or hold all related funds and payouts. Preserve the organizer’s identity-verification, banking, transaction, access-log, and IP records for law enforcement. Investigate the entire Human Unity Foundation website for additional fraudulent campaigns. Provide a case or reference number if possible. ======= Please report it to these websites and let us know if you have. But the more reports they get the better so they act faster. It would be good if these people faced conseqeuences so it did not happen again. REPORT HERE: Do these today, in this order 1. Preserve evidence before the site changes. Save full-page screenshots/PDFs of the campaign, checkout showing Stripe, About, Contact, Terms, and refund pages. Preserve your correspondence, dates, headers, and the legitimate Spotfund campaign. Do not send the suspicious site identification documents. 2. Report it to Stripe immediately. Ask Stripe to disable payment collection, hold payouts, and preserve the merchant’s identity-verification, bank, IP, transaction, and account records. Use Stripe’s complaint form. Stripe’s own guidance says fraudulent transactions should also be disputed through the cardholder’s bank. Stripe fraud guidance 3. File an FBI IC3 complaint. The FBI specifically directs charity-fraud reports to IC3, and IC3 says to report even when uncertain whether a matter qualifies. File with IC3 and see the FBI charity-fraud guidance. 4. File with California’s Attorney General. The page claims Palo Alto, California, and California investigates fraudulent charitable solicitations. Use the California charity complaint form information. 5. Report the infrastructure. Report the complete campaign URL—not merely the homepage—to Dynadot, the domain registrar, and Cloudflare. Select fraud/phishing/impersonation as applicable. 6. Report it to the FTC: ReportFraud.ftc.gov. ‼️ Please repost and share! 🤬🤬‼️

Søren Kierkegaard, from a letter to his cousin Hans Peter in 1848... "Above all, do not forget your duty to love yourself; do not permit the fact that you have been set apart from life in a way, been prevented from participating actively in it, and that you are superflous in the obtruse eyes of a busy world, above all, do not permit this to deprive you of your idea of yourself, as if your life, if lived in inwardness, did not have just as much meaning and worth as that of any human being in the eyes of all-wise Governance, and considerably more than the busy, busiest haste of busy-ness — busy with wasting life and losing itself." The Yerres • Effect of Rain (1875) 🎨 Gustave Caillebotte
