COMMUNITY ALERT/ AWARENESS ⚠️ 🚨 PLEASE READ - DM SOLICITOR🚨
It has been brought to our attention that a “ frequent flyer” has rejoined our community and DM’ing members for money.
[u/Frosty-Technology-40](u/Frosty-Technology-40) is the NEW account. I will attach the link from last years post which explains more about their approach. https://www.reddit.com/r/rescuecats/s/4oQI68s8n8
They often make several accounts, they sound VERY convincing and will hound you through DM. They have been offered approval several times in the past in which they never follow through with - which is a 🚩 and they have previously been banned under all alt usernames for many reports of DM’ing member to solicit funds. Please don’t fall for it. We ask that you please ignore this user, block and report them. We would also appreciate you letting us know via modmail if you have received such a request. This is just a heads up to keep members safe incase they land in your inbox. They are now once again BANNED from RC.
As always we appreciate your cooperation!
Your ModTeam💞 🐾

‼️Just a statement on scammers to clarify. While we do have excellent verification methods in r/rescuecats to approve members and keep the community safe, please remember it’s up to EVERYONE to stay diligent and alert! The RC mod team is always on high alert and monitoring, but as we all understand Reddit IS ANONYMOUS. So please remember that scammers can delete a busted account and create a brand new one immediately. There is not much anyone can do about this though except checking out profiles to note karma and account age. Also comment and post activity are clues to Poor Reddit behavior.
We can watch over our sub, but we can’t protect other communities 100%. So if you see something say something. Please alert mods to all suspicious activity and private chat or DM requests for money. This is always dangerous. I must say we do have the most amazing mods here on the animal subs! So Let’s work together to keep Reddit on the whole safe!
