Okay, So I’ve been following @poeticcjabs since 2019 and I’ve seen her do countless fundraisers in the last year. 2 days ago she shared a gofundme for a Somali mother, I checked the page / organiser to see if it’s legit (as I always do before donating).
I couldn’t find ‘4giving charity’ anywhere online so I decided to DM her to ask for the contact details of the mother. (Told her it was for a friend so she doesn’t think I’m suspicious) She told me she doesn’t have it and that she sends the money to a ‘guy in somalia’
I asked her for the IG charity page bc I thought id see her previous work on there but the page has one vid from Dec2020 and 5 followers (2 are her account, and the other 3 are not actual people) 😭
I honestly still gave her benefit of the doubt and waited for the number.
Btw Idk why I had to wait for the number when she told me she’s sent money to him before? Anyways she gave me 254 number when the ‘mother’ is in somalia. She also didn’t know his name or anything about him ?
Anyways I messaged the number she gave me, and as you can see from the WhatsApp convo, It’s a confused Somali man in Dadaab, Kenya. He has absolutely no idea who or what I’m talking about 😭
When I came back to tell her the number she gave me belonged to w man in Dadaab, Kenya, this is what she responded to me. She’s been ignoring me for 24hrs. There’s no legal name or pictureon her socials. At this point idek if it’s a she 😭
Just to add, last year I messaged her about another fundraiser she did for a mentally ill somali mother, and this is what she said.
One of my Mutuals has told me he has seen her set up gofundme for people who haven’t even consented.
It’s honestly such a shame bc this sister or brother has a big platform and is scamming innocent people. Please before you donate to any charity, make sure it’s legit and don’t shy away from asking all the questions as there are some sick people in this world.
Where was this energy when you were ignoring me for 24hrs, giving me attitude and accusing me of having an issue with you ??
She refused to answer me, so she can answer the public.
