This is apparently a new and very gross scam apparently coined as a “cash slave”.
The one that many Tumblr users are falling for isn’t as obvious as the other one I found while fact checking. They’re usually very similar to porn bots and you probably didn’t notice how pornographic pay/pi/gbi’s header and icon are. I do not know just how much this scammer is doing or if they’re doing anything other than stealing personal information but if you know a minor who’s trying to get free money through this
WARN THEM THAT ITS STEALING BANKING INFORMATION AND PROBABLY DOING MUCH WORSE!
I was halfway incredulous since I know that Pay Pigs are in fact a thing, but yeah I’m not surprised by this.
All the ones I’ve seen going round are sexually explicit, and even if it’s *not* a scam (cause Pay Pigs are indeed a thing) most people don’t seem to be aware they’re engaging unwittingly in a kink scene.
I had to tell two of my followers today who brought it to my attention as something I might want to participate in, and both those followers were of non consenting age and didn’t realize that’s what was going on.
So if you are going to take your chances on the off chance it’s legit, do so with awareness and maybe tag it as NSFW so the kiddies aren’t seeing it and getting involved thinking it’s just a swell, depressed, rich guy giving away thousands of dollars out of charity.
