Hello everyone!
An ex mod of this community (jawa21) just reached out to us about being in need of monetary assistance.
Ok, I’m sorry I left but I am legitimately at the point of begging. Things are real bad. I’m at the point of begging. I could make another account, but it would be less credible. I love you all, but I am about to be broken in jail. They will not respect my gender at all. I’m begging everywhere I can. I’m trying to make it worth while at https://fosswars.thecomicseries.com/ and the donation link is https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jawa21 Any kind of post on Lemmy anywhere might help.
I was given permission to share this, but I’ve redacted the links for now. I will unredact if people seem to largely support this being here.
She has mentioned that she’ll be in prison by tomorrow unless she can pay bail her fine. Apparently she needs or needs to pay about 1k. She’s rather scared of what will happen to her there. The first link is to a webcomic she makes and the second as described in the text is her donation page.
This is not the usual stuff posted on 196 and I can’t see a mutual aid community or similar here on blåhaj so we decided to ask the community if this would be fine to post here. Also, if you know a more appropriate community please share.
Edit: Unredacted, as comments mostly positive or neutral. She says she meant fine and not bail.
Edit: I’ve been provided with a picture of a notice of arraignment. I personally fully believe her.
You must log in or register to comment.
What are the odds they’re getting one of those scam calls from the “sheriff’s office” and the bail is supposed to be in iTunes gift cards?
The person could be legitimately scared, but you don’t normally get to pay bail to avoid arrest, you get arrested and pay bail to avoid being held in jail until your court day.
Edit:
I see three possibilities:
-it’s all fully legit. The cops somewhere are legitimately threatening this person with imprisonment unless they can pay up. Extortion like this is never a one-time event. They’ll keep coming back for more and more money until they can’t pay up anymore and arrest them anyway. Your best bet here is to flee the area to somewhere safer rather than pay up.
-The person is legit, but the threat of arrest is a scam.
-The whole post is a scam
I’ve been provided a picture of a notice of arraignment, so I’m fairly certain this is real.
yeh she was drunk and didnt word her first messages right XP but the post is updated now :3 also Ive talked with her and she tried to explain the situation better while she sobers up and asked me to send the important messages here
o btw she’s in the usa
I committed a crime while gay. The sentence was time in jail and a fine. I went to jail. Ontop of that I have to pay
It was very bad :( Now I might go back for… how long the judge sentences me for failing to pay the fine and ummm, allegedly burning Teslas
I’ve have about $40 so enough to eat for a bit
I wish I had an [lemmy] account to explain things better as I sober up
Am I correctly understanding that she’s one of the people arrested for allegedly torching Teslas, or is that a joke?
yeh I guess so, I didnt ask if that was a joke
Yeah this smells real fishy.
What country? Was there any verification beyond the private message? All arrests records are public.
probably the trans communities are better than the meme community.
Not sure this is the best place for mutual aid long term but time seems limited and i think it should be unredacted
This person I wouldn’t mind helping. My contribution would be a drop in the bucket, but maybe more can help.
