[quote=Anonymous]NextDoor and our local FB groups it started during the pandemic. That first pandemic Christmas was the real uptick with lots of requests for Christmas gifts. There would always be a couple of people who would post a warning about scams but loudly get called out for being terrible.

Fast forward to the pandemic nearing the end and there was a subtle shift. Occasionally people would go back to those gift and money requests and update the person or situation wasn’t what they claimed in the original post for help. After that I began to notice that instead of posters being sympathetic and offering to buy something or send money, they began posting links to community resources. And that trend has continued. The number of sob stories and requests for gifts and money has decreased.

IMO one person figures out a group will be generous and then just starts making multiple accounts with multiple fake names and stories and photos of kids. This way they have multiple streams of income. [/quote]
