I got scammed out of €500+ by someone impersonating a Palestinian journalist during a humanitarian crisis — and both @PayPal & @RevolutApp are refusing to help.
Here’s how it happened — and how they’re letting scammers thrive. ⬇️ @guardiannews@BBCNews@AJEnglish
This isn’t just about me.
Scammers are exploiting compassion — and these platforms are making it easy.
Share. Tag journalists. Demand action.
We deserve financial protection — not silence.

@PayPal blamed their “Friends & Family” policy.
@RevolutApp denied my chargeback even after seeing all this evidence.
Both companies have the full paper trail. Neither is acting.
I found the real Bisan Owda publicly stating:
“This is my only account.”
I showed her the scam accounts. I provided this to PayPal. They still refused a refund. @consumerhelp_ie @WhichUK@andydiggle@FSPOnline
The scammer pretended to be @wizardbisan using fake Telegram + Twitter accounts.
They claimed urgent need for Gaza evacuation funds — and had me send “Friends & Family” PayPal payments to a woman named Iffat Zehra Kazmi. @jessbrammar@simonmurdoch
