I just wanted to say that I think KeralaDee/BaileyDee is scamming mutual aid.

https://hexbear.net/post/8998152

This is at least the third time - with months apart - I've seen someone post that they have a life threatening tooth abcess and need thousands of dollars. It's always the same post, although the previous ones appear to have been deleted, the payment methods requested are sometimes the same as those used for the poster BaileyDee who is always claiming to be having hypoglycaemic episodes and in desperate need of money.

Other people have made posts explaining why this person's behaviour is scammy, someone named sphere said they asked a doctor about this and BaileyDee would have to be treated for free at a hospital for hypoglycaemia and that would last for weeks, they would not need to make posts like this.

Someone named blockocheese already reported baileyDee and KeralaDee for being alt accounts for the same person and scamming mutual aid but nothing was done.

They also appear to have had another alt account, CassandraD, asking for money for food and using BaileyDee's paypal account. The CassandraD account was banned.

Also these accounts don't engage with hexbear in any way other than to ask for money. All of their posts are just mutual aid requests. https://hexbear.net/u/BaileyDee

Please ban this person as their scams mean other genuine people go without help.

Thanks for posting this. I recently submitted some of the same information you've documented here to an admin, who shared the info with the rest of the team; they determined that it was appropriate to ban BaileyDee and CassandraD, and have since banned KodyGerba and KeralaDee as well (both other alts of the same person).

To any donors out there reading this: please know, if you were among those who gave to this person, that you are not alone. I myself gave this person a total of $275 over the course of a few months a couple of years ago, when they first started posting here.

I gave them like $10. The thing is, "mutual" means mutual. And that means if they're a frequent poster here who's absolutely up against the ropes, I might cover a month's rent, but if they're not really a Hexbear poster, the budget is less than a meal.
