1. Riesgos de Estafas y Verificación de Identidad.
La disponibilidad limitada de PayPal en Gaza genera dudas sobre la legitimidad de las solicitudes de donación, lo que lleva a los usuarios a enfatizar la importancia de la verificación y la precaución.
- And as always- please be cautious about calling these out- i know several gazans who do raise on paypal- paypal alone does not mean someone is a scammer.
- Be wary about paypal links, theres scammers fucking around trying to take advantage of peoples good will towards gazans.
- Actual gaza fraud- once again if a gazan is soliciting only on paypal i would ask quite a few more questions before donating doesnt mean they are a fraud just direct paypal solicitions with no gfm are both rare from gazans and easier to fake from these low effort scammers.
2. Dificultades de Acceso a PayPal en Gaza.
Muchos usuarios señalan que PayPal no opera en Gaza, lo que plantea interrogantes sobre cómo los residentes pueden acceder a los fondos donados y si las solicitudes son legítimas.
- Paypal isnt available in palestine. And these are set up from a small group of maga peoples names and addresses.
- One palestinian in gaza that i messaged with told me that the paypal website is blocked in gaza.
- This issue is not limited to donation funds only. All gazans working for agencies like unrwa and others suffer from the same problem. Neither paypal nor gofundme have any relation to these commissions the problem lies solely within gaza due to the siege imposed on its residents.
3. Alternativas a PayPal y Estrategias para Donar de Forma Segura.
Ante las dificultades con PayPal, se sugieren alternativas como GoFundMe, Chuffed y donaciones a organizaciones benéficas establecidas, además de enfatizar la importancia de investigar y verificar la autenticidad de las campañas.
- Im sorry. I tried, but. I dont use paypal, i can donate only by credit card. Usually, people from palestine use gofundme.
- Chuffed and paypal are currently the more streamlined ways of getting funds to people in gaza! please share, and donate if you can !!
- If you want to support people in gaza, donate through a trusted ngo like doctors without borders !
4. El Papel de GoFundMe y sus Limitaciones.
Si bien GoFundMe se considera más seguro debido a sus procesos de verificación, también enfrenta críticas por cerrar campañas palestinas y retener fondos, lo que lleva a algunos a preferir PayPal a pesar de sus riesgos.
- Gofundme vets all gaza fundraisers due to racism so youre good there.
- If you wonder why palestinians ask for donations via paypal, gofundme unfairly shuts down campaigns, while chuffed leaves proven scams up. Among other reasons. Is nowhere safe for palestinians?
- Gofundme has been refusing to pay out multiple palestinians donations to them, despite the worsening war and increasing difficulty of proving identity given the destruction of their infrastructure. Chuffed and paypal are more reliable at the moment please help alaa!
5. Cuentas de Terceros y la Necesidad de Confianza.
Ante la imposibilidad de abrir cuentas de PayPal en Gaza, se recurre a amigos o familiares en el extranjero, lo que exige un alto grado de confianza y plantea interrogantes sobre la transparencia en la gestión de los fondos.
- Just having access to paypal does not mean its a scam. Palestinians have friends around the world who act as organizers and receivers and get the money sent to them. If the person is asking you to only paypal, thats when to tap the breaks. Especiall in dms.
- Maisas gofundme receiver couldnt go on doing it so she had a friend set up a paypal fundraiser smidge different than just paypal. There is nothing inherently wrong with a gazan raising on paypal- and maisa is a real person in gaza whos family needs help.
- 1. Payment services like paypal dont do business in gaza. So these campaigns inevitably have a middleman or woman from another country, whom donors are trusting to pay the palestinian at the other end. Theres nothing to stop them from pocketing the money and walking away.
