An Australian celebrity fell foul of a nasty scam by a criminal group pretending to be a Palestinian photographer.
“Israel prevented the introduction of financial aid into Gaza, where I created a donation campaign through PayPal, and I hope for the good people to donate even a little bit,” Murtaja wrote in the post.
“Her photos displayed a human side of Gaza and Palestine missing from the normal media portrayal of death and destruction,” Dawe tells“The photos told another more heartening narrative of young kids trying to survive and live their lives among the chaos of an ongoing war.”Dawe threw himself into the cause, creating collaborations of prints and gift cards, using his considerable profile in Australia to sell the merchandise.
The project had raised $3,000 and Dawe was ready to forward the money to a PayPal account. However, he then discovered that PayPal does not operate in Gaza, which immediately raised alarm bells. Dawe then offered refunds to everyone who had given money, but this enraged the scammers who, to this day, hound him for payment.
