“Rainbow Railroad receives hundreds of requests for help every year from countries where LGBT individuals are open targets of violence.
Because the volume of requests is so high, we focus our efforts on assisting LGBT people who have faced physical violence or face an imminent threat of violence, imprisonment, or death.
We have been successful in helping individuals from the Caribbean, Africa and Middle East where we have local networks to support and validate cases.”
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO HELP?
“The costs range as every case is unique. Sometimes the individual has the resources to help themselves and they just need information and support from us to make a move. In these cases, the cost to Rainbow Railroad is staff and volunteer time to research and provide information. In cases where they need financial support to get to safety, it costs about $5000 to cover flights and other related costs.”
The most common hack is from someone with a bunch of h’s….
If you click it…. it takes you to this google docs “sign in” page. When in reality, google doesn’t require you to put in your password to view a document if you’re already logged in.
One you type in your password into this scam, boom. Your account is hacked and the hacker will use your account to send more scam emails.
So yeah, DO NOT CLICK ON THIS DOCUMENT. I know this is a very busy time in the school year and students have a bunch of google docs projects and essays to do, so it’s possible some people will click it thinking it’s for school. But please, be careful and don’t click on a google docs email unless you’re 100% sure someone you know is sending you one.
Please spread this around bc I would absolutely lose my shit if this happened to me during a project and don’t want any of ya’ll to go through that.
This literally just happened to my entire campus.
heads up this isnt a gmail only thing!! my mom uses yahoo (i know, i know) and she got one that was “from” my english teacher. the yahoo account might be connected to her backup gmail somehow, idk. but anyway, this is seriously happening to a lot of people, enough that my school sent out a district-wide email about it. remember the old wisdom, kids: if it seems shady, it probably is.
this is the offical ‘i care’ symbol this is how it works: basically you reblog this and your followers know that you care and that they can message you about anything anon or not and you will reply back or at least look at there message. if you care about your followers please reblog
