Not all admins/mods are good people, and sometimes you get proof of that fact. That includes taking advantage of the elderly and disabled.
The scam group known as Gaza Verified continues to do what scam groups do. That includes pressuring people — especially the elderly and disabled — into giving them large sums of money.
Unfortunately, reporting this behavior, even when it seems obvious, may not personally win you any favors, as someone recently learned.
The Fediverse has a scammer problem!
Concerned user:" Linux have you seen this guy: USER NAME @ mastodon.social?
Me:
He seems to be giving a lot to these accounts. I had a look at one of them, and he's given just one of them over £4k in about a month
(eg: https://chuffed.org/project/184394-hanadi-is-a-nurse-graduate-who-need-help-for-her-family).
I hope he's loaded, and he's giving wierd amounts, £9, £8, £50 and then lastly £500! 😕 "" I already have them on my block list because they were boosting the scam groups post and trying to help them raise money. They're one of their so-called supporters. Although, I haven't yet updated the GIT. The next update will have over 50 or so new accounts. "
Concerned user:" Linux :( he's giving them serious amounts of cash even though they keep guilt-tripping him :(
Me:
I did msg him to be careful, but never got a reply.
When I reported https://ieji.de/@hanadinurse88, and told them to stop harrasing the USER NAME guy, some modertor from leji.de reported me, just tagging random posts from me in the report... weird! "" That whole domain is in my blocked domain list for a reason. There are some sites that are complicit and other sites I suspect are in on it. The Internet and by extension the Fediverse is anonymous, and just became someone is a mod or admin, does not make them a good person. "
Me again:" post 2 of 2 (follow-up)

It seems they have removed hanadinurse88, but since they also reported you (to you, not knowing you are the admin of your own site), you see what I am dealing with.
Many scam groups show two sides... a legitimate side and a scammer side. It is how they manage circumstances to their advantage and manipulate moderation systems to evade accountability.
You did the right thing, and it was obvious, so someone couldn't ignore it. But you were also inconvenient to their operation, and so you were reported for voicing yourself.
