Just got these messages from @seengoals@mastodon.social, one of the members of Gaza Verified, basically accusing me of running a fundraiser for Gaza and keeping the proceeds (I have no fundraiser on any fundraising site anywhere) and extorting me to share his fundraiser or he’ll apparently go public with it.
So here’s what’s going to happening instead: Nabil has been removed Gaza Verified (https://gaza-verified.org/warning/@seengoals@mastodon.social/) and I would urge caution in your dealings with him and that account in the future.
@staff, I would like to ask, when you have time, if you could please update his profile so the verified badge no longer appears as the verified status doesn’t automatically update once added.
For the rest of our Gaza Verified family, I am sorry for this unpleasantness but we will not entertain threats or extortion towards any of our volunteers.
Screenshot of Signal message from Nabil Zaqout to me. The full text is in the alt text of the Mastodon screenshots apart from this section: Do you think I believed you when I asked you why you were doing this to the people of Gaza, and you told me we're all human and we empathize with each other? Your answer was my first suspicion and the beginning of my analysis, but I remained silent until I got what I wanted. Do you think I believed you when you said you wanted to use Single instead of WhatsApp for privacy? I believed you about privacy, but what privacy?! I only recently understood what you meant. Don't test my intelligence or make me angry. I want to vent my anger on those who stole from us, our donations, and our lives personally, and I don't want to describe it any further. I just want a clear and straightforward answer. I don't want any other talk. Will you support this campaign of mine: https://chuffed.org/project/urgent-nabil-medical
And my reply: Hi Nabil, I have no idea what you're talking about and I am sorry but I will not be extorted. Needless to say, I have no idea what you're talking about. However, threatening me or any of the other volunteers at Gaza Varified to make us share your fundraiser is unacceptable and we will not tolerate such behaviour.

@aral I certainly won't tell you the details of the conclusive evidence for what I'm saying, so you don't delete it and protect yourself. I'll just give you clear hints. If you want to verify what I'm saying, simply ignore me again, and you'll see the evidence in the media and trending topics.

@aral & of course, I'll release a video myself to explain everything and show you what you're doing with the evidence. In short, I want you to support my new campaign, which explains exactly my situation in Egypt. Love and respect will remain between us, and forget what I told you. If you say no and don't do it and ignore me, I will publicize my campaign because of you when I am the one who discovers your true nature ... jojo

@aral & you're one of them, Arl. Should we talk, or should I send a detailed message to the government agencies, the responsible parties, the media, and international cybercrime investigations, explaining exactly what I'm saying? They'll certainly investigate you more thoroughly than they've done since you started working. Via Mailwizz, it won't take much effort-just 5 min and I'll press send to the list.
Private Mastodon message from Nabil to me:

@seengoals@mastodon.social
@aral I know what this campaign is that appears to be for someone from Gaza, and it's basically for you personally. I analyzed it, and it's for someone supposedly from Rafah, who knows nothing about it. I'm currently in Egypt, and this is my campaign: chuffed.org/project/urgent-nab...
I've discovered that more than one celebrity who supposedly supports the people of Gaza is actually exploiting this to create a campaign for their own personal gain.
