This girl messaged me on Reddit asking for help, saying her boyfriend left her after finding out she’s pregnant because she missed her period for two months, and now she needs money for an abortion. She claimed they were in an 8-month relationship, she’s 21, and he’s 30. She also said her father has passed away, her mother is sick, her foster parents abuse her daily, and that she got beaten badly just for coming home 15 minutes late. She kept emotionally pushing me for ₹10,000.

At first, it sounded serious, but too many things didn’t add up.

I asked for her UPI QR code, and the number linked to it gave me more information. I checked it on Truecaller, then found her WhatsApp, which led me to her Instagram and Facebook profiles.

Here’s where it gets suspicious:

The same girl in her “injury photos” matched her social media photos exactly, including tattoos on her hand.

Her Instagram showed event-related profiles and normal lifestyle content.

Her Facebook showed her with her supposed “boyfriend” just 4 days ago, looking completely normal and happy.

She claimed they hadn’t spoken in 2 months, which clearly doesn’t match.

She said she’s 21 and already completed her Master’s from Jamia Islamia which makes very little sense timeline-wise.

(If someone starts college at 18, a normal undergraduate degree usually takes around 3–5 years, which already puts them at 21–22 just for graduation. After that, a Master’s typically takes another 2-3 years. So realistically, completing a full Master’s by 21 is highly unlikely unless there’s some very unusual academic path involved and nothing else in her story suggests that)

That was one of the biggest red flags for me. Her timeline just doesn’t add up, which makes the whole story even more suspicious.
A few more things made this feel even more suspicious.

I noticed her social media had rave/event-related content, which personally made me wonder whether the money story could be covering something else entirely. I can’t claim what her real situation is, and I don’t want to falsely accuse anyone of drug use or anything without proof but when someone’s story keeps changing and they’re aggressively asking strangers for money, it’s fair to question where that money is actually going.

Other Reddit posts also suggest she may have done similar emotional money scams before.
So the whole story started looking like a manipulation tactic built around sympathy, urgency, and guilt to get money from strangers.

I’m posting this so people stay careful.
If someone keeps pressuring you for money with a highly emotional story, always verify first. Genuine cases exist, but scammers also know exactly how to exploit kindness. Don’t send money just because the story sounds heartbreaking check facts, timelines, and inconsistencies first.

Watched this movie today.Although I didn't have much expectations from the movie and had gone only because it's made by guys from our city, this movie still disappointed me and I was really disheartened. I am not gonna comment on the technical or acting part of the movie because the creators are new to this field and it's not a very bad film either. What pricked me was the two main lead characters. So the movie is about a tribal girl "Maghi Munda" who comes from Kolebira,Simdega. Her brother 'Sandeep' has gone to join the Maoist party because the tribal MLA candidate he was supporting and idealizing turned out to be a typical Chor-Lutera politician that supports Diku oppressor-thekedar. Maghi Munda's parents are murdered and she is also threatened to leave the village. Maghi's fiance also refused to marry her. Tired and defeated Maghi then comes to Ranchi in search of work and guess whom she meets in Ranchi. SERAJ ANSARI. From that point it's a typical bollywood type love story, where they fall in love and have problems in their love life, eventually they are separated. After separation Maghi opens a band and names it SERAJ BAND BAJA, invites Seraj to inaugurate and goes on to become a very successful tribal entrepreneur. Now, the movie is advertised as a film based on tribal culture and problems of naxalism, but the movie hardly talks about the culture and naxalism. In the name of culture it literally only has two Sarhul Songs. Now the makers can make anything they want, it's their resources and their right, one should not question their artistic choices, but as a tribal myself I found it as a lost opportunity, i assume it's their first film and they wanted to make a film based on tribal culture and problems faced by them, there was no need to make it an inter-caste love story, Seraj could have been any other tribal person, you just change the main character's name and nothing changes, it's not even a typical inter-caste love story where the lovers have to face many difficulties because they come from different caste or religion, Seraj being a muslim person doesn't serve anything to the story. Now in the current political scenario where it can easily be called Love Jihad, it's beyond my understanding why the makers would deliberately try to create controversy. It feels like the makers went out of their way to create this problem so that their movie can create some buzz.

After the movie me and my partner were talking about this, and my partner asked me not to see the religious angle as it had nothing to do with the story, the boy doesn't force the girl to convert, or do anything against her will. I agree, it's not a so called love-jihad propaganda, it doesn't talk about any religion, it's just a love story. Me and my partner are fairly progressive and don't see everything with the prism of religion, but I only had one question at the end of the conversation "if we have a son, would you agree to give him a typical Muslim or Hindu name like Seraj, Abdul, Ram, Shiv, Shankar etc?? I don't know what's wrong with giving a tribal child such names, it just feels not right.

Giving love and respect to people across religious and caste boundaries is good, ethical and appreciable and I'm all for it. But doing it just for the sake of it or as a token is totally different in my opinion.

Do you guys think I'm overreacting or reacting to a non-issue? Should I change my perspective?? Am I being a casteist bigot? Or is my reaction justified?? Please do share your opinion. 🙏

Actually it was two but second one was not much visible

Hi everyone. I’m an 18-year-old student turning 19 soon, and I’m trying to build a future for myself while also caring for several dogs that I ended up rescuing/adopting over time.

I come from a financially struggling family, and currently I’m not earning yet. I want to pursue law as my career, which means the next few years are going to be very difficult financially even for my own expenses. Despite that, I cannot ignore these dogs because in my area many people do not care about stray or abandoned animals, and leaving them helpless is something I personally cannot do.

I have tried arranging help locally many times, but constantly asking people for money or support often creates conflict and is emotionally exhausting. Because of this, I’m now looking for kind people who may be interested in “virtual adoption” or monthly sponsorship for my dogs.

Virtual adoption simply means helping sponsor a dog’s food, medicines, vaccinations, or basic care while they remain under my care. Even small consistent help can make a huge difference.

I will always be transparent about expenses and provide updates/photos whenever needed. My only goal is to make sure these dogs stay fed, safe, and cared for.

If anyone is interested in helping, sponsoring, sharing this post, or guiding me toward animal welfare groups/rescuers, please message me. Even one share can help reach the right person.

Thank you for reading and for caring about animals who cannot speak for themselves.
