A Buy Me a Coffee page may copy a creator’s name just as a campaign begins. Follow the donation link from the creator’s established account before contributing.

Check the campaign and donation page

  1. Compare the exact page URL with links on the creator’s website or known social accounts.
  2. Check campaign posts, membership details and product offers against the creator’s announcements.
  3. Review earlier posts for context rather than relying on copied profile text.
  4. Compare outbound links and payment instructions with the creator’s usual destinations.
  5. Confirm urgent donation requests that appear only on an unfamiliar page or private message.

What to include in a report

  • The donation page URL and screenshots of copied branding.
  • The creator’s published campaign link and any conflicting destinations.
  • Dated solicitation messages or payment instructions.
