An Australian celebrity fell foul of a nasty scam by a criminal group pretending to be a Palestinian photographer.
Bryan Dawe, 74, a noted satirist, comedian, and writer, came across a Facebook post by a woman named Sarah Murtaja who claimed that her Canon 5D Mark III had been destroyed by an Israeli bombardment of Gaza.
“Israel prevented the introduction of financial aid into Gaza, where I created a donation campaign through PayPal, and I hope for the good people to donate even a little bit,” Murtaja wrote in the post.
