If you’re part of a fandom and use social media, you’ve probably, at some point, received an unexpected message from an account claiming to be one of your favorite artists. They may initially thank you for being a loyal and devoted fan before making a request.

Former DAY6 member Jae (also known as eaJ) shocked his fans when he uploaded a post via X (formerly Twitter) that looked a lot like these scams. He warned fans that if he ever asked for money, he would only want them to donate via the attached link.
If you click on the link, you will be taken to a website where you can donate to help people in Gaza access the internet via eSIM.
As of October 2023, the death toll in Gaza Strip it has reportedly passed at least 43,061 people, including 16,765 children Al Jazeerawhile at least 101,223 people were injured due to Israeli attacks. More than 10,000 people are missing and Palestinians in Gaza are struggling to survive as they starve, are displaced and have lost homes, family and friends.
Israel’s policies and actions in its continued occupation and administration of the Palestinian territories have sparked accusations of committing the crime of apartheid. Prominent Palestinian, Israeli and international human rights groups have stated that the totality and severity of human rights violations against Palestinians residing in the occupied territories, and by some also in Israel, amount to crimes against the humanity of ‘apartheid. Israel and some of its Western allies have rejected the accusation, with the former often labeling the accusation anti-Semitism.

Initially, fans thought that eaJ was simply mocking the scammers who attempted to impersonate him. However, they realized that he was simply trying to click them for a worthy cause.
We love a man with not only a sense of humor but a good heart who stands up for others.
