**Possible Instagram scam using stolen dog videos to collect donations**  
Hey everyone, I came across what looks like a pretty disgusting Instagram scam and wanted to share it here in case anyone else has seen this account.  
There’s an Instagram page that has been posting videos of a dog that I recognize from another account I follow. The videos appear to have been taken from the original owner’s page, but this account is reposting them and pretending that the dog is theirs and is suffering from terminal lymphoma. They’re also saying the dog needs treatment and are asking people for donations.

I initially thought it might just be someone reposting content, but then I noticed that they’re actually using the videos to create a completely different story around the dog and collect money. I tried reporting the account, and apparently they’ve also been deleting/censoring comments where people mention the **actual original account**.

I’m pretty sure a lot of people seeing the posts would have no idea that these videos belong to someone else and might genuinely donate because they think they’re helping a sick dog.  
I’ve reported the account already, but I wanted to post this here so people are aware.  
**Please don’t harass anyone or go after the account owner. Just be careful about donating and report the account if you come across it.**

I attached screenshots of the original account @mame\_soyokaze and the fake one @lisatheblackdog
