#Scams #Fraud #NigerianPrince Please be careful people. We have noticed Mastodon is not immune from #Phishing profiles. In common with any site we can give you some pointers and warnings.
They have an empty profile.
Pictures look too good to be real. In fact they may be stolen from porn sites or are dashing soldiers or medical people, but do a reverse image search. (Yandex is excellent at that.)
They follow you for no reason and there is an obvious age difference.
They use odd names similar to Luvbaby123.
They do one toot that says little,
They do not participate or relate to anything in a way real people do.
This list is not definitive so use your judgement and do not share personal info. DO NOT SEND MONEY, CARDS, or BITCOIN-- EVER.
Report your suspicions to admins and mods Hopefully, action will be taken, unlike on Fakebook and other social media sites.
