Impersonators in bitshares social media
Yesterday I woke up with a message from one of the strongest voices in the bitshares community. If you have been around for a while, you should recognize fav.
It might sound innocent but it isn't. Because this fav was not fav.
The person kept changing the name of the account and when I snapped this one, he called himself TRIPS ENDING.
But as you can see, I answered to what I wasn't sure was fav.
Why I was sceptical to the PM
It's one simple reason: Fav has never had any reason to contact me.
The impersonators account:
The real Fav has number 1281.
It's not the first time
I have seen impersonators for other well known bitshares personalities, among them xeroc.
So watch out when you hang out an try to catch the latest gossip. You might get some sleazy offers from someone you think is a community elder. But turns out to be a stranger.
Play safe. Peace.
Thanks @funkit for information
Good to know, with all the airdrops going on it can be really hard to know if information is coming from true sources or not.
Thanks for the warning. I think its not a good feature that names can be reused on Discord.
No. It complicates everything. I'll change mine and claim to be trump.
Thanks for news
