<![CDATA[#Scam #Alert: There's another wave of "Registration/Verification" scams going on right now.]]> : There's another wave of "Registration/Verification" scams going on right now. I've suspended several today.

Mastodon admins will *never* message you to go click links or other shit like that to fix/save/unblock/verify/etc your account.

Any account with variations on "helper", "notification", "verification", and so on in their name are almost certainly a scam.

Report them.

Itโ€™s just a numbers game to them they donโ€™t even look as people as people.

To that one scammer from Jamaica that tried to con my Grandad out of 10k lying to him and saying he won a contest for $1 million and a Mercedes car, but my grand just had to pay 10 K to get it. To that scammer, go fuck yourself with a cactus.

But shocked to have it work here.
