I also got the dm. But this profile is not nip5 verified, it shows a disclaimer in the cover image telling to check nip5, therefore shows that the profile is a malicious impersonation. Some plebs may fall for that, unfortunately

I'm using amethyst. It shows that, but the profile is not really nip5 verified were it should appear.

Oh that’s the banner image

would be nice if the pages that used nip-05s in their usernames that belong to another owner should have a disclaimer saying it’s a β€œscam” or β€œspam”

Yes, it's the banner image. But do you see the nostrplebs verified checkmark on the fake profile?

nope, but new users don’t know about verified checkmarks on owned NIP-05’s

there’s none

they set their username field to the NIP-05 so it appears confusingly similar to an actual NIP-05 on some clients
