What’s the best way to tell if an account is a bot/scammer?

I got a lot of new followers today. Thank you! I noticed a lot of them post the exact same post. Almost like looking at the same account with different names and PFP’s. That seems like too much of a coincidence and a red flag.

Unfortunately, unless I can figure out a way to verify that these accounts are real people and not bots.. I cannot zap in good faith. Right now the easiest way for me to “verify” you’re real is if you’ve put up your own money for a check mark.

I wish it didn’t have to be this way but I’m sure I’ve sent to hardest money to ever exist to scammers and bots and that just doesn’t sit well with me.

Focus on the people who engage directly with you. You certainly don’t have to zap anyone you’re not sure of.

No doubt, unfortunately almost all of them have said “GM, followed ✅” directly to me. Maybe I’m being paranoid haha. All their post look identical. Idk, appreciate your thoughts, ty!

That’s sad because then the real people miss out .mon the zaps ⚡️

They unfollow and refollow daily

I've got the same ones!

It’s the same 4-6 daily. And they may be legit accounts but it’s pointless behavior. It’s nostr. No one cares.

Direct mute

I mute a lot

This for sure!

I would dig up my #shoeOnHead picture but nostr search isn't great

An Idiot that called herself Bitcoin Manager scammed of my earn hard money 😡🥲 I consulted JBEE SPY TEAM when I was involved in a bitcoin trading scam. It was unknown to me that there were systematic ways to retrieve scammed funds. I came across a business website who promised a huge return on investment. I was so convinced. The website was good and after all the convincing, I ended up depositing 150,000 USD, unfortunately, I fell into the wrong hands. I was really devastated until I sent an email to an expert who came highly recommended to JBEE SPY TEAM

I gave him all the information about the scammer and this hacker also work together with the FBI., and within a few working days, they restored 85% of my BTC back to my wallet. I was shocked and glad at the same time. With trustworthy people like JBEE SPY TEAM I can 100% guarantee your money will be recovered back.

So sad

I just mute one by one 😅

This is best, though annoying. I also report the fake Jacks, Adams, Saylors, Natalie Brunells , Lyn Aldens, & Whitney Webbs.

Turismo is known for soliciting zaps, be cautious on zapping unless you really feel their vibe, and after checking their pfp because it will be easier to see patterns of sketch.
