Yep, my impersonator has that message but with a different lnurl. Cameri also has an impersonator using the same message.

Me too, I feel like I've made it to the big time now I have an impersonator. 🤣

Looks like it's the same person, my impersonator is spamming the same message.

Weird thing I just realised is that the lnurl in that spam message is actually my own lnurl from my profile.

So they're not even trying to make sats out of it, just trying to make it look like it's me. Feels personal, no idea what I could've done to offend someone on here though 🤷‍♀️

Looks like my impersonator is still spamming with free sats messages.

Not sure if they're still doing anything else (they were spamming empty badges yesterday too) but want to reiterate that *this isn't me* and ask you to please block #[1]

It's cool man 🙏

Bloody spammers, scammers, and impersonators! It's a learning process for all of us on how best to deal with them.

Yep, we're going to need to get better at checking NIP05 and public keys, I'm sure the impersonator situation will grow more and more alongside adoption.

No, but if you've got another 100k to invest I've got a great idea... just DM me for details ;) 🤣

Please always check the public key with things like this, I'm already aware of a few solid people who no longer follow me after this and I'm sure there are others

(not that I really care about follower count that much but I do care about my reputation)

https://void.cat/d/3LBA9xLdCYwT2DCTMNLqpg.webp why are you creating and awarding these single letter badges without an image? Not cool.

I'm not, it's an impersonator who copied my profile and is spamming and making it look like it comes from me! Please check the public key, it isn't mine ;)

Haha! That's actually a great idea 🤣

I got my first social media impersonator, does that mean I've "made it" now? 🤣

Thanks 🙏

I've not looked much in to badges much yet, it should be clear by the public key that it didn't come from me though. I just looked on badges.page and I can see I also got awarded a load of badges from that impersonator account.

Pura Vida, nosrtiches.

This definitely wasn't me, just an impersonator.

I'm over here trying to build anti spam features in to my client, whilst some spiteful idiot is trying to make it look like I'm spamming. 🙏 #[1]

No idea, at the moment all I know is they've copied my profile and are spamming a free sats message. I'm really hoping they're not sending DMs or anything else that look like they come from me. Just block them ;)

Only if I've become scammer and spammer in the future :/

No, I haven't created any badges! Chance would be a fine thing but my time is being taken up working on other things.

Has someone been creating inappropriate badges that appeat to be coming from me?

Looks like I have an impersonator. Not sure why they'd send me a hello message by DM so that I can see. Weird 🤷‍♀️ Am I supposed to be threatened or something!?

Feel free to block #[1]

Fuck off scammer
