Some clients are better about this than others.
You can tell, if you look at their npub instead of their display name, that they are two different Jacks, but determining which is an impostor takes a bit more digging.
One way would be to look at how many followers they have, and that would definitely work in this case. However, follower counts can be gamed. A determined impostor could set up a bunch of random npubs to follow their scam account to inflate the follower numbers.
Web-of-Trust and/or pagerank are the much better tools
For instance, if I go over to #Coracle and compare the two accounts, this is what I get:
Impostor Jack:
Real Jack:
And if you go to https://npub.world and search for "Jack," this is what you will get for your results using pagerank:
The real Jack is the first result, and no impostors are returned at all. And if we open up his profile there, we see this:
The real Jack has over 43k REPUTABLE followers. So not just random npubs that were spun up to inflate a following number, but actual users.
So we have the tools available to us to avoid following bots and scammers. We just have to know how to utilize them.

Oh wow!!! Good to know and clearly I have a lot more to learn! Thank you for this info!
āWeāve already seen that we canāt wait for our leaders to change things for us.
But #Bitcoin gives us hope.
Hope for financial freedom.
Hope for a new system.
If we truly care about building a better future for the next generation, then we must confront the real fight. Not fight between genders, races, or social classes.
Itās a fight against a broken system.ā

A couple of you I follow have been duped into following nostr:npub140y92268lyyjlfd5re54vyzyx44ewknnwjvngmt2xsx5mgxhywessq5lw9 instead of or in addition to the real nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m, which has allowed him access to my WoT relay.
Sorry gents, but you will need to be added to the retard list so your follows are not taken into consideration for my WoT any longer.
Which Jack is the real Jack? Looks like those 2 are the same, and it looks like I follow the dupe oneā¦?
New #GrowNostr t-shirts available for anyone who helps me make my dream of getting out of banking and going full-time #Nostr education a reality. Designed by hand by yours truly!
The icons at the base of the roots represent the foundations of the Nostr protocol: public/private key-pairs, clients, and relays.
Had to learn Inkscape to design these, because I absolutely refuse to touch an Adobe product that I have to pay a subscription for.
They're available at my new nostr:npub1market6g3zl4mxwx5ugw56hfg0f7dy7jnnw8t380788mvdyrnwuqgep7hd store and on my nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9.fund project page, and if purple shirts aren't your thing, they also come in black, a couple shades of gray, and a natural cream color.

This is awesome! Congrats my friend!!! LETS GO!!!
Yes growing up for us was different (and fucking badass amazing), but it really is different now. We babysat ourselves, or had baby sitters that were like 11 years old! š
Surround yourself with like-minded, Bitcoin-focused creativesāthose who bring energy, inspiration, and joy to these renaissance/rebirthing #Bitcoin times weāre living in.
From builders to investors, developers, coders, IT professionals, miners, node runners, philosophers, writers, teachers, leadersā¦and of course the artists, content and meme creators - every role truly matters.
Weāre all needed to help shape the Satoshi #Satosphere Bitcoin world we want to live in.
We are all #Satoshi.
We build.
We create.
We learn.
We grow.
We stack.
We spend.
LFG!
