good deal!

hey just so you know you're talking to a scammer impersonating @frostpebble.bsky.social (look at the zero in the @)

heads-up - this reply in the screenshot below is from a scammer impersonating @futurewas8bit.bsky.social with a similar but different @ - please do not send anything to this paypal

the short answer is i know this scammer intimately and we've butted heads many times over the last year

just making sure 👍

heads-up this is not @monkeykg.bsky.social

this one is marked as spam but be wary of anyone using the name "hellen oloo" going forward (the scammer is likely to change their paypal alias in a few days)

Been a while since I saw a Steven Mwita scammer but here's a new (old) one. The "I need an insulin pen" scam is pretty much word-for-word what they use.

@dillonopossum.bsky.social hey, sorry to bother you randomly - I had a question about someone who scammed you out of a few bucks recently. Would you be able to DM me if you'd be OK with that?

Another new alias, same MO - steals posts and images from popular posts, follows several thousand people en masse, then immediately starts asking for MA. Please block and tell your friends if you see them reposting these.

no problem!
