SCAMMER BEHAVIOR ALERT:

I am starting to notice that GigBot miniapp is being used to boost the follower numbers of accounts that seem to fit the mode of operation used by pig butchering scammers. I have a background in this area after being an executive of a non profit anti-scam organization for 2 years and being featured in articles, a book and podcasts for my work.

Other things to look for on these accounts:

- typically use pfp of young, attractive, Asian women
- early casts are often copy/paste info from crypto industry news sources
- a lot of them actually paid for pro
- linked low quality Twitter accounts

I would expect these accounts will likely begin to cold direct cast people to develope a relationship and offer investing advice or try to get people to download malware.

I'm not sure how Farcaster is dealing with this sort of thing if I report these accounts. Please let me know if I can assist in fighting this trend in any fashion @dwr.eth @v. I apologize for tagging you if are already aware.

Don't fall for these scammers guy, stay safe on Farcaster.

It's still young and many will try to take advantage of it.
