this is a pretty sophisticated scam attempt on X. not sure what's going on or how this is possible. if i click the profile it goes to mario's real profile. 2.2M followers. i don't really understand. i reached out to X support to flag it for them. nothing material back yet. curious to see what they say.

I get a few of these a week. All from media accounts. They all use roughly the same message and want to hop on a Zoom.

Be careful!

Yeah seems like potentially a major vulnerability in X DMs.

I assume they want to get you to download something?

Pretty crazy that it comes up as their actual profile.

It’s about getting you to plausibly download something.

wild how zoom becoming the primary way to scam people

The "not followed by anyone you're following" is sus though

i got one in my email that was an invite to interview at a fake magazine. they had a website and everything. looked really believable

reply guys

🚨treat all unsolicited direct messages as scams🚨

go to your settings in FC and X to shut down DMs from accounts you don't follow

and be wary of unsolicited offers in messages from accounts you do follow, in case the account has been hacked

before I locked down my DMs, I never received an unsolicited message that wasn't a scam

they just want to sufficiently decentralize your money

I could see Mario actually doing this (just kidding … sorta)

This is nothing to do with X dm issues. Just grifters being grifters looking for tokens to dump.

They really are leveling up their game🤦🏼‍♂️

I ignore 100% of those messages. Some from gold badge verified accounts even. All look scammy af

Classic copy-paste outreach smells like a trap every time.

farcaster is full of those...
the amount of dc`s i receive inviting me to test a new game or an interview for a job position or an interview for a blog is insane.

Damn!!! Look at the number of followers 2.2M 👀

People are so scamy!!!
