When somebody impersonates you or your brand on @farcaster, what should someone do? #AskingForAFriend

Someone created a fake fairmint account (I am not linking to not give them any publicity) and an associated scam token on @clanker. 

I understand that, at the protocol level, nothing can be done but is there a way to report the impersonator to the farcaster client team @dwr.eth ? 

What about Clanker @dish ? The token is created and nothing can be done but is there a way to remove it from the clanker website at least?

The Anatomy of a Farcaster Scam (and how to avoid them)

1. An account you’ve most likely never interacted with will send you a DC. 
2. The DC will compliment you or your work and ask for some type of collaboration, consulting job, testing, etc. 
3. If you reply, they may throw out a large number for compensation and ask to have a call to discuss terms. 
4. Usually, right before the agreed meeting time, something will go horribly wrong. The Google Meet or Zoom link they sent won’t work. 
5. You will panic. 
6. They will pressure you that if you can’t meet in the next few minutes, they will need to move to the next candidate on the list. 
7. But magically they will have a solution: they have another video conferencing tool that you can download right now and they know it works. 
8. You click the link without a second thought. 
9. You’ve been scammed and now they drain your wallet with malicious software. 

Let’s show a real life example.

We basically gang up on scammers. You hit the 3 dots by the cast and hit fraudulent. 

When enough good accounts do this, the team notices and nerfs them quickly.

It seems that the "Fraudulent" option doesn't exist anymore ☹️ 
I reported it (i.e. "fairmintdotcom" user) as "other" but I wish I had the option to say "Fraudulent" because that's really the best qualificative.

Just tried on mobile and I also don't see the Fraudulent option 🤷 
You clearly were entrusted with a higher level of moderation power than me on farcaster ;)

Weird, i just took the screenshot from mobile.
