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.

They traditionally will ask you to talk to them on WhatsApp or Telegram at some point

I actually have only gotten a few messages the last month or two that were suspicious. Most of these accounts that I took note of through Gigbot this week seem to be at least two months old but only recently have become active again. Maybe the pro subscription and some other development recently have reawakened some nefarious actors?
