Ughh, not a doppelgänger but an imposter, not cool…🤦♂️
I got my OG Twitter account (that I had for about 5 years with like 7k followers) banned for having bad actors impersonating me, trying to scam people, a few years back!!😡
Hey @pichi do you know any way to try to get an impersonation account possibly “dealt with”?🙏
This could be really bad for people who know & trust me, especially if this person is trying to scam with malicious links, which is most likely the case!!!😤
(Thank you for the heads up @jdferguson.base.eth)🤙

Confirmed scam.
The mini app is called “Pulse” and may show up in your comment replies.
Always be weary. Always ask questions publicly. Always be cautious.
The Farcaster protocol is OPEN which is awesome but that means mini apps can pop up quickly and scams can flourish unless we as the community talk about it and put it on peoples radar.

Hey there, @johnbankss is a scammer.
I like to entertain DCs like this, just to see what the scam is.
Be careful out there.

Just a reminder, DO NOT DOWNLOAD anything from someone you don't know!
The only exception is if you have an extra computer that doesn't have any hot wallets, personal info or financial details saved.
Social engineering and data harvesting malware are rampant in the crypto ecosystem.

Every $eggs minted on this account goes to Amaliee who claims to have no connection to this account 🤡

Now that the Base app is public it is VERY important that everyone is careful of scammers. If you think Twitter or Farcaster have rampant scams then you haven't seen anything yet.
- DO NOT download any software that someone you don't know asks you to download. If they want to video conference then you should provide the platform/link for the meeting, not them.
- DO NOT send anyone you don't know crypto or fiat and DO NOT put crypto or fiat into an investment site at the suggestion of someone you do not know.
- DO report scammers and spammers and warn others of any possible suspicious schemes going around.
- Mini apps are permissionless and while we have seen a few scam mini apps they have been minor so far. At some point scammers will utilize a mini app that causes some serious issues.
