I try not be bothered by things but this has been a really rough week for me.  Dozens of scam accounts have been right click saving my art and selling fake coins/nfts. They've already made $100k+ off these scams. Then, people who are scammed come to me for help/complaints/harassment, when I have nothing to do with it.

The biggest problem here is when one account gets taken down they come immediately back with many more scam accounts.  Please help me get the word out.  I am DROWNING in DMs of people complaining about these scammers.  I am only one person out here and can only do so much

Oh I agree with you entirely and thank you.  My message was mostly to warn people I care about to be aware since my inbox was flooded and people were falling for it. Just really sucked to see. I’m glad people are aware now. And of course the scammers all rugged. Shame on them

While it kinda sucks to leave people out in the cold, you literally owe these folks nothing while they're blatantly insulting you by purchasing fakies and asking for your help.

Tons of artists have to make healthy boundaries around engaging with those who can't be bothered to verify provenance. You're not the first.
