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.

I'm sorry you're dealing with that Chris. It's an inevitability in many ways. The problem is that people aren't associating the only thing blockchains are good at (verifying provenance) with the value of a given product. It's a testament to how young and ignorant the market is. Over time this will improve, for now...

...all you can do is explicitly dissassociate yourself from those projects and promote the projects you are actually involved with as canon. Eventually those shit projects will be valueless and the mobs will point their anger at the real perpetrators. It's annoying to have to repeat yourself, but for now loudly do so

This isn't a "imitation is flattery" thing. This is a coordinated scam attack against me from people knowing full well what they're doing

I don't know if you misunderstood me or something. I'm not saying it was imitation or flattery. I'm aware it's all scams. My point was the people buying are ignorant and that the scams are almost impossible to stop since everything is onchain and pseudonymous. It's like so much of crime. You can't police it away...

I mostly agree with you there, but there are ways to report these fake accounts, and it's the help I'm trying to ask for here. The more aware people are the better it will get. Thank you for the tip to verify my ens, I just did so. Trying to work this out

Sure. If there are accounts you can link to that you'd like us to report here, twitter, opensea etc, I'd be happy to. For whatever it's worth.

There are a lot of fake accounts right now. Some of the biggest offenders currently are @drguys here, https://twitter.com/NyanCat_Base_ , then there's several telegram groups. I've already sent reports to several of them. Problem is they pop right back up with new accounts almost immediately so it's a loop of work
