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

As much as possible, create highly verifiable onchain locations for your information. A /mirror blog perhaps, links to your project websites on your /ens record. Verify your ENS on Farcaster so people know which account is the real you. These are just a few ideas. tl;dr use blockhchain's strengths to your advantage
