@selea @cliffwade it's an account trying to trick you into clicking the shortened url in the profile, that leads to advertisement. I suspended it.

@selea @cliffwade Yep, and it's not the first scam account to hit the platform, another recent one that's phishing for people to join questionable "Job opportunities" (and sadly many falling for it) is this:https://mstdn.io/@EmmaKelley@mastodon.cloudand its clonehttps://mstdn.io/@emmakelley@mas.toI have a feeling the Fediverse has a rising spam/scam problem that's not being handled.

@neglesaks @selea The account I reported was immediately suspended so at least that one has been handled.

@neglesaks What do you mean with "that's not being handled"?Posts and accounts like this are purged in a much higher rate compared to bird-site and zukbook.

@selea My bad - i meant its a rising problem that I'm not sure the fediverse has a readymade solution to handling.The visible spamscam accounts have increased significantly in number recently and it sure as hell ain't stopping anytime soon.

@selea @cliffwade I got a star on a Noot! this morning by it (which apparently is gone by now) and I had no idea what I should make of this bot.Do you have more info which may be useful for ~users~ Nooters?

@selea @cliffwade this same account kept going through and favoriting my toots over and over. Finally just blocked it out right. Is the instance malicious?

@selea oh wait is that a legit scam? I'm so used to things like brands.town that I assumed it was a joke
