#Scam #Alert: There's another wave of "Registration/Verification" scams going on right now. I've suspended several today.
Mastodon admins will *never* message you to go click links or other shit like that to fix/save/unblock/verify/etc your account.
Any account with variations on "helper", "notification", "verification", and so on in their name are almost certainly a scam.
Report them.

@alice@lgbtqia.space I'm always a bit surprised when something like that works (supposedly about 3% of the time). But shocked to have it work here.
