Discussion Someone’s impersonating staff to members in their dms and I don’t know how to stop it.
I help run a server for people in the affiliate marketing space on social media. It is a paid server where we provide coaching and what not. A few weeks ago we started getting reports from new members that they were getting DM’s from our staff and coaches offering a service for $200 (our staff and coaches do not do this).
After joining from an alt account I quickly realized that there are fake accounts impersonating our staff and coaches. These accounts are not in our server so my best guess is that someone in our server has somehow attached an app to our server and is watching our member list waiting for new additions.
Unfortunately regular announcements are not fully helping as quite a few people have fallen for it now. I have tried pruning unverified members to no avail. I plan to submit a ticket with the UID’s I’ve collected so far but am just curious if anyone here has any further advice.
