The influx of fake social media pages continues to rise. I’ve been trying to write about them one post at a time to keep our community aware, but it’s impossible to keep up. No matter how many posts I make, another scam account pops up before I’m even done writing. It’s a never-ending cycle, and keeping track of them all takes up too much time.
So, I figured a better solution would be to create an ongoing thread dedicated to tracking and updating scam accounts in real time.
When posting about a suspected scam account, please include the following details:
i.e
Fake: @Sophiedee272Dee
Real: @SophieDee
Pretty obvious how fake this is. If Sophie Dee provided, it wouldn't be like this.
If this effort gains traction, I’ll start separating pages so that each potential scam hotspot gets its own thread. X isn’t the only place where scammers thrive—platforms like Instagram, Eros, TrystLink, and similar sites are also prime targets. The only way we can fight back is by spreading awareness.
This post will be pinned to the top of the Possible Scams section, so it’ll always be easy to find.

When posting about a suspected scam account, please include the following details:
- Username of the fake account
- Real username the account is impersonating
- A screenshot of the fake account
- How you identified it as a scam (e.g., reverse image search, confirmation from the real provider, inconsistencies in posts, etc.)
