As much as I try to help us out on social media, it’s nothing compared to what providers can pull off. I recently learned that for all the shit talking and subliminals they throw at each other, if they share a common goal, they’re going to hit it—hard. I saw it firsthand when they took down not one, but two X pages in what I’m pretty sure was a single day. To me, that’s pretty monstrous.With the Scam Pages, I do what I can when I can. I figured more members would pitch in, but it’s not unusual for some not to. Regardless, the Scam Pages were designed to keep us safe from the endless amount of bullshit we run into every day. We post what we know, and if it helps someone, great—that’s all it is.
Recently, I was looking into two X profiles: @alina_breit and @BreitAlina. Notice how I said was—because they’re both gone now. Anyone with eyes could see those pages were fake as hell, but I don’t post unless I have proof. The last thing I want is to be wrong and accidentally hurt a provider’s career—or cause us to miss out on seeing them. A legit provider, though? They can spot the bullshit instantly and act on it without hesitation.
High-end provider Carmen Starr spotted both profiles as fake and went to work. She posted about how scammers are gaming platform algorithms—confusing them into thinking fake accounts are real providers. The constant rinse-and-repeat from these scammers isn’t just an annoyance; it’s messing with providers’ visibility and credibility. Carmen used these two accounts as examples, and within hours, both were taken down. That kind of result only happens when providers mass-report.
The way they banded together for this was impressive. Sure, a lot of them will go back to their corners, gossiping behind each other’s backs, but when there’s a shared mission they can only accomplish together, all that petty drama gets tossed aside.
It’s a reminder of how powerful providers can be when they decide to be—and that’s both impressive and a little scary. It makes them unpredictable, and that’s worth keeping in mind. Of course, we can be just as unpredictable and goal-oriented… it just seems to take us a little longer to get there.
The takedown of those two scam accounts wasn’t just a win for providers—it was a win for all of us. It showed that when the right people put their energy in the same direction, results can happen fast. Maybe we could take a page from their playbook and start acting with that same urgency. After all, the scammer problem isn’t going away, and neither are we. The question is, do we want to keep reacting… or start winning like they do?
