Be aware of people out there on Bsky who are trying to scam you by "donating" you via Cashapp or PayPal.
NEVER accept it.
No matter how nice and genuine the person seems to be.

almost got scammed by one of these bastards impersonating a fellow artist friend of mine!
Just letting you guys know that scammers are already here and are trying to be creative
Report and block them!
Never give out your data, even if the person seems as sweet as candy in their “good-natured desire to support you.”
I called them out as iobvious scam, reported and blocekd instantly
Nobody ever offered me money although a lot asked for some 😀
I'm glad to see the scammers have shifted their sights to somewhere else, ngl
Clearly all they need is a username.
It's awful that this has started to happen but sadly not surprising, I hope we can handle it better through these lists and better communication w the community
Scammers have a breeze of ways to use even simple data to get you into trouble - in this case, financial trouble.
You should never accept any donations via PayPal/Cashapp, don't give ur data, especially your e-mail address connected to PayPal.
thanks for the info! need to be extra vigilant 😭😭
At the same time, thank you for sharing with it, so others can see that those scams are no joke!
Thanks for bringing it all up though because we shld protect each other.
Thanks for sharing!
