Hey lovelies. There are many wonderful people out there, but there are also those that seek to scam us. Be wary of anyone that DMs you with phrases such as "Grand rising. I sensed energy from your photos and I think you need a reading." This is often a red flag. Stay safe. #WitchSky - ThreadSky

And I hope nobody who genuinely uses "Grand rising" is offended, but I've seen it used so many times by scammers and now it has me like:

wildurbanpriestess.bsky.social•99 days ago

I will do many free card pulls on here (as I did for years and years on X/Twitter) and I will never, ever ask for or take any form of payment.

If you ever receive a DM from someone who looks or sounds like me offering a reading... I can promise you that it isn't me!

wildurbanpriestess.bsky.social•99 days ago

And I'd just like to add that I'd love to see the scammer who is impersonating me come to my account to steal more of my content and then realise... they can't share this one 🤣

grailseeker.bsky.social•98 days ago

This gave me pause for thought. A more interactive posting style is harder to copy (but also harder work to maintain).

reginasritual.bsky.social•99 days ago

haven't gotten this here yet, but I make ritual robes and a lot of people spoof my customer's accounts, then DM selling "readings" I used to compliment their profile pic outfits (usually made by me LOL)

wildurbanpriestess.bsky.social•99 days ago

Haha - nice!

tarotrosetta.bsky.social•99 days ago

oh crap. these creeps are already here, too?

wildurbanpriestess.bsky.social•99 days ago

Yup. They're everywhere. Best we can do is make everyone as aware of them and their tactics as possible.

theswampwytch.bsky.social•99 days ago

I'm freely blocking folks here. If you don't have a filled out profile with posts or post replies.. you're more than likely going to meet an instant blocking.

wildurbanpriestess.bsky.social•99 days ago

Right. SO many accounts which are empty - no profile picture, no bio, no posts.

No thank you.

theswampwytch.bsky.social•99 days ago

Let's all watch out for one another and keep blue skies the place we want it to be! 💙

I’ve been block happy here since leaving X. If nothing else, X taught me to not be so quick to trust people, unfortunately.

I’ve always said if I block a good person to please let me know!

beatlzfan.bsky.social•99 days ago

I haven’t found any to block yet, but I have chosen not to follow back a few. I’m actively staying away from politics. The hate is real there, and I can’t handle it.

fierygoddess.bsky.social•99 days ago

Perhaps I’m just being paranoid and no one did anything wrong to get a block, it’s just I’m being super cautious, maybe over cautious.

beatlzfan.bsky.social•99 days ago

You have every right to be friend.

ladykeri.bsky.social•99 days ago

But I thought grand rising was the secret password to all of life's mysteries!

wildurbanpriestess.bsky.social•99 days ago

Me when I hear "Grand Rising"

ladykeri.bsky.social•99 days ago

I have to laugh because, honey, if your guides were speaking to you, why are you choosing me of all people??? They should have told you that I'm not easily fooled.

sleepingawake82.bsky.social•98 days ago

To my credit, I don't fall for those messages. As an excuse, I don't have enough money to toss to a stranger, just to get a "bogus" reading 🙄 I have my people, I'll reach out when I really need the help and guidance. "Know thyself". 😊

winterlady1.bsky.social•99 days ago

🤦‍♀️
Ugh… you’re right, but… ::sigh::
I wish such notices were not needed. ❤️

eriszan.bsky.social•99 days ago

Tiktok is the Worst with such scammers 🤦🏻‍♀️

wildurbanpriestess.bsky.social•99 days ago

This is why I have always steered clear of that place.

whitewolf67.bsky.social•99 days ago

Grand rising? I’ve only seen people dm me the other stuff

wildurbanpriestess.bsky.social•99 days ago

It's a phrase that is meant to sound like a spiritual version of good morning. My eye twitches every time I see it.

whitewolf67.bsky.social•99 days ago

Ohhh. Thanks. Didn’t know what it meant. It’d do the same to me honestly.

mooxieart.bsky.social•99 days ago

Definitely seen those before, but as an art business on IG I get even dumber ones like "I want to get a portrait of my son's pet"

furfeet.bsky.social•99 days ago

I really want to keep my feed healthy here. I’m not following any businesses that aren’t making other posts or comments contributing to conversations. I feel like a lot of us learned caution in the other places.
