talking about this again but here is this dipshit's discord messages with me after he pretended to be my friend's alt and scammed me by dropping a paypal link underneath a convo we were having about this friend NOT HAVING ANY FOOD. AND I WAS GOING TO USE PAYPAL TO GIVE THEM MONEY FOR FOOD.

I'm good "molinarts." bsky.app/profile/keir...

@maconfleetwood.bsky.social heads-up - if you sent any money to this paypal, you've been scammed by someone impersonating @phillipsevy.bsky.social

They've been spotted again, this time in impersonating a government account, using the handle @cpscgov.bsky.social. they've already deleted the account but just the same it led straight to their DMs

This guy molinarts scammed me in May, impersonating @metabosukiy.bsky.social . Please be careful everyone. Dont be like me lol

I was just informed that a serial scammer impersonated me via discord. Their discord name is "molinarts", and just searching it here shows other users making this same warning. That is not me. ALL MY COMM CONVERSATIONS ARE DONE VIA EMAIL ASAP AFTER INITIAL CONTACT I DO NOT DM ON DISCORD

@wolfertinger-666.bsky.social‬ is currently trying to impersonate ‪@w0lfertinger666.bsky.social‬ infact this scammer has impersonated him multiple times before. Scammer is also known as 'pypal' or molinarts. #SpotTheScammer

‪Just a warning @kanekokafesh0p.bsky.social‬ is a scammer impersonating @kanekokafeshop.bsky.social with that paypal link. Please DO NOT donate anything to that link this is a known scammer around here called "pypal" or "molinarts".

UPDATE: Molinarts aka 'pypal' scammer has made TWO new discord accounts and is now ACTIVELY changing his identities in his discord accounts each time he impersonates users!!! Please be aware impersonating innocent users. #SpotTheScammer #ArtScam

Very disgusting but there is someone impersonating me and trying to scam people out of their money. Please ALWAYS double check the UN and do NOT click any links from suspicious accounts, I ONLY use the invoice system on Ppal for auctions and I will NEVER try to guilt people into bidding.

The scammer got taken down but just to guard against future shenanigans, I barely use discord but it’s got my picture & name and not molinarts (or some variation of that)

I'm taking a break. Be safe y'all, don't just send money willy-nilly without making sure it's the genuine user and not scammer — PLEASE double check it's the real user before sending anything. 😮‍💨 PSA. Suspicious 'pypal' email addresses & discord links to chat with molinarts is 100% a scammer!

This link safety feature works automatically in the background to protect you from known threats while maintaining your privacy. There is no review of your messages unless you or another participant reports them. 4/4

Bluesky does not read or review your DMs. We gain limited access to messages only when they're reported by a participant in the conversation to conduct a moderation assessment. 3/4

When you receive a link that's been confirmed as malicious or unsafe, the app will either warn you when you click the link or block the URL entirely. This helps protect you against scams, CSAM, and compromised accounts. 2/4

We're launching a new safety feature to help protect you from malicious links shared in messages. This service will warn or block URLs to keep you safer on Bluesky. 1/4

I apparently have someone impersonating me on here so be careful if you receive anything from someone and always be sure to check their account before enagning with them!

I got scammed trying to commission cutasofa when someone named molinarts answered on the discord instead and scammed me for like 80 bucks. Then tried to use my account as a buffer for stealing other people’s money. If anyone else fell for this I am so sorry and no I do not have what you sent me.

As scammers are impersonating artists again, please keep in mind that the ONLY type of payment I currently accept is invoice (not a donation!) via Paypal.

Ay y'all there's someone impersonating me apparently. I would never ask you to send me money on the TL. I'd DM you. Paypal isn't even my go-to. Take note of the S they added to the end of their handle!

new loy khaemba, pretending to have a child with retinoblastoma and using some very graphic images which i won't repost here

I was just informed someone was scammed by someone pretending to be me here on a now deleted account and with a discord named molinarts My discord is the same username as everywhere and I DONT TAKE PAYMENT TILL IM FINISHED A PIECE !! IF SOMEONE IS ASKING FOR MONEY UP FRONT THAT ISNT ME

#SpotTheScammer @marckelias.bsky.social - Serial impostor, currently impersonating @marcelias.bsky.social with intent to fraud their followers. Has blocked me as an attempt to evade detection.

Hi all. It has come to my attention that someone has been impersonating me on Telegram. There is no @ on this account. It is not me. Do not interact.

@asianfisherman.bsky.social you should know there's an account impersonating you, I don't know what you plan to do about it, but I lose nothing by telling you when you lose nothing by knowing so why not.

Ahh, it happened - someone is impersonating me on Discord! I never do comms via Discord or Telegram, and my official handle will be present on my actual discord account. I DO NOT send unsolicited invoices, friends or family requests etc - always verify before any payment happens!

Hi! Please note, that an impersonator (@starlimsky.bsky.social) replied to your message! They are pretending to be @starlimisky.bsky.social with a similar looking profile, and are only after your money. Please do NOT contact "molinarts" for any reason. #SpotTheScammer

ik somethin felt off abt this, the bastard. keep doing the good work 🫡

Hey, this account is impersonating me, so if you see it, please report.

Hello! Sorry this is not an art post. Thank you to @skysleuth.bsky.social for letting me know that someone is impersonating me! I didn't expect to be happening to soon. The scammer already changed handles to a new one. I DO NOT HAVE A DISCORD SERVER. MAKE SURE TO READ/CHECK MY HANDLE CAREFULLY!

I was dm:d by the hacked account, whom is impersonating them on Discord as well. There is also another account which is impersonating @aaron.bsky.team using the name aaronlight3. I have this whole exchange screenshotted.

PSA TIME: don't click links from randos on the internet, especially when they're impersonating other people (check the slightly misspelled name on this) If you see this this isn't me, I am NOT going to send you random links, already sent a report so just stay aware!

@cosmic-nemesis.bsky.social Sorry but it looks like someone is impersonating you ♥

I've reported it, but they've already deleted the post and done a runner. In case it affects anyone else, the scam email address is: [email protected]

Hi @anipamn.bsky.social is a scammer who's impersonating @oniipamn.bsky.social to scam you. Formerly impersonating @selkiewife.bsky.social to scam @iiigotamigraine443.bsky.social. Please be wary, report & block the scammer. #SpotTheScammer

Heya hopefully nothing of monetary value has been exchanged but @c0ldarsenal.bsky.social is a scammer pretending to be @coldarsenal.bsky.social. If you search 'molinarts' here in BSky, you'll see other cases this been done before. #SpotTheScammer
