  • Someone is impersonating me on telegram and trying to scam my subscribers for money. I thought I'd message them and let them know what's up.

      Spam knows no bounds except a ban hammer, seemingly. Even the Favilla Guitars group on Facebook was getting "Favilla Guitar Shirt" Spam when they didn't even have 250 members.
      I still think it could be a painful embarrassment to buy one of those trashy shirts even if you used it as an oil rag. I once went to the review page for the company that sells them, and literally every review out of nearly 70 reviews was a 1 star out of 5 review. The lettering falls off after only 1 wash, there's no customer support, and they're overpriced.

    But how can people still fall for this in 2024? I thought that when official channels have a checkmark on social media and usually report about competitions there or on the official video, you can already understand that such simple messages about Telegram will not work. They can simply check the channel's name and web adress.
    But I still wish you never come across scammers again.
