There is no monetization scheme on mastodon.social, nor any other fedi instance I know of.

@rysiek
I already reported/blocked mine the very minute it came in.

On my home instance this got blocked within seconds, I barely had time to take the screenshot.

Chapeau-bas, @stux!

Your instance might be a bit slower with moderation, and that's fine (hugs for all the admins and mods on here!).

You can help keep everyone safe by reporting scams as soon as you see it.

You can help keep yourself safe by blocking scam accounts.

This is not Facebook, your report will be seen by a human, and will not be ignored.

And if not, you might consider moving instances.

@rysiek @stux I must have reported five or six yesterday, and did ensure that all the other federated servers were notified as well.

@rysiek I started noticing this since yesterday. I think this is the 4th-6th time I reported it.

Anyone asking for money via social media is 99.99% certainly a scammer.

Don't feel guilted into giving money to total strangers through a wire. Donating to your local wino on the corner would likely do more for society.
