Looks like there’s a Mastodon identity verification scam going around.
Good rule of thumb: if a web site asks you to verify your identity, you close that browser tab.
The scam letter looks like this (thanks to @amministratore):
***
We detected suspicious activity on your account and have temporarily restricted access. Your new posts are currently visible only to you. To restore full access, please complete the verification process using the link below:
🔗 <shortened link removed but you can report UPDATENOTIFICATION.CLICK to https://globaldomaingroup.com/report-abuse for it to be taken down>
If you do not verify within 24 hours, your account may be deleted for guideline violations. Successful verification will grant you a badge to enhance your visibility.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
The Support Team

@aral@un_bourguignon @aral My view is that, despite the rise of certain wealthy individuals and opportunists to power, democracies accord a sacred status to the individual.

@aral Thanks for sharing it! 😊
It happened early this morning. I didn't realize we were the only instance affected. We removed the account within a few minutes, so maybe they got scared of looking too suspicious and didn't try the same trick elsewhere. 😄

@aral @amministratore
Using AI to create a sophisticated 'plausible', scam is quite disturbing. I wonder how many have fallen for it, and these are very likely people who care about privacy a lot. I wonder who's behind this particular scam anyway? I can imagine a few scenarios. -
