It feels like it's gotten worse the last few months. I never got any before this year, and then I've gotten probably at least half a dozen, if not more. It's easy enough to ignore, but when you see that little PM notification, you get excited, until you find out it's another bot.
5810071 I've received this rubbish before, but never three all at once. Maybe they're getting desperate...
5810072 I can block them for sure, but what's the point when they just make new accounts? Something tells me that reporting wouldn't do much good either...
5810077 Keep it up... one day it might actually work.
5810078 Again, like vermin they just multiply but appreciate the positivity!
5810214 If the person who came up with the definition of insanity didn't do so when they did, these scammers would've brought it on themselves when we describe them with the word and invent it ourselves.
Too much is too much, and these scammers need to kindly piss off.
I've found one sure fire way to weed out the fake from the real artists. Ask them for a favorite scene from one of your stories. It doesn't need to be super detailed, but if they can name a genuine one, then they're real.
Heard about this from some others, though yet to get one myself. But three back-to-back within an hour?
Oh my.
I've been getting those too. Block and report.
I report these bastards on a near-daily basis.
Wow that's so not cool hopefully these guys would be reported for this and get them banned
That is messed up!
I only get them on DeviantArt, where I've actually posted some things.
I've gotten these both on discord and twitter. 'Tis a bit annoying, to be honest
Yeah, seen those here a few times myself. And in DA.

Yes... and super-irritating.

I used to go on that site a lot, but IMHO they ruined it, for reasons that are too much to go into here.
5810093
No-one call it X. LOL.

Hi again! How's the job going? I believe you can honestly be referred to as a 'site veteran' by this point.

DEfinitely. Raising my hopes for nothing. UNFORGIVABLE.

It's an endless game of whack-a-mole, I will admit.
Oh God, I've seen them all over FanFiction too. This is getting ridiculous!!
5810295
I still don't know what their game is. Money? Fame? Attention? At least I just gave them the latter...
Fanfiction is riddled with them too. Ignore them.
A bunch of them flocked to me after a new story I published was featured...

No need. I can already tell. Into the bin they go. 11-32.
