Fan Message Phishing Check
Fans are frequent phishing targets when scammers impersonate creators in direct messages. This workflow helps you validate message origin and shut down fraud quickly.
What You Can Confirm
- • Identify phishing attempts linked to lookalike creator accounts.
- • Separate routine spam from high-risk impersonation campaigns.
- • Build actionable evidence for platform reporting.
Common Risk Signals
- • DM requests urgent payments, codes, or wallet actions.
- • Message style does not match your normal communication tone.
- • Profile linking pattern conflicts with your official channels.
Evidence to Save
- • DM screenshots with visible sender handle and timestamp.
- • Destination links and checkout pages referenced in messages.
- • Archive of official messaging policy for comparison.
Response Workflow
- Collect phishing reports from fans into one incident queue.
- Verify sender handle and linked profiles against official assets.
- Preserve message evidence before deleting or blocking.
- Report account impersonation and phishing behavior immediately.
