Verification Badge Scam Check
Scam actors impersonate platform staff and sell fake verification pathways to creators. This workflow helps you confirm legitimacy before any payment or account action.
What You Can Confirm
- • Verify whether badge offers come from real platform channels.
- • Prevent losses from fake verification fees and phishing portals.
- • Train team members on official verification requirements.
Common Risk Signals
- • Offer requests payment via private message or wallet transfer.
- • Sender uses unofficial domain or generic support account.
- • Verification promise bypasses normal platform process.
Evidence to Save
- • Message screenshots, sender profile, and payment instructions.
- • Domain and form screenshots for fake verification portals.
- • Official platform verification policy references.
Response Workflow
- Compare all verification outreach against platform policy docs.
- Reject any process requiring private payment channels.
- Capture every scam artifact before blocking the sender.
- Report impersonation and fraud to platform trust teams.
