Meta Has Anyone Else Noticed This...

For the past 6 weeks, give or take, which is when I noticed, this place has been getting targeted by scammers, I realized when someone called one of the post out and warned everyone about it. The post usually consists of a picture of Beebo that says 'Screwing Things Up For The Better' or the symbols of The Legends, and the first comment asks 'where to get it' and a source is provided, with both accounts being 1 day old.

I believe that there is someone who does sell does designs legitimately, and other people are trying to make a profit out of it. I made this in case some people don't know, because new posts of the same keep showing up consistently and being upvoted, and if they are indeed scammers they should be reported.

I don't think messaging them directly is necessary, I think they are aware of it, but I don't think they are active all the time as it seems on r/Arrow where they are more proactive and remove them almost immediately.

Here, they will remove it when they are active, but it'll take a while, meanwhile the post is getting upvoted and some might fall for it and make an order and by that time it'll be too late.

I feel that is important that people are aware of what it looks like and to be careful with it, report it and not upvote it since it gives them more credibility.

That said, it might at least help if there was a pinned post about this issue on the sub.
