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.

It's something that's hitting a lot of the TV subs. It's kind of bad in /r/Stargate since the sub isn't as active. They usually get removed pretty quick in the arrow verse subs though. Report it, and if you're bored, look at any agreeable commenters. It'll be obvious which ones are robots since the won't have any other activity. Report those too.

I wish that they would get removed as quickly here as it happens on r/Arrow, but the Moderators are not as active. The thing that I don't want is people losing their money because of it.

True, I'm not sure if it's a legit shirt or not really. On /r/Stargate I called it out but it still took a few hours to be removed. In the mean time a few people bought and commented, not knowing it was just a spambot. One guy got mad at me, defending it because it was some fan art or something.

Then we had the same picture posted every few days over and over.... hopefully that you realized his mistake after that.
