RE: mastodon.uno/@amministratore/1…

Looks like there’s a Mastodon identity verification scam going around.

Good rule of thumb: if a web site asks you to verify your identity, you close that browser tab.

The scam letter looks like this (thanks to @amministratore):

***

We detected suspicious activity on your account and have temporarily restricted access. Your new posts are currently visible only to you. To restore full access, please complete the verification process using the link below:

🔗 ‪<shortened link removed but you can report UPDATENOTIFICATION.CLICK to globaldomaingroup.com/report-a… for it to be taken down>

If you do not verify within 24 hours, your account may be deleted for guideline violations. Successful verification will grant you a badge to enhance your visibility.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

The Support Team
