Be careful who you send sats to as there appear to be some fake accounts harvesting zaps from GM notes. If in doubt, check the account as they all share similar characteristics:
- they generally only engage with GM notes, replying with the same reply each time
- they don't post new notes themselves, just repost others to make them look more legitimate
- they have a small number of followers
- they have a generic name and simple one line bio (if at all)
- nostr.band shows that they have received sats but not sent any (or a very small amount)
- nostr.band shows many of them first became active around the same time, usually within the last couple of months
The replies to this post are all GM fake accounts starting from the second reply.
A batch of GM fake related spam accounts appeared. They forwarded the same things. These GM fake accounts hope to get sats through GM. He found Nostr's Bitcoin mining method. But it is too easy to identify.
Spammers forget that the foundation of #Nostr 's social network is trust.
