   Please report any account that tells you that you need to verify your #Mastodon account to continue using it through a private message. It is a scam. We do not require identity verification. Real staff accounts either have a special role badge on their profile or are verified through the joinmastodon.org domain and will typically never reach out through private messages.

     @LoneLocust The report function is one of the options on every post and profile.

     @Gargron i couldn’t. Got a notification email, but no @ reply or mention to my account was visible (probably already moderated or such).

     Timely warning. Just received one (and reported it immediately).
     Suggestion: maybe we need a "Phishing" category in the reporting process. And a "Spam" while we're at it.

     @Gargron I tried to report such an account (@mastodonbot1) and as a result I got an error message from you ("404 Record not found"). So why report and waiste time?

     @marvinoppong It means it's already been suspended.

     @Gargron Seems to me confusing - "404" - if at the same time the - suspended - account is still been displayed. Communicating that would be clearer.

     @Gargron

     so if they posted like 20 messages with the same message should I select all or just like 2 and then report?

     For me I think that selecting just 2 which look alike would be more practical.

     Does Mastodon have like any "best practice" when dealing with scammers?

     Also if Anna123666 hasn't been suspended yet(haven't checked) please help.
