This is fraud.

These are bot accounts mixed in with occasional organic activity from whoever operates the account.

I dug much deeper, a lot of very similar behavior across the bot accounts.

https://stacker.news/niewolnik_BTC this account is using a freebie to post in this bio saying they can supply the sats, has an odd post history in itself. They post on a lot of the following accounts just saying Hi, and don't really have any activity elsewhere. Why are they offering sats randomly?

Here are other accounts they posted on:

https://stacker.news/Lauren (This account seems fresh. The person is real, but is the account?)

https://stacker.news/disabled1 (formally @Ayla - changed name)

https://stacker.news/mary_imasuen - real person but bot account. seems to really only talk about things they are trying to market.

https://stacker.news/rybka (real person, pretty sure.)

https://stacker.news/ToxicSaraTV (real person, activity seems consistently more organic)

It appears some of the regulars here have posted on some of these other accounts too. Considering the small demographic it is probably not impossible to get repeat offenders (y'all thirty and it shows) but the account offering 5000 sats with comment history almost exclusively tied to these accounts just seems more like its involved with bot activity rather than someone falling for a thirst trap.

@k00b @kr @ekzyis bot/fraud problem and pattern of behavior from accounts like this.

For the rest of you on SN I would be way more cautious about people identifying as female on the internet, you guys crack me up.

Yes, i can
