Comment on Protect Your Contact Information From Scammers

    Unfortunately for me, all of the ones I've gotten on FFN are direct PMs. Luckily the scammers are pretty obvious but reporting them is kind of annoying because you still have go through the email form.

      An ink drawing of a black cat sitting with its tail curving off to the right, with a paw print background behind it.

      Oh, I'm with ya there! -_-;

      My above comment rly was just pertaining to comments/reviews on stories. But for the PMs on FFN (which has its pros and, in this case, clear cons 🥲), I can offer one suggestion, esp if you end up with a lot at once, as I've done this in the past—

      Send *one* email to FFN's support email, with a subject line along the lines of "Reporting multiple scambot accounts." And then just list both the usernames and associated user IDs, in list format. 👍 Since there isn't rly an email form over there, just emails for folks to use (as well as specific topic tags to include in the subject lines), this might be easier for you, that way you don't hafta send so many emails. IME, one of the Zacks gets to it fairly quickly.

      Sending some good vibes your way, fellow FFN user! :'3

        That's actually what I did the last time haha :)

        But hopefully this will be helpful to other people who use both sites!
