Please report scammers to BlueSky for removal, by clicking the . . . (three dots) below a post by the scammer, and selecting "Report". It works! I reported a scammer who stole a photo of Ukrainian soldier Alina Mykhailova & put a fake name on it. A week later, this happened: bsky.app/profile/haly...

It was suspended because I sent BlueSky proof: 1. A link to a website showing Alina Myhailova's photo that was copied by the scammer, and 2. The DM where the scammer asked me for a donation. Teach yourself how to do a "reverse image search" on google so you can verify any soldier's photo.
