@waldoj Always remember to report said accounts!

I'll gladly add those #scammers to the #bot #blocklist I maintain:

Metalhead.clubKit-T :damnified: (@Kitty@metalhead.club)Looks like the "Verify your fedi account" scam is gaining pace, & evolving to look more real. Your server admin will not ask you to click a link to verify your account. And no other admin from any other server will either, even if they do look like they could be part of the main Mastodon team. It's a scam. Please report any post or DM that urges you to click any link to verify your account. If you've any doubts about your account, now or on any other day, contact your server admin or mod team. @thomas @SunDancer

That's a first - I just had a *very* short conversation with an AI that 'phoned me with a home insulation scam.

Claimed to be "Jane" from the Green Eco Centre but was clearly an AI due to the staccato nature of "her" voice.

Also, as soon as I asked it for their registered company number it couldn't answer ... and simply went back to the start of its script.

Do you think it will use the words "F*** off you AI scammer" in its next training set?

Number to block is 0203 3428972 and has a long history of running this scam:

Got spam emails this morning by someone who opened an issue on GitHub with what was probably a very unsafe link and then just tagged dozens of users over and over and over. Why we needed 50 copies in a row of the same notification, IDK. Thankfully, the account is terminated already, but if this starts to be a regular thing, I might have to abandon GitHub altogether.

Does anyone know of a reliable reverse image search site equal to Google or better?

I'm going to tell you exactly what my use-case scenario is:

I use reverse search to catch scammers on dating platforms. See scammers often steal the pictures they put in their profile from various websites.

Sometimes those pictures are pornographic in nature. I've recently noticed that Google no longer allow reverse searching for porn. Actually, it also rejects pictures of people clad in swimsuits.

I don't know of any setting I can change. Every week, I got scammers tossed off platforms using this method. However, I can no longer do this, due to Google's ongoing enshittification efforts.

(ETA: TinEye is not good enough. I tried again just now. I got a pornographic image from a public website, fed it to TinEye and got no matches. 😕 )
