Started to collect art #scammers on #Twitter in a list a while back in order to spot them easier.
I used to bother reporting them but eventually gave up since they rarely if ever get banned. Checking the list its up to 184. Unfortunately I can't share the list in an easy way, as the site lacks exporting tools and making a private list public, the users will immediately block, removing them.
Since joining mastodon last year I've only come across one scammer here.

I've reported so many scam bot accounts on Twitter to no effect at all that I eventually gave up.
One strange phenomena are "art scammers" who promote themselves as artists but they use stolen art or free logo generators as references. They trick people to pay upfront for commissions which they never deliver on.
It's really damaging for legit artists who are trying to make a living that those are allowed to remain and nothing is done.
