Please report any account that claims that you need to verify your #Mastodon account to continue using it. It is a scam. Don't click the links. Real staff accounts either have a special role badge on their profile or are verified through the joinmastodon.org domain.
@staff I didn’t realize that reporting these posts would help. Done.

It would also would be good to additionally report the phishing URL itself on https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report-url (I'm not big fan of Google, but that safe browsing list is used by different browsers, Firefox included, and may help if people do click on those links) #safebrowsing
