I assume this is a scam. i was going to report it, but i don't even know what they're saying. so i blocked it.

@WorldTravelerAll7 @FediTips When in doubt, report. As an admin myself I'd rather get a report made in good faith that turned out to be a false alarm rather than find out that an account on my system was bothering or scamming other users but no one reported it.

really? was it in fact a scam? i didn't understand the abbreviations or what it meant, so i wasn't sure. was hoping one of the more tech savvy people would know & report it

i'll keep that in mind next time💙
