They tried to scam Mastodon's creator on Mastodon...

Screenshot of a thread. In the first post, someone posts a strangely-formatted scam reply to Eugen, saying that there is a "minor irregularity" with Eugen's account, and that Eugen must verify to restore full visibility.  Subsequent posts call the scammer out.  The scammer replies with "sorry bro have a good day".

    They can't ban him. He is the main developer.
