SPAM!

Every few months, I have to have the "SPAM" talk with you guys. 🥰

Skool is focused this year on identifying and deleting spammers, but they are a fact of life. Especially in a free community. As this community grows, it becomes a bigger target for spammers.

How do you identify a spammer?

Obvious signs:

They will create a post offering to build you a web site or give free business advice.
They will send you a chat with the same offering.

If you see a post like this, hit the 3 dots in the upper right of the post and report it. If you get a private chat that is not related to beading, send me a chat to let me know who the offending party is.

More subtle approaches:

3. They will create a post that wrenches at your heartstrings. "Once, when I was a little girl,....

4. They will respond to your posts/comments with "Hello, how are you?"

Please, do NOT like or respond to these types of posts. They are trying to get enough likes to get them to level 3 so that they can then send personal chats.

Again, report this type of activity. Let me decide if they are on the level or not.

We recently had someone responding to posts/comments with AI generated content that looked like it was sincere and valid. after the second post it became obvious it wasn't. Another guy recently posted a picture of a simple bracelet he downloaded from Pinterest and tried to pass it off as his.

To the spammers lurking in the group: I have my eye on you!
