Hey.
Kindly reminder.
Content creators are not your friends just because you like their work. You do not know who we are.
This goes double for anyone under 18; be very careful about interacting with adults.
If any adult makes you feel uncomfortable, DO NOT ENGAGE THEM. RUN.

As a longtime fake acct researcher:
I can't emphasize how common this has been on Twitter--for yrs (about a decade on my 1st-hand knowledge of it).
Fake accts run by foreign entities is incredibly common.
Tbf, fake accts run by domestic entities is also common.
Anyone can be duped. Be wary.
