Multiple incidents of online impersonation and scams have been reported across social media platforms, with individuals warning about fake accounts using their names and images to deceive users. Victims are urged not to engage with suspicious messages or click on links shared by these accounts. The real nobody.eth account issued an on-chain message and an ENS update stating, "I don't have any social networks now! @nobody_vault on X is a fake!" There has also been a rise in fraudulent activity involving the sale of fake event tickets on social media. Cybercriminals are exploiting high demand for concerts and other events by using hacked or fake profiles to offer counterfeit tickets. After receiving payment, these scammers often disappear or provide tickets that are invalid or already used. Authorities, including the Cyber Police Unit of Mexico City, recommend purchasing tickets only through official or authorized channels, verifying seller identities, and avoiding direct payments to unknown individuals. Contact for reporting includes [email protected] and 5242 5100 ext. 5086. Separately, in Turkey, counterfeit tokens for car wash stations and arcade machines are being openly sold online in packs of 100 to 500. These fake tokens, made from inexpensive metals and sold for 6-7 TL per use instead of the legitimate 45-60 TL, are reportedly accepted by machines. One user noted, "Petrolde jeton 50 TL, buradan alıyorum 7 TL’ye arabamı yıkatıyorum." Experts recommend updating machine security systems to address this issue.
