Humor and Celebration
Breaking News: My Clone Kicked the Bucket, and I’m Gleefully Celebrating It🎉
An update on the mischievous scammer who decided to play copycat with my online identity and nearly led my lovely readers down the treacherous path of phishing
Imagine an imposter sets up shop pretending to be me, trying to lure you all into the wild world of WhatsApp with messages that are anything but mine! My poor readers almost got bamboozled by this shenanigan.
But fear not, dear readers, writers, and editor friends!
After a whirlwind of worry and a dash of humor-filled storytelling from yours truly, I received a flood of messages cheering on the demise of my digital doppelgänger. Ah, the virtual drama!
I must admit, I cracked a joke about them resting in peace. Let’s face it, creating fake accounts takes effort — albeit robotic — and I’ve got a soft spot for even the most mischievous of bots. But jokes aside, this is a serious issue, and I’m here to spread awareness.
In the ongoing saga, a huge shoutout to the superheroes at Medium who swooped in swiftly, capes and all, to eradicate this pesky nuisance from our beloved platform. I appreciate the support of the Trust team which protects us from these fake accounts.
Now, a question for the cyber warriors among us: is there a way to report these sneaky WhatsApp accounts and lower their cyber rampage? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
Big thanks to all of you — my readers, fellow writers, and editor pals — for standing by me during this rollercoaster of a day.
I might’ve felt like a celeb (albeit reluctantly), but let’s be real, I’d rather keep my sanity intact than chase fame. Normal life, here I come! Because let’s face it, being famous sounds fun until you realize you have to smile for the paparazzi 24/7. Phew! My mental health is my red carpet to happiness.
Apart from celebration, the key takeaway of this short story is to report such accounts immediately to lower risks on this platform. When you click on the three dots of the profile, you will see this window to click on Report this author.
Here is my funny yet concerning story earlier if you missed the drama.
