The REAL Buster Benson Followed Me And Here’s What Happened

I believe Medium writers are some of the most honest/kind people out there

I’m talking about the genuine one. And you need to becareful in the digital world as bad things do happen to good people, if you are not careful enough.

This is what happened

Image of my notification

I was really finishing up my new pub post, well the editing part.

Although I do not know or follow his work, I do know who he is from other writers and due to the recent events on Medium.

What happened was I received a clone account that tried to get me to go on WhatsApp, yes of course I have it’s fake, but how many of the newly joined writers know that or are even aware of such a thing?

Idk, but I got to share it again for fake/clone accounts since their intention is obviously a bad one.

If spammer comes again, I’ll keep writing about it as that is the only way we can protect the writer that we can spread awareness to.

I feel this one is indeed needed. And even Buster himself came and reply on a 3 AM EST.

And yes this is a real follow.

Guess who else was recently followed?

My man Leonard Tillerman, when tagging Leonard, I think I just found his clone.

You can try typing @Leonard Tillerman and see the clone show up there. (they are already starting to dodge the profile image scanning if that is what medium is working on)

See the image below:

I screenshotted it but could not find it on my PC, had to use my phone to take a photo of the screen this way

Oh Wait

Le’st look for Buster’s clone again

Did you see him?

Do you also see a little trick in alphabetical order, the clone chose a letter that is after the real @, which does hide them if you do not type of the full name of the Real One. (think about it)

I think this is a good way to check if you have a clone/fake account. (go report them)

Based on the comment from the Real Buster, Medium is trying to reduce these and for those that felt bad for the writers that were gone due to this and some that just got back, still give some hope to the Medium team.

Promoting the event and my new pub one last time.

Thanks for Reading And it’s Pub Crawl Week.
