There are certain similarities with scams aimed at artists, no detail, generic comments…
At some point they send you money, ask for some back, then reverse the first payment

@Nick_Stevens_graphics@mastodon.art Yep. Broadly, not a new scam. The fact that it's targeting users on my instance and their colleagues is the new twist for this wave; we've stayed small and cozy and avoid a lot of this stuff but since many here are carrying out their literary pursuits in public, this iteration of bots has now noticed us. Proprietor got crabby beans in the coffee this weekend, for sure.
