I can guarantee you that this has already happened to Millennials and Gen Z here in the US. At least as far back as the earliest part of the 2000s.

Holy poop, the Absolute Universe is something else. Like, it’s not even trying to hide it implying “Yes, this is how bad things are in the real world.”

This is the best column I've read on the corruption.

We have to get loud in response.

"I'm asking because I accidentally clicked on a suspicious link that was sent to me via DM. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a phishing scheme that compromised my account. My account was then used to target other users. I believed you were the one who sent me the link since you had the same profile picture, name, and similar u/. After I managed to recover my account, I mistakenly reported your account for hacking and scamming me, as I couldn’t identify the actual username of the person responsible."

Then an hour later...

"I'm thinking that you got impersonated, do you happen to have discord so I can forward you a screenshot of the account and I also got an email from Reddit and I want to show it to you. I only have a screenshot of the account I couldn't find it anymore they must have changed it."
