Discord Impersonator Warning — announcement copy & removal handoff

Prepared for the fewpips team. Announce that predatory/impersonator accounts are active, state the official policy (fewpips does not DM users first), then remove the impersonators.

Requested in the Fewpips Marketing group. Posting, pinning, kicking and the final screenshot require a Discord admin/mod — steps are ready to execute below.

1 · Announcement copy — full post

Post this in the main community / general channel. Copy-paste ready (Discord markdown & emoji supported).

⚠️ **Security Notice — Impersonators & Scam DMs** We've become aware of predatory/impersonator accounts pretending to be fewpips staff and sending direct messages to our community. **Official fewpips policy: we will NEVER DM you first.** • fewpips staff and admins do **not** send unsolicited direct messages. • We will **never** ask for your password, login/funding details, payment, or personal information over DM. • Any DM offering "verification", a giveaway, support, or a special deal that claims to be from fewpips is a **scam**. **What to do if you get one:** • Do not reply, do not click any links, do not send money or details. • Right-click the account → **Report**, then let us know in this server. • Trust **only** announcements posted here by our verified staff roles. Stay safe. 💙 — The fewpips team

2 · Short version — for pinning / #announcements

Tighter version to pin and to drop in the announcements channel.

⚠️ **fewpips will NEVER DM you first.** We do not send unsolicited DMs and never ask for payment, logins, or personal details. Impersonators are currently active — **ignore and report** any DM claiming to be fewpips. Official news comes only from our verified channels here. 💙

3 · Where to post & pin

Recommended placement (adjust to the actual server structure):

  • #announcements — post the short version and pin it. Best long-term visibility.
  • #general / main community chat — post the full version so active members see it in feed.
  • Any #support / #help channel — pin the short version (impersonators target users seeking help).
CONFIRM (channel names): the exact Discord channels weren't specified in the task. Confirm the target channels — default plan above assumes #announcements, #general, and a #support-type channel. Send the exact channel names (or "use the defaults") and I'll finalize.

4 · Removing the impersonators — mod procedure

Requires a Discord admin/mod with Manage Members permission — do this right after posting the warning.

  1. Open Server Settings → Members and sort by Join date (newest first).
  2. Search the member list for accounts using variations of the brand name / staff names: fewpips, few pips, few-pips, fewpips support, fewpips admin, fewpips team, and look-alikes of real staff handles (Nick, Veljko, Dj) and copies of official avatars.
  3. Watch for classic impersonation tells: no or fake staff role, 0–low messages, recently joined, avatar/name cloned from a real staff member, off-by-one character tricks (e.g. capital I for lowercase l, extra dot, zero for "o").
  4. Before removing: screenshot each impersonator's profile (username + user ID + avatar) for the record — this becomes the "removed accounts" list.
  5. Ban (not just kick) each confirmed impersonator so they can't rejoin, and delete their recent messages via the ban dialog.
  6. If any DM'd real members, note it so those members can be warned/blocked.

Tip: real fewpips staff should carry a distinct, colored staff role so members can always tell who's genuine — call this out if roles aren't clearly set up.

5 · Removed-accounts report — fill in while removing

Fill this table as you ban each account, then send it back with the announcement screenshot to close the task.

6 · What's needed to close the task

The runner has no Discord credentials for the fewpips server, so it cannot post, pin, enumerate members, kick/ban, or screenshot a live post. The copy above is final and ready; the two remaining items need a Discord admin (Veljko / Djordje):

  • Screenshot of the posted & pinned announcement.
  • List of accounts removed — the table in section 5, filled in.

Send both back and the CRM task is complete.
