Hi @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app

There are at least 2 imposter accounts pretending to be me.

Almost 50 real people have reached out and alerted me + blocked and reported since Sunday.

It’s now Wednesday and these accounts are still active 🥴

What’s going on?!

The top one is me.

The other two are imposter accounts. Please unfollow them, block and report.

They have been messaging people with a crypto scam. Ugh! 😣 I am sorry if you have received a weird message from someone you thought was me 🫠

I’d only message you about geochemistry 😂

Hi everyone 😀

My account has been cloned (not hacked) & there are 2 or 3 imposter accounts, with my profile pic, bio etc, just slight misspellings of my name: robynn and pickerling

Please unfollow, block & report them!

I’m definitely NOT switching from geochem to crypto in 2025! 😆

So I’ve been hacked 🫠😣

Three accounts impersonating me.

Please block and report.

Interestingly I spent this morning blocking not followers…

Ugh 😤

Super fun evening at the #UCT awards ceremony last night!!

I’m relieved, grateful and excited to (finally!) be promoted to Associate Professor 🥳

First year #geology field trip - teaching basic rock identification and field skills.

Beautiful spring weather and west coast wild flowers 💙

It’s fun and rewarding to see students putting their geological theory into practice!
