A few minutes ago I was on Bluesky and saw that I had supposedly reposted something by “Lurline Jones”. I had done no such thing.
Went to look at the OP and saw that “Lurline” was following me, and I was apparently following them.
Again, I did not. I never would, I’m very careful about who I follow.
The original post in the screenshot above contains a link to what may or may not be an official Trump website. I strongly urge everyone to NOT click on it. I did, and really wish I hadn’t.

I removed the repost, unfollowed the account that I never actually did follow, and reported it for scam/fraudulent activity to Bluesky moderation. Then I blocked it.
If you have a Bluesky account I strongly recommend you go there right now. If this has not appeared as a repost on your account, go to “Lurline Jones”, report the account, and block them.
EDIT in the few minutes since I posted this, it happened again.
