Unfortunately from what I understand there is no quick fix to this issue at the moment.

And keep this one as a place holder which points to your 'verified' account, with a disclaimer that it is your only account.

To make good use of space, you can also make a few informative posts on what to watch-out for with these types of scammers.

But that will free @arpitrage.bsky.social for someone else to use, because usernames are only unique when including the domain they're linked to.

So it may be better to open a new account with a handle (can be the same) that links to your website.

You can link your handle to your website (instead of bsky.social) - which is BlueSky's way of 'verification'

It's a known problem and unfortunately it's one of the challenges of decentralised community orientated social networks.

There are a few things you can do though.
Bluesky has an impersonator problem
Cryptoscammers tried to trick me using fake profiles of tech personalities. I am not alone.

Should I tie it to a pigeon or send it by bicycle courier?
