Browsing Bluesky, I stumbled upon a post from an artist warning people about a scammer stealing art for another artist.

I thought, “Why don't I investigate that scammer?"

So, I hopped on the scammer’s account and saw various art styles. I know artists love trying different art styles.

So, I ran a few of the scammer's images through my bot to detect whether they were stolen or original.

My bot detected that some art was stolen and some was human-made. The scammer had a follower I was also following. I warned her about it, and she said the following:

“Yeah, thanks for the warning. I appreciate your action.”

For some reason the follower I had was banned for no reason

Seeing a scammer banned quickly pleased me, so I started checking more scammers.
