When they #pretend to be #more, than they are.

“If you can meet with #Triumph and #Disaster and treat those two #Impostors just the same.” - Rudyard Kipling

You can always suss out an insignificant type -- particularly in media -- by (a) observing the completely trivial hills they choose to die on (often a "cause" that takes little courage or risk to speak out on) and (b) their relentless and often hilarious insistence that their work is far more important than it actually is (see critics).

Maybe less people fell for George Santos, if they just treated him as a lying (bad) entertainer & not as a "politician", which he's unfit to work as.

⭐Santos fooled potential donors, claiming he was a Broadway Musical Producer.⭐

You. Can't. Make. Such. Sh*t. Up!

@Richard_Littler 😂 🤣 We are back in the 1700s where impostors, palm readers, alchemists, fortune tellers, and all sorts of charlatans abound everywhere thanks to social media. #LinkedIn #Impostors

Aww... Sorry to hear that. 🙁

Today on Mastodon I saw a series of toots from an account using a very official-looking #Microsoft #Office logo as the profile photo, each toot having a link to dodgy domain names that have the word #office. I reported it. But whether the admins do anything about it, I don't know.

Hopefully people here on Mastodon are sharp enough to not click on such links.

Speaking of #impostors, there's an Instagram account claiming to be Carolina Game Tables. It's fake, do not give them money.
