Imposter accounts - Heads up!

General
Hello fuzzbuts~
I just wanted to let ya know that the ONLY socials and galleries I use online are listed on my FA profile. I've been keeping a eye on things over the years and I've noticed a few fake accounts pop up. Some seem to have died, but the following are still active:
NONE OF THESE ACCOUNTS ARE ME
https://www.instagram.com/berymuch/
https://mubi.com/users/474500
https://thestand.news/u/Berymuch
https://mydrop.ru/u/Berymuch
https://pholder.com/u/berymuch/
https://e621.net/posts?tags=berymuch <--- not really an account, but I never uploaded these and have no idea who did XD
I think the top two are just a weird coincidence with some eurobro, and we happened to settle on the same handle around the same time- he seems to post his own stuff. The bottom two are definitely not though, and I suspect they're the result of bots skimming my galleries and just uploading things blindly. There's a couple others on social networks based in the Phillipines/China (another bot account reposting my art) but I can't find them atm.
If you're ever unsure I am who I say I am on any platform, please ask me to note you on FA or via twitter (and pay attention to the username- special characters can make it sneaky). It's important I get this out because I'll be doing commission work soon and I don't want people to get ripped off by these bot accounts who may look to capitalize on the content. Be aware, and let me know if you find more! <3

More on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/BerymuchCheck out these other artists while you're at it. I'm always looking for new inspiration- please feel free to share anyone I might not know and I'll happily add them to the roster :3:
Do better. Have people post more of your works there.
Appreciate the heads up though!
I hate being a bystander when other people get dicked out of their money, might as well do everything I can when it's this simple to make sure it won't happen to others.
