Hi guys, this is serious: BE CAREFUL

The following message is a SCAM: Hey, please don’t freak out, but I need to be honest with you. I accidentally reported your Substack account instead of someone else’s. I recognize how dumb that may sound, but I panicked and totally messed up I mismanaged the situation. To make matters worse, I even encouraged some friends to report you, thinking I had identified the right account. Now, I’m genuinely anxious because I never intended for this to happen. I don’t want your account to face a ban due to my mistake. That’s why I’m reaching out, just in case Substack contacts you or follows up. I genuinely hope to rectify this if possible. I am truly sorry for this oversight. It was a thoughtless mistake, and I sincerely hope you can understand. It may seem trivial, but I submitted a complaint without realizing its implications, and they later emailed me, which made me aware that you hadn’t been notified about it. That’s why I wanted to reach out and clarify.

I have received it this morning in my chat. I didn’t write to the contact because I found it weird that support for Substack should be on Discord. But I have reported it. So just be careful!
