I’m getting scam private messages on this forum every time I post a question.

Usually they tell you to go to their scammy “support website”.

Just a warning

Thanks for reporting.

Be wary of any DM and do not go to any “support website” that is not [algorand.org](http://algorand.org), algorand.foundation, [algorand.com](http://algorand.com) or perawallet.app.

If you have any doubt, please add me to the DM conversation so I can check.

I am getting these messages now, probably as I am a new user. Who can I contact from the admin team to help/report these users?

You can flag them for spam and admins you’ll get notified. You can report them to me, if you like.
