️ There is another "verification" scammer on the move, do not click on their link, it is a scam!
Genuine Mastodon servers never demand verification like this.
If you see a scam post like this, click ⋯ on the scam post, then "Report", then report it and make sure you select the option to forward the report to the origin server.

:vivaldi_blue:@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Aside from how Mastodon would never do this, I find it funny how it's so obvious in the profile picture and handle they have, LOL.
Fedi.Tipsp.s. There is a verification system on Mastodon but it's entirely voluntary and does not use credit cards or involve any kind of payment.
If you're interested in genuinely verifying your account, there is more info on how to do it here: https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-verify-my-account
TL:DR - If you have an official website you can verify that your Mastodon account is also the owner of your website. It's self-service and does not involve any kind of payment or payment cards.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services hey there how do I dm you? Mastodon does not give me the option. I want to ask a few valuable questions but yes you are right no such thing as a stupid question.
Yirggzmb@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @dmynerd78@lasersare.fun This is the nice thing about knowing your server admin. I can just dm you lol

I haven't seen the Fediverse Chick in awhile. She must not have verified her account(s)!

Yes I'm Antifa. Why Aren't U?@FediTips@social.growyourown.services
I got one of these just this morning and reported/blocked it.
The fact they used a TinyURL (y,com/[random letters] was a dead giveaway it was fake.
Ditto for any user whose handle is "Name.lotsanumbers". 🤦♂️

Yes! This is best thing about the Fediverse, keeping a direct connection between members of a server and the human beings running the server 👍
