️ Scam alert: if anyone ever asks you to "temporarily change" the email address on your Mastodon account, DO NOT DO THIS.
There is currently a scammer posing as a server admin telling people to temporarily change their Mastodon account's email to an address supplied by the scammer. This is a scam, don't do it.
Real admins will NEVER ask you to do this.
You can see examples of this scam in the thread at https://ohai.social/@redsad/115708030185038699

Something very similar was attempted with me through Steam. That was two or three years ago. I think the perpetrator got what was coming to him, because I reported the incident to all three mediums/platforms he tried to exploit to do it.
