Will the real Benjamin Hobbs PLEASE stand up

Benjamin Hobbs:

I received a new message on the Akimbo/CAN 10 Kickstarter today.  The person wanted to know if I had been hitting them up on Twitter (or X, if you're staying current) for money in exchange for crowdfunding advising.  I haven't been on Twitter since it WAS Twitter.

The fake profile is @HobbsBenja72296

It utilizes my profile information from Kickstarter, and it looks like this:

 

I'm in the process of reporting this profile to Twitter, but in the meantime, if they message you looking for money, please report them as a scam. 

My actual Twitter is @TheREALBenjami5

Although I'm very rarely on there.  

Next Week: Who has time to write a column? Now that I'm logged back into Twitter, I'll be scrolling endlessly.

The dude just DM'd me earlier, but the messages were pretty poorly worded. Google translate maybe. I suspected he was up to something so I googled his profile name and bingo.
