Imposter Accounts
In my search for links on BlueSky I’m finding some accounts pertaining to journalism and fundraising for Ukraine have been tagged with an impersonation warning. Whether true or not, I include them here with a disclaimer. Some of these accounts are inactive, and the links contained in the bio may or may not be accurate. >Do not donate unless you are sure of the legitimacy of the site! I’ve been aware of accusations on Twitter between several well known Ukrainians / Ukrainian fundraisers for some time now, and I’ve always kept myself out of the drama. I’ve also seen posts on BlueSky claiming that some of these ‘imposter’ accounts were created by some of the players in this drama to hurt the fundraising attempts of others. I have the same resources the average user has to verify or debunk any of this, and I don’t want to alienate myself from the Ukrainian community, so I have to take a neutral stance by listing them with a disclaimer. But I will give you a clue. Look at who these accounts follow. Look at their posts, and the way they interact. I leave it for you to decide. My investigations so far have revealed the following:
The following BlueSky accounts have been verified as imposters by the victim or their representatives. I leave receipts where possible.
- https://bsky.app/profile/spencerguard.bsky.social (on July 30th 2023 John tweeted “Someone is impersonating me on blue sky. Please report. I am not on blue sky.)
- https://bsky.app/profile/ferlain.bsky.social (Ferlain calls this imposter out on her authentic BlueSky account in this post: https://bsky.app/profile/ferllain.bsky.social/post/3jzxlckbfvo2v
- https://bsky.app/profile/backandalive.bsky.social (Anton Muraveinyk, senior analyst with ‘Come Back Alive’ states on his BlueSky account that this ‘backandalive’ account is not authentic.) https://bsky.app/profile/anthony-cba.bsky.social/post/3k7qhrct3yp2s
- https://bsky.app/profile/nafo.bsky.social (1. @Official_NAFO tweeted they have no BlueSky account.) (2. This BlueSky account has apparently agreed to turn the account over, when requested, to @Official_NAFO.) (3. The impersonation warning has been removed from this account.)
- https://bsky.app/profile/officialnafo.bsky.social (1. @Official_NAFO tweeted they have no BlueSky account.) (2. This account has resisted all efforts to contact them.)
- https://bsky.app/profile/nafo-ofan.bsky.social (just keeping an eye on this one.)
The following four accounts are tagged as possible imposters by BlueSky. I have not seen official confirmation or rebuttal of this, but judging by the statements made by the first and the presence of the latter as follows/followers, I believe they are also fake accounts created by the same individual/s that created the fake John Spencer and Ferlain accounts.

The following accounts may also be fake, though I’ve stated my doubts previously, and I’ve found nothing to prove or disprove the accusations:
There are most certainly other fake accounts on BlueSky by paid ruzzian shills to be discovered, and I will add them to this next section as I find them. I will call this section:
The NAFO BlueSky Hall Of Shame
Please report this one for impersonation. Personally I hate parody accounts. The fact he stole the Frontline Kitchen account name just irks me
This one still refuses to leave.
Zelenskii imposter
U24 imposter
Other fake accounts, impersonators
