As we grow (and we are growing fast), I can’t personally patrol every corner of the community the way I used to.
The front door is well-defended, but every now and then somebody can slip in by pretending to be a baker when they’re really here to sell, scam, or distract.
💡 I do NOT want you so cautious that you stop interacting, helping, and cheering each other on. That’s the heart of this place
💡 I DO want to raise your awareness so we can keep this the cleanest, safest bread community on Skool
👀 Here are some telltale signs to watch for:
• They start DM’ing you about things that have nothing to do with bread or baking(grants, investments, crypto, “business opportunities,” side income, loans, “funding,” etc.)
• They push you to move the conversation off Skool quickly (WhatsApp, Telegram, private email, random links)instead of talking in the comments where everyone can see
• Their messages feel scripted or generic like they could send the exact same thing to 100 people at once
• They ask for money, banking info, or sensitive personal details in DMs even if they use words like “grant,” “scholarship,” “investment,” or “support”
• They join and almost immediately start pitching services, courses, “done-for-you” offers or anything that smells like a sales funnel instead of getting to know people and talking bread
• Their profile looks off no real photo, almost no activity, or a location or story that doesn’t line up with what they’re saying
🛑 If you see ANY of this, here’s what I need you to do:
1️⃣ Do NOT click sketchy links, send money, or share personal or financial info
2️⃣ Take a screenshot if you can
3️⃣ DM me directly, right away, and tell me who it is, what they said, and whether it was a post or a DM
4️⃣ If it’s a post that looks out of place off-topic, sales-y, weird DM me the link or a screenshot and I’ll investigate
⚡ If it turns out to be nothing, no harm done
⚡ If it’s a problem, I want to take action fast remove the post, warn or remove the person, and, if needed, report them to Skool
Protecting this space is part of my job but with our size now, I can’t do it without you
🤝 This community runs on trust, generosity, and honest learning
If you see something, say something to ME
And if someone sends you a DM and you don’t know them or what they’re saying doesn’t clearly relate to what we do here come to me before you engage
Ever vigilant
