NFT Scammers

I honestly don't know how this can be approached, maybe as a PSA...
I am seeing a huge uptick in inquiries that are NFT scammers. I manage multiple artists' accounts and see the same scammer names/emails inquiring multiple artists with the same messages. Most are coming through Marketplace rather than directly through artist websites, though website inquiries do also happen.
You can quite often tell the person is a scammer by what they say (not specifically referencing a painting or asking about availability when it can quite often be clearly seen on websites/marketplace. But, nonetheless it's a nuisance and for some less-tech savvy artists risk to be a problem. All I know is they're getting better at tricking artists to click on links they shouldn't be clicking on.
If there is a way Artcloud can post something like "Beware of NFT Scammers!" in Marketplace notifying everyone - both artists/galleries and the scammers - that NFT scammers are among us, maybe that will cause those scammers to back down.
Thanks!

We've been monitoring this very closely! We introduced a global address and IP blocklist and have not seen any traffic from known bad actors in over a week!

Thanks, Andrew. Is there anything we should do should we receive anything? I received an email this morning and just told them not interested. But, should we forward emails to you support?
