Another day, another imposter! ChrisShiflett7 on Twitter. They aren't even having a good crack at it, just retweeting the stuff from the genuine article

Not member impersonators but IG accounts that represent themselves as fan accounts but link to scam merch sites:

foo.fighters.big.fans
foo.fighters.loving

A Pat Smear account reeled someone in & gave them an email address for a “Janet Fraser” to take payment for the $390 meet and greet.
