How to spot a fake Ycombinator account: the real account never DMs you about giveaways, investment opportunities, AI trading bots, recovery services, or "exclusive" airdrops. Anyone with "official", "real", "verified", "support", or trailing digits in the handle is almost certainly fake. Verify only via Ycombinator's official website or verified linked accounts — never from a DM, reply, or search result.
