For the benefit of others, an account named @dieworkwear runs a scam where he tries to extort brands into paying him consulting fees. He’s run the scam on a number of people and likely buys engagement to boost his posts as his like to comment ratio is bizarre. 115,000 likes and only 278 hundred comments? Also the commenters are anon accounts. Only 3 verified accounts replied. One was a friend of mine. His scam is to extort American brands who use foreign materials because comparable U.S. alternatives aren't available by threatening them with bad publicity. This can be intimidating to brands that never experienced social media shenanigans before. He then demands they pay him consulting fees to "fix" this problem for them. He admitted to running the scam many times. The reality is "Derek" could simply write a blog post listing American alternatives to foreign material vendors for everyone's benefit. It would take very little time. But, he doesn't do it which is telling since he claims he is a professional "writer." Instead, it appears he spends his energy buying engagement to try to extort his targets. I am documenting in case he attempts to extort others. Also @X may want to investigate whether he is buying engagement. Thank you.
