Scam accounts on X rarely act alone.
Most of them are part of a network. They look very similar, same style of profile, similar bios, similar behavior. The names are different, but the accounts feel almost identical.
And once one of them finds you, others usually follow.
It often starts with a single follow or a DM. Then more accounts from the same network begin to appear. They reply to your tweets, send messages, or try to get your attention in different ways.
I liked a photo accidentally, then suddenly my Chat got filled with OF girls:
At that point, blocking just one account is not enough.
That’s why I started blocking the entire network instead of individual accounts. And the easiest way to do that was using Circleboom Twitter.
Why Blocking One Scam Account Is Not Enough
Scam accounts usually operate in groups.
They follow each other, interact with the same content, and often target the same users. So when one account reaches you, it’s very likely that others from the same network will do the same.
You might notice patterns like:
- Similar profile photos or no profile image at all
- Repetitive usernames with slight variations
- Very low or very high following numbers
- Strange or generic bios
- Multiple accounts engaging with you in a short time
Blocking one account only removes that single profile. But the rest of the network stays active and can keep reaching you.
That’s why a more effective approach is to identify and block the connected accounts as well.

This is important because scam accounts usually exist inside these networks. They follow each other, appear in the same lists, and often engage with the same content.
So instead of chasing them individually, you can look at the bigger picture.

How Circleboom Helps You Identify Scam Networks
When you open a suspicious account’s followers or following list with Circleboom, you don’t just see usernames.
You see structured account data.
📌 This makes it much easier to understand what kind of accounts you are dealing with.
You can review things like:
- Activity level
- Follower and following counts
- Profile quality
- Fake or bot signals
- Inactive or overactive behavior
This is where patterns become obvious.
Instead of guessing, you start noticing clusters of accounts that behave in the same way. These are often part of the same scam network.

How Filters Help You Avoid Blocking Real People
Not every account in a suspicious network is fake.
Some real users might follow or interact with those accounts without realizing what they are.
That’s why filtering is important.
Circleboom Twitter allows you to filter and narrow down the list. Instead of blocking everyone, you can focus on accounts that show clear signs of being fake or bot-like.
For example, you can filter accounts based on quality signals and identify those that look suspicious.
This helps you:
- Avoid blocking real users
- Focus only on problematic accounts
- Clean your account more accurately
In my case, I filtered the list to show fake/bot accounts, which made it much easier to identify the actual scam profiles.
My Experience Blocking a Scam Network
One scam account reached out to me.
At first, I blocked it like usual. But shortly after, similar accounts started appearing. More DMs, more replies, more follows.
Arif Akdogan
That’s when I realized it wasn’t just one account.
I checked the account’s network using Circleboom Twitter. I looked at its followers and following lists, and the pattern was clear. Many accounts looked almost identical.
Then I applied filters to narrow them down and focused on fake/bot accounts.
After identifying them, I blocked all of them at once.
And that was it.
The problem stopped.
Why This Matters for Account Safety
Blocking scam networks is not just about convenience. It directly improves your account experience.
➡️ It helps reduce spam DMs.
➡️ It stops repeated scam replies.
➡️ It prevents new accounts from the same network reaching you.
➡️ It keeps your notifications cleaner.
Most importantly, it saves your time.
Instead of constantly reacting to new scam accounts, you remove the source of the problem.
Conclusion
Scam accounts on X usually work in networks. That’s why blocking one account is rarely enough.
If you want to stop the problem completely, you need to identify and block the connected accounts as well.
With Circleboom Twitter, you can review a user’s followers, following list, or retweeters, filter out fake or bot accounts, and block them all at once.
Instead of dealing with scam accounts one by one, you solve the problem at its source.
