    It will always be an endless game of whack-a-mole, but I believe KZread has the ability to make it increasingly difficult to run those operations that it will no longer worth the scammer's time. In addition to IP ban and special character limitation (for username), IMEI ban and email ban can also be implemented. Give the real KZread channel (the monetized ones) names a special font (and perhaps larger font and the ability to use emoji) that regular users can't use.

    I think the best course of action, as suggested, is not allowing weird fonts or the checkmark emoji on channel names. Also maybe if it looks suspicious it can be flagged as a potential scam and shown as a warning to viewers. Maybe also the channel creator can disable it for certain people if it’s a reoccurring mistake.
