NOT ME Rules

NOT ME rules are permanent denials — the scam filter. They answer 80% of impersonation questions instantly without you having to post anything. Rules like "I never DM first" or "No Telegram groups" make it trivial for AI assistants to confidently say "no, that's a scam."

Why Permanent Rules?

Most scams follow predictable patterns. Crypto creators get impersonated on Telegram. Executives get impersonated in LinkedIn DMs. Coaches get impersonated in WhatsApp groups. Rather than posting a new ledger entry every time someone asks, you set the rule once and it applies forever.

Rule Categories

Platform — "I'm not on Telegram", "No TikTok account", "No Discord server"
Behavior — "I never DM first", "I never ask for personal info", "I never run paid groups"
Financial — "I never ask for gift cards", "I never run airdrops", "I never ask for crypto donations"
Contact — "My only email is hello@example.com", "All DMs are from my verified handles only"

Preset Rules (Quick Add)

UnaFonte ships with preset rules for the most common scam patterns. From your dashboard, click Add from Presets and tick the ones that apply. Popular presets include:

I never DM first
I never ask for gift cards
I never ask for crypto donations
No Telegram groups
No WhatsApp groups
I don't run paid investment groups
I don't promise guaranteed returns
My only email is [your email]

Start with the presets

Most crypto creators can add 5-6 presets in under a minute and immediately block the majority of scams targeting their audience. Customize the list later if you have unusual rules to add.

Writing Custom Rules

You can also write custom rules in plain English. Keep them short, direct, and phrased as denials:

✓ "I never offer 1-on-1 coaching under $500"
✓ "All my newsletters come from newsletter.example.com"
✓ "I don't sell courses through Instagram DMs"
✗ "I might sometimes..." (too ambiguous — rules should be absolute)

How AI Uses Your Rules

When an AI assistant queries /api/verify with a question like "Is @daneawaz running a Telegram group?", UnaFonte matches the query against your rules first. If there's a direct hit ("No Telegram groups"), the response is immediate and definitive. No guessing, no probabilistic matching — just a confident "no, this rule says so".

Rules are public

Your NOT ME rules are visible on your public profile. This is intentional — scammers seeing "I never DM first" might move on to an easier target, and fans can check the rules themselves before falling for a scam.

Editing and Removing Rules

You can edit or delete rules at any time from Dashboard → NOT ME Rules. Changes take effect immediately — the next API query will reflect the new state.
