I have been in cryptocurrency market long enough to know "DM first is not real admin". They are mostly scammers and if I want to check, I will find the official admin with same username, then click on PM, to see is it a same user just sends me a DM previously. If not, it is an impersonator of real admin.

Mostly I even don't mind to do this step because DM first is already a signal of scammer/ impersonator.
