The NFT marketplace will make substantial investments in a variety of important areas for trust and safety, including theft prevention, IP infringement, scaling review and moderation, and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/opensea.io\/blog\/announcements\/our-efforts-to-curb-fraud-and-plagiarism-and-whats-next\/\" data-amp=\"https:\/\/opensea-io.cdn.ampproject.org\/c\/s\/opensea.io\/blog\/announcements\/our-efforts-to-curb-fraud-and-plagiarism-and-whats-next\/\">reducing<\/a> critical response times in high-touch settings, as per a recent blog\u00a0by\u00a0the project\u2019s co-founder and CEO Derin Finzer.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, OpenSea has established a special moderation team to handle review and moderation. For copyright concerns and other fraud vectors going forward, it will use &#8220;critical auto-detection&#8221; technologies. According to Finzer, removing these types of items from the platform will improve its overall performance. It will also prevent unsolicited advertisements and fraudulent items that may be found on open blockchains from being seen on OpenSea.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Like receiving an unwanted email, it&#8217;s possible to receive NFT transfers from people you don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, we&#8217;ve seen scammers use these transfers to entice people to click links to malicious 3rd party sites.<\/p>\n<p>Our latest Trust &amp; Safety release helps prevent this new scam. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qPHIif2WVT\">https:\/\/t.co\/qPHIif2WVT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Devin Finzer (dfinzer.eth) (@dfinzer) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dfinzer\/status\/1536483501087899648?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 13, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\nOn Teusday, the OpenSea CEO tweeted that it&#8217;s possible to get NFT transfers from individuals you don&#8217;t know, just as with receiving an unwanted email, adding that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Recently, we&#8217;ve seen scammers use these transfers to entice people to click links to malicious 3rd party sites.
