Social-media impersonation scam spike

Orca's assessment for RD-F-109 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Social-media impersonation scam spike. Orca has active social channels (X: @orca_so, Discord). Orca's own documentation explicitly warns: 'If someone messaged you first on Discord, they are likely an imposter' with a dedicated #scam-reports channel — indicating ongoing low-level impersonation noise consistent with yellow (1-2 accounts, normal DeFi background noise). No coordinated campaign (>=5 accounts or confirmed drain reports) identified. Below tier-red threshold. This is a C-tier signal (advisory only, never flips grade).
