A label should be displayed next to potential imposters
A label or notice should be displayed next to potential imposters, to prevent confusion/scams.
For example, if I had a friend called lego#0001 (random name, not actually my friend). If somebody used Nitro to name themselves Iego#0001 (with a capital 'i') then it would be very hard, if not impossible, to differentiate between the two.
Or alternatively if he had the same name and profile icon but a different tag, it would still be really confusing as I may not have had my friend's tag memorised.
My suggestion is that a small ❗️(exclamation mark) symbol could be displayed next to their username (be it in DMs or in servers) but only locally, for the individual who has similar profile details.
A final example for clarification:
• I have a friend called lego#0001.
• If somebody uses the name 'lego' (with or without 'i') and/or has the same profile icon as him, a ❗️ should be displayed next to their name.
• If a user hovers over the label (PC) or presses on it (mobile), it would display a text.
• Something along the lines of 'Your friend [clickable link to their profile] has a similar profile to this user'.
• If there are multiple 'potential imposters', then a list would be displayed when the label is hovered over.
