Its all good. 
It just gives them credibility.  They are the first people to reach out to new nostr accounts.
My buddy got a dm from this fake PeterMcormack acct and I clicked on his followers how I found im in your follows🍻🧡👊🏻 

 Pretty sure that’s just his old account.  Hasn’t been active in the past year. Thanks for letting me know.
