Dear Councilors and Community,

**The Anti-Scam team is opening this proposal to top-up its Anti-Scam bounty- `Bounty 11`, whose aim is to fund initiatives that protect the community from scams by tracking/pruning scam activities as well as promoting user safety via educational initiatives.**

The link to the original top-up proposal post can be found [here](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/bounty/11#10a34324-b700-4fee-9d1b-7a99c308af89).

The anti-scam bounty has been running for roughly a year now and has helped fund multiple anti-scam tasks, whose details can be found in the previous comments on the [bounty's page](https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/bounty/11).

This top-up will enable us to continue with our anti-scam efforts and expand the initiative to protect the Polkadot community from as many areas of scam as possible.

Details of this proposal, including what we have achieved so far, our future goals, and an estimated break-down of the requested top-up, can be found in the [proposal document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/118llNv0JydkEnvd9NXeUebYfYnAJs-k6QvITVhVjx70/edit).

`NB`: The beneficiary for this top-up is the actual `bounty account`, which is controlled by the Anti-Scam General curator account. This can be confirmed in [an explorer](https://polkadot.subscan.io/account/13UVJyLnbVp9RBZYFwHYxa6GPKJ2SqkGg4Mo7jG7uLAbPkT8).

Thank you.
