Suspected to have been impersonated. Need help!

As a new reddit user, I just created this account a month ago. Three days ago, I was messaged by someone claiming that a malicious link was sent by a guy with the same profile picture, the same nickname and a similar username as me, which caused problems with his/her account. He/She sent me the account of that guy, which can no longer be found. It is confirmed that that guy does have exactly the same profile picture as me and the same name, and the username is jelfines.

💀I'm afraid. My profile picture is a casual screenshot I took before. I don't believe anyone would coincidentally use the same profile picture as me. And, "jelfines", how could someone come up with such a username except deliberately impersonating me?

I have no idea how to do.
