Title: [2015-12-21]Fake Erik Voorhees Twitter Account Tries to Steal Altcoins,Suspended Post by: hendra147 on December 21, 2015, 03:43:41 PM A fake Erik Voorhees Twitter account is trying to scam users into filling out a survey to steal their altcoins, the latest blog post from the company reveals. Erik Voorhees, CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange ShapeShift.io had reported the account to Twitter; the account is suspended as of now.
The fake account used to mirror the CEO’s Twitter account, using the same name and the image, however, there was only a minor distinction. The fake account handle is @ErikVorhees (with a single ‘o’) while the real account is @ErikVoorhees. Users of the fake account spammed people, asking them to fill out a short survey about their experience with ShapeShift. “Would you like to fill out a short survey about your experience with ShapeShift, and then get double the amount on your next shift?” http://www.newsbtc.com/2015/12/21/fake-erik-voorhees-twitter-account-tries-to-steal-altcoins-suspended/ |
