Was borwsing twitter today and found this:

They've locked the comments so you can't really tell how many people fell for this,but since they have 120k+ followers and based on the engagement on their other tweets

You can tell that a handfull of people must be falling for this on the regular. quite sad that twitter isn't doing more to prevent these kind of scams.

Pay 2 and get 4 is definitely a scam. This is not even just pay 2 and get 4 if the victims should pay 1 BNB in order to receive 20000 USDT from the scammers. That is $20000.

If 1 BNB is worth $280, that would be pay 2 and get 71 or so. Is that realistic? Definitely anyone that falls for this scam is very greedy and also not having any experience about scam.

People should know that no money is coming from anywhere, everything like this in the past are all scam. Legit business profit is usually very small.

It's not new scam lol, just a classic ponzi scheme can found everywhere including a stranger offer this in your country.

Airdrop program is used to get more adoption about the token, but USDT already become the most popular stablecoin and it's most traded everyday, funny to see someone believe in this.

Also people who replying the tweet aren't 100% a genuine users, it might an alt accounts or bots.

no one else should be fooled by this kind of scam. I doubt it managed to get a victim. if indeed there is a transaction made, I believe it is part of the fraudster's own efforts to convince. we've seen too many scams like that. no one should fall into the hole.

whether or not reporting a Twitter account to a developer may result in account restrictions. you can try.

This doesn't look like a ponzi scheme to me because in ponzi some people actually get paid (just a fraction of investment though) in order for scheme to go on for some time, while this is just a classic scam where none gets any money back. But yeah, nothing new about this scam attempt.

There are loads of newbies who think that crypto is some sort of magic money so for them this offer seems plausible and that's the scammers target audience. And there is no lack of those..

I did already report it. I just don't think that twitter "care" that much to remove them anymore.
