Post by: Saisher on November 06, 2022, 10:49:42 AM
This https://twttoken.com/ project is a potential scam

They have Elon Musk face and name on their site but there's no announcement that Elon Musk launch this twttoken.com

Roadmap stated that they did a concept way back in 2018 but there was no mention on any of Elon Musk posts both personal and from his social media accounts

The site just launched yesterday

My judgment would be a "scam" at first glance, no need for further investigation.

Developers seem to have known in advance that Twitter would be acquired by EM 4 years later even before occupying the 1st position of the richest person.

Website is currently online but if you look closely you can tell it was made for scamming.
1. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet - text on the website
2. All links to social networks are dead
3. Entire roadmap is a big lie
4. "AS SEEN IN" area is a big question mark

After Elon Musk acquired Twitter, people have been talking a lot about it. So some opportunists want to use this trending news to mislead and scam people. A project roadmap claims the concept is four years old but they bought their domain on November 5th this year! This created a ridiculous situation. This is a sure scam website. This website is incomplete, clicking on terms and conditions does not provide any information. Thanks to OP for exposing this website.

If you're not following Elon musk and you don't know what are the marks of a scam project you'll easily fall for it, unless the project comes from Elon Musk mouth and from big media, of course, even mainstream media will cover this, but as you can see its a cheap template with no marketing at all coming from mainstream media, if ever Elon Musk is going to launch his own token he will create a news conference for it and it's not going to be a long crowd sale, it's going to be a short one like one week because it can easily reach the hard cap, given how popular Elon in the Crypto industry.

This site is only one day old, it is probably still under development. ok, there is no real development here, just a scam attempt using the current most influential person and events around Twitter.
there are many similar cases, such as dogemaxmining.com Promoting using Musk's name and picture with the word (Musk recommends) DogeMaxMining... there will probably be many more.

I just saw this in my feed I don't know if this guy is being paid to do this or if he is part of the team, he is an influencer with 27k followers, I screenshot it, some people are so irresponsible that they don't do research first before promoting it to their followers

They couldn't even write the few sentences on their homepage correctly without making several grammatical mistakes. Amateur hour.

I just saw this in my feed I don't know if this guy is being paid to do this or if he is part of the team, he is an influencer with 27k followers...
He now has 21k followers. Maybe it dropped following that tweet, but I doubt it. That guy is far from an influencer. Most of those followers are probably fake or bought. His tweets have no engagement whatsoever. There are no likes, comments, or shares of his activity. It's an unimportant Twitter account shilling a scam.

Bought followers, Twitter has started recently, a bit before before the acquisition, to really hunt fake followers services so no surprise some are losing thousands in a day when a whole farm gets nuked.

As for this guy, he's just a moron, after that tweet he posted:
Quote
Dear
@elonmusk
Please kindly confirm you are aware of the below:
@Twitter
 present to you Biggest Cryptocurrencies, #TWTTOKEN

And he's specialized in "IT | Cybersecurity".

That aside, I was curious why I got results from a year ago with the hashtag for #TWTToken, with this multitude of tokens they got the same name as "trust wallet token". We've reached the point where we definitely need 4 letters for coins, this is like cities running out of telephone codes or car number plates.

No, not needed. 90% of those should just be wiped from existence. We have reached a point where it needs to become harder for douchebags to create scam projects supported by fake shittokens whose only use case is to take Bitcoin and other established alts out of your pockets and put them in the pockets of said douchebags. A bit of regulation for altcoins is definitely coming.

Seeing your reply I was curious, what's the highest token that has 4 letters, opened coingecko and, I realized I'm out of touch with altcoins.
So, I'm guessing you'll be surprised too, in the top 10 coins there are four with five letters and one with five.
USDT, USDC, BUSD, DOGE and MATIC.
I counted 20 more with 4 in the top100 before I gave up.

Maybe we won't run out of 3 or 4 letters but for sure we're going to run out *USD* 4 letters abbreviations, there are 87 damn stable coins (https://www.coingecko.com/en/categories/stablecoins)!

As you said, this has to stop, it's worse trying to recognize a coin that going through hundreds of listed companies on the stock market, and scammers take advantage of this every day.
