further more the link in that tweet:
Code:
https://muskdrop.life

Leads to a Medium blog clone where the scammer using Elon Musk's name to lure people to invest BTC and Eth to get Higher reward back and a chance to win tesla. I wonder how many innocent and uneducated people got scammed by him.
it's an obvious scam and a sensible person would easily understand this and not fell in this trap. but those who are new in bitcoin market can easily fall for this.

Now they even clone the twitter and medium website just to make sure their strategy would work. Sad thing medium updated their new logo and that looks like busted.

I have previously seen posts about Twitter Binance being faked and they added a medium site with some modifications as possible to make it more attractive to its victims, but I believe they are the same network group that continues to spread fake news with fake giveaways in it. so from I think with a new shortcut maybe their thoughts are a lot of interest but this is a stupid thing they do, still be careful.

That's literally a shamed. Twitter should catch those impersonators on Twitter copying legit accounts and famous personalities. I've saw some blue tagged accounts posting something like that but when I found out that they aren't them that's a big trap cause possibly someome might have fallen with this. Twitter should not allowed changing of profile name at least cause these scammers are copying those huge influencers to gain attention on their cheap trick. Plus a website to make it look more credible. These criminals are really pushing just to earn money from people.
