[Warning] Scammers have created fake crypto projects using the X.com name.

Investors are supposed to be smart persons and usually do their own research before investing in any new project.
If Elon is to launch his own token then the first logical thing any smart investor would do is to check Elon's official account to verify the information.

I wonder why Twitter is so slow at handling this kind of thing. I've seen dozens of accounts with similar operations doing fake giveaways or airdrop trending on their page, but those accounts are still there without no action taken against them.

it's either there are not enough reports being made against the scam account to warrant an action or they probably just don't care. because if they cared, even if there is only one report against the scam account but as long as the report is accurate, they would have banned the account.

also, Facebook is the same, I can't count the number of accounts that I have reported on Facebook because the account is obviously trying to scam people but no action is being made.

If its a post it can be taken down or they will take action on it, but if its a paid ad they are not going to do that to refund the advertisers they will just recommend you block or hide the ads, and they will not do a refund they will deliver as many views and click on the ads based on the package, because Facebook is profit driven their users are their product and the advertisers is their cash cow, so they will always favor their advertisers.

I don't think this is correct. Even paid ads can be removed if it violates any of the policies of the platform. Also, after removing it, the publisher is unlikely to get his money back. I doubt they will refund him.
The problem with Google, fb.. is that they don't handle reports quickly and there must be many reports before they take it seriously and take an action.

just want to add that here are some more accounts that posted the same project.
https://twitter.com/XTokenBEP
https://twitter.com/X_TokenBSC

The first one has already been deleted. The other one is still alive, but has less than 500 followers and is not a big threat yet. It should still be deleted though for the safety of everyone involved. 

it's either there are not enough reports being made against the scam account to warrant an action or they probably just don't care.

Don't forget that Elon fired many people, and Twitter has less staff now than what they had in the past. It's obvious they will be struggling on all fronts because of that.

Smart investors do not invest in such fake projects, they do maximum research about the project before investing. Most of the people who invest in these fake projects are newbies, so it is easy for scammers to brainwash them.
And if Elon wants to launch a project, then it would be the biggest hot news in the market, then such fake Twitter accounts would disappear because of that news.

All these newcomers have a great desire to earn a lot of money quickly, without making any effort for this. And given the fact that they have no knowledge of how the cryptocurrency market works and due to which it is possible to legally earn a profit, they succumb to the dubious promises of scammers and as a result part with money.

Scammers aren't going to let opportunities pass. When they're using marketing techniques they'll attract negative attention from scammers who'll try their luck. They'll plot to scam as many ppl as possible. If it isn't X.com it'll be the next famous business making waves.

It was expected that scammers would try to take advantage of the fact that Twitter is rebranding into X. It worked well in the past with all those fake Elon Musk crypto giveaways. I am sure these fake X token scams will be successful also. Greed is greater than logic, and unknowledgeable plebs will get hooked to this like crazy thinking Elon is throwing away money.

Yeah, and they are really good at it, finding those news that are hype like Twitter->X. And then this criminals jump on the opportunity to create a fake website just like what we have seen in the past.

And it's good that this community is still very active in catching this scammers and letting everyone knows and we can only hope that no one will fall for this trick because it's going to be very difficult to bounce back after you fall for it. So let everyone knows that they have been warn.

Scammers know that, the name of Elon musk has a lot of influence in the crypto market and if they create a fake project using the name of Elon's project, the scammers can take advantage of it, so such fake websites are coming to the market. I've seen scammers using NewsTrend, and scamming crypto users. So it is expected that scammers will come up with more fake crypto websites using this X.com name.

If it's a scam it'll be posted about in this community. Users report scams to warn ppl when they're told about it so that's a positive. The scammers use Telegram, phishing sites, email so it wouldn't be unimaginable for small groups getting trapped to buy scam tokens. If innocent minds continue buying scam tokens each time they'll receive emails the scammers won't stop trying.

The X.com name is still being used to create fake airdrops, and scammers are using Twitter to spread those websites. Twitter accounts that are being used to promote fake airdrops also show a high number of followers, although those followers are more likely to be fake, but those Twitter accounts may seem credible to crypto users. It is impossible to guess how many more fake websites they will create using this x.com trend!
