Here's another user was scammed from a crypto giveaway in twitter (the tweet is now deleted and reported tho) where a verified account was hacked, and renamed the account to same as elon musk. Old? Yeah but seems people didn't learn.

The website.
Code:
muskfun.info/btc

People are too greedy to fall into this kind of scam, this is an industry where everything should be verified even if the one announcing it, is popular or well known you never know, there is such a thing as hacked account and if it'sd too good to be true, then there's something wrong on it, don't be so naive.

This is not a Twitter giveaway scam. It is only website muskfun.info with well-known Bitcoin doubler script. Twitter was used only to promote it. It has already been posted here many times websites which use the doubler script and there is always the new victim of that fraud.
Still, I can't understand how people easy send $3000 to someone based only by one tweet. Nobody clicks on any transaction link to check is it real, and that is enough to be sure that he is a fake.

Yes, yes, but the thing is the one who promoted it was a verified account which is a hacked account and renamed the same as Elon so people still do a thing and imagining things that it might be a legit one, but sadly no.
