Scammers Pretend to be Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Vitalik Buterin on Twitter to Steal Bitcoin

Scammers' posts have recently been posted straight under verified updates from Elon Musk, John McAfee, 50 Cent, Vitalik Buterin, Charlie Lee, and major cryptocurrency firms like Coinbase and CoinMarketCap, and even president of the US - Donald Trump. Fraudsters use almost identical usernames to those celebrities in the hopes of being accepted as real.

In a desire to trick fintech fans and get money, cryptocurrency scammers create fake Twitter accounts of famous people and set a lure under their real posts. The lure is just a slight variant of the same pitch – a deal too good to be true.
