Exactly.
Really, how people can be such stupid? Exchange asking to deposit to address posted on fake Twitter account. Does people can't realize that every user on exchange have UNIQUE deposit address.
Double Ethereum deposits? Didn't heard that Binance become to some kind of gambling website which offering deposit bonus
Don't know how stupid people should be to fall into this trap.

It's not only binance that's being faked. Also with McAfee's, Boxmining's, Vitalik's, Roger Ver's, etc's twitter are being faked. The worst thing about this scam trend is that the number of fake accounts are somewhat increasing, so it simply means that the scam is working. I really don't know how people fall for this though. ugh

How do people fall for this stuff? It is absolutely ridiculous to think they are going to "double" your deposit. If they could do that why the hell would they need your money?

Most of the time, greed. Apparently when people get greedy somewhat their brain shuts down, disabling their ability to think and decide cautiously; for some reason.

Those hungry scammers are on the move again! They don't want to fight fair in life. Guys be more vigilant and make sure that before you invest into something, it should be legit and trustworthy. Don't let your hard earned money fall into the scammer's hands. If something is too good to be true, it is not true! Much better to do trading on your own and manage it by your self to lessen the risks!
