Beware of Twitter Scammers

[waitforme]

Not only are the scammers doing the fake accounts that say "send .02 BTC and get triple" but apparently now they are either buying verified accounts or hacking them and changing the names and pictures to cryptocurrency people. Now it can actually be hard to tell if someone is scamming.

Really shitty that this is happening. Be careful everyone

This is a cheap scam, and I will not believe in them, the foolish ones with the easy-going mind will become the prey for wild animals. You should carefully check the information of any person on the social network before depositing because everything can be fraud.

Yes it is true, now scammers are getting more and more clever, now it is increasingly difficult to tell which scammers and who are not. So we should always stay alert and always check every account before buying BTC or other cyptocurrency

They are actually everywhere, not just in Twitter & Facebook but on other social networks as well. And bit hard to distinguish whether that one with dummy accounts are scammers or not, we can only determine if they start to offer suspicious schemes. We shouldn't not easy to fall by them.

Thank you for the reminder, only one thing to avoid this kind of strategy of the scammers do not gives trust without any proper proofs the legality of their offers need also to investigate for the security purposes.

There are many such fraudsters every day. In recent years, the price of bitcoin has been getting higher and higher. Many fraudsters try to make use of the fast dissemination function of social media. I think there will be more and more deception in the future.

Mostly those greed are the victims of this kind of schemes that become blinded when the offers of multiple profit had been offered,and for me thats the best thing to happen so they will learned from experience

But for many users who might become victims,better to verify first those offering before bite the baits

I really feel sad to hear all this. People are using social networking websites in completely wrong way.

Also, we should remember that how a normal user sees social networking websites is very much different in comparison to that of people like us who are active in crypto and online world. Many of them are innocent and thus fall for all this. There should be very strict laws against all this all over the world.

[Favouredhart]

Thanks for this information. I am new in crypto and not really into twitter but will watchout for this shitty scam so i dont fall a victim. Scamming rate increasing daily.

[oceantiger]

I was a victim of this ugly incidents and I lost a twitter account of over 3000 followers. I do not know what happened but i could no longer log into my account and the password were changed by some body who logged in from Russia. This experience was painful and real everyone should protect their account securely.

[maxreish]

Scammets tend to do all the possible tricks just to hooked up people who has an easy getting convinced. The thing is, when scammers are convincing us about something that we think it is impossible to happen, then ignore them, go away and do not entertained such because it is for sure just a trick of scam.

Only dumb will get scammed to this.
There's no way a public figure in crypto giveaway their crypto, they just share knowledge and never give crypto for free

[Compiler]

Its a trouble that there are people like that everywhere, especially for the new ones that start. When they see that there is so much money, they throw themselves and do not get anything, in fact they take them away.

[svetochka.yakovleva.93]

thanks for the info! but I think that any adequate person should understand that everyone can not send their money! especially to send people who wrote something somewhere! you need to be careful with all social sites!

[railyako]

There are just people that got consumed by greed. Looking for any ways just to get money out of peope. Twitter should try to impleement something against this. This is just unfortunate.

[suzanne5223]

If this is true it should be reported to Twitter management, and the real account owner should also report this to authorities because they are using this for nefarious activities, and this will ruin their reputation. That accounts must be banned if it is real though.

Even if you report the situation to twitter management they won't do much cause the case is not new and twitter management are yet to do something about it. Meanwhile, Facebook secure their user by temporarily close any account or group which find suspicious unless they provide all the necessary documents. I wonder why some bounty owner even do twitter campaign.
