Obvious nonsense, but that doesn't seem to stop people....
DO NOT VISIT THE .net LINK.



Ironically, I came across it on Scammer McAfee's feed (just for the lulz) where he's promoting the KaratBars scam.....

For anyone wanting to see what happens if opened that link


The typical: Send coins to this address to get more coins back scam. I saw a similar scam on blockchain.com's Facebook page but the service itself isn't concerned about protecting their clients.

LOL, they also have a fake list of TXs showing thousands of bitcoins flowing through that address.

The reality is about half a coin: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/1NrACiUHcxpx4MT3keQehonzWktWC8NpbW

Still half a coin too much, if that was really sent by idiots falling for this.

It's still fresh in my mind that before there are also twitter accounts impersonating CZ giving ETH to people when they deposit a certain address, when I check the address there are people who have really deposited ETH and put positive comment in twitter.

These scammers have lots of twitter accounts to make this look legit, but it's already a red flag when it's too good to be true.

Yep. This was so much of a problem that CZ had to renamed his twitter name to something along the lines of "not giving away BTC" for quite a while.

Anyone know exactly how they were able to obtain the @Binance twitter handle (is it some manipulation of a special character in unicode?), as well as how they were able to obtain the verification symbol? It does look a lot more legit from the outside than the impersonator we've seen previously.

But at the end of the day, even if you did click into that link, anyone with a bit of common sense should realize exactly what's happening.
