Well you have a point but same as the founder of FB, Dr. Kokkkalis, Fan and McPhillip will put behind bars if proven selling customer personal information. I don't defend those Pi Network team, I just can't tell for now if they're bad persons. lol Also their twitter got verified a month ago I think. So no need to doubt about them for now too.
Right, there's no single victim got scammed yet... that's why the accusation created for.
Prevent is better than cure.About verified accounts
The blue verified badge on Twitter lets people know that an account of public interest is authentic.
Verified or not doesn't mean it's legit, twitter aren't moderated scam project. The account got verified since many newbies exited about the new innovation (mine trough phone) while the truth, they only selling his personal information for worthless and not tradable coin.
Many people try to gaining trust as much as possible, after they got it... they turn to be a scammer.
Pi network has got everything running perfect and has the clear roadmap. From different users view, if the pi network coin has got listed to any of the exchange it could've been termed legitimate by most users. Going through the Google Store found pi network downloaded by more than 5m+ users. If it is a scam, surely such a big number of downloads isn't possible.
Nothing is impossible, many newbies from third world countries still doing faucet, micro task, referral link to survive. And it's just like Pi network who offering mine trough phone (which is easy) and no one has been scammed yet. This is why many newbies still believe this scam coin.
You can look how dangerous this app if you install it.
