Be careful with projects that imitate airdrops and their sales.

[salad daging]

I saw Project Galaxy copied by a group of scammers they lowered the airdrop of $100k to $1,000,000 on twitter and also sales on Pancakeswap with a minimum purchase of 0.3BNB, I'm sure when you could buy you won't be able to sell it maybe you can call it Honeypots.
They stole the image from the real thing to trick his followers into becoming part of their trap.

But I saw the original project would be Lunchpool on Binance and never traded on Pancakeswap.
So be careful maybe the scammers take advantage of their large following and also their sales on pancaswap.

I guess that twitter account is a hacked one and just renamed its name and username as it has quite lot of followers already.

Although I see no typical giveaway deposit requirements, but its ridiculous to see that there are lots who participate on the pinned post knowing its fake. I hope you report the account as i did though.

Look at the handle, it's 'Galxy' instead of 'Galaxy', these accounts are created only for scam purposes. Regarding followers, it doesn't take much effort on Twitter to get that count up.

Yeah, but I don't think all of them are bots or whatnot. There are users i followed following the account (since its visible checking using your account), even a verified account too lol. So there's a bigger  chance that this was a hacked account like what other incidents who copied elon profile and do fake giveaway.

I suggest anyone to report the profile soon as you see this thread.

Can Twitter accounts profile name and Twitter handles be changed? I have not touched my Twitter that much so I am not particularly sure.
If it is possible, this could possibly be a legitimate account with a lot of followers, not related to Project Galaxy or whatever that project is, but was bought by someone for this kind of purpose.
In Facebook, pages can be sold and I had some meme pages I followed back in the days that just changed their name into something that I was not even aware of until I checked the old posts.

It's possible.
The account also not verified, I don't know if verified account could change the profile name, perhaps it's more difficult I guess.

Almost project right now is promoting their project with airdrops and to participate in airdrops is really easy, that's why many newbies like airdrop project. If you want to avoid getting scammed, you should avoid any shitcoins at all cost. Choosing an altcoin is just like a gambling, you can be correct and you can be wrong.

Anyone should be attentive enough and careful with everything. I have never even participated in an airdrop project until now. Although I heard that there are some airdrops that become coins or tokens that are expensive. But that's very rare for this year. They are smart by making similar names even if they are different, and regarding the number of followers you can buy them for now. There are many price offers in social media to increase the number of followers.

The account also not verified, I don't know if verified account could change the profile name, perhaps it's more difficult I guess.

It's possible to change one's Twitter display name whether or not they are verified.

On other social platforms like Instagram, it is possible to check how many times a user has changed their handles in the past and can be used to guess the possibility of these accounts being scam related. Would be a good addition on Twitter as most of the scam accounts are recycled and used again.

Twitter is the easiest way to make a fake one. These scammers even using a verified twitter and copied the details of the original one and some will not noticed it since it has many followers and the blue tag. What worse is Twitter allowed the said activity to happened. Some of those scammers bag already many funds stolen from this way so must be careful.

Twitter should ban all verified accounts with these kind of activity cause its hurt a lot of investors.

Yes and I agree with your statement regarding those verified accounts who does scammish things like this. The hackers are really desperate and trying different methods or strategies just to deceive users. As Elon Musk is taking over Twitter, hopefully he is going to include this in his to-do list to minimize scamming activities especially if it’s a “verified” account.

Not only Twitter scammers are using the same method on YouTube and Facebook. They generate revenue by scamming those who are always greedy and go for such fake airdrops or multipliers. This not new but still an effective way to scam.

I would recommend not to believe in anything you hunch feels is a scam, I am not much of the social media type, but I believe twitter is becoming the headquarters of Crypto-currency scam and everyone need to be aware of this, keep what of all the fake give aways, airdrop or even fake influencers shilling and also so many bot, imposters accounts are being created on twitter, always try to verify anything before being a part of it

[The Cryptovator]

It's a clear scam, with nothing to do with Airdrop or the main project. Scammers always doing that, nothing new. They are just spreading their scam methods by fake Airdrop. That project is ready for Binance Launchpool they won't sell the token on Pancakeswap. Then Binance won't allow them to sell their token on the Launchpool. Just don't be greedy and don't lose your funds. Every day a lot of scammers repeating same things.

[$crypto$]

I see the fake Twitter account has been suspended and can't be accessed again maybe because they have reported many cases so they are more vigilant about it.
In this case, there have been a lot of things happening on Twitter by cloning fake Twitter for a big project but they take advantage of the situation of people who don't know to take part in giveaways and also sales that don't make sense, so I think this is good, Twitter is gone, I hope a lot of people are more aware of airdrop hunting on Twitter.

This strategy is not something new today. In the telegram, every big project community manager has more than one scammer with the almost same name. Actually, they do minor changes like changing capital later to small later which looks almost the same, and sometimes reckless investors don't notice those small differences. I can see the same thing happens with its Twitter username.

The real one will remain.
This kind of scam trick isn't new but somehow many people got to fall into this. If we do not look carefully at their names and do searches, we easily got tricked.

The problem with Twitter and even the other social media platform, people can easily make and change their names which is why it is hard for them to get traced and caught by the authority.

It would be quite tricky for some people not paying attention to much to details. I am going to admit that that I did not notice the missing "a" in the Twitter handle in the first place.
When I open Twitter, I usually just look into the name and handle itself then follower count then continue to scroll down to the oblivion and I know there would be some people similar to me when it comes to that.
Good thing I don't invest to these anymore.

If the authority will directly ask this platform staff it might be caught but if the account was made for the scam purpose and everything was there is fake, there's nothing we can do.

This is a part of Elon Musk's plan when he bought this platform, to eliminate those fake accounts that cause different scams and also spamming a scam on Twitter or defeating spambots.  He wants to become a decentralized platform, an open-source algorithm.

This isn't new, we always encounter fake social media accounts from those popular projects for the purpose to scam people.  Learn how to verify the legitimacy.

I guess that twitter account is a hacked one and just renamed its name and username as it has quite lot of followers already.

I don't think it was hacked they just try to copy the official project name and username to deceive people. Having alot of followers on twitter is now very easy, People buy followers and also with money there is a way to get verified on twitter too nothing is impossible nowadays. The scammers invest money to set up the account to make it look real and that's what they are doing nowadays so let's all be careful not to fall victim.

Possible, but like what I said, that account has verified account follower too, even some accounts I followed is following that account too. Don't you think, these account is part of the buy/sell scheme of followers on twitter even the verified one? I don't think so.

Anyways, seems twitter is fast handling reports now, the account is already suspended.

This one is been suspended already. I guess there is someone who reports them.

Yep, i did, twitter did confirmed and give me an update regarding the report.
