Warning - 100,000 ETH Giveaway!!!!

[Fredomago]

Thanks. I have never bumped into this yet in Twitter but I appreciate the warning.
Damn, why do people keep on doing this kind of scam attempt? It's not like they will find a lot of victims from the too-good-to-be-true strategy.
I mean, it's not really working anymore so they should start thinking about new evil ways. Social media should also keep their security higher by banning this people in an instant.

They mostly targeted those newcomers who thinks that cypto still have this same scheme and they will be able to catch something that gives them decent free bonuses, but yes, thanks to OP for bringing this up as readers here will be aware and will keep an eye with a kind of promotions, it's better to being aware even you are not really taking any actions who knows curiosities lead you being a victim of the kind of schemes.

Thanks for sharing this information and is only a greedy person can fall victim quick without making any of this Blue tag observation, respect to Vitalik twitter handle, it is a expert scammer with the relevant information that was going on as Ethereum merge.

They will try to allure some readers that don't bother to double check the information. We can't deny things that there are still people who might be fall to this kind of scam promotion.

During the Ethereum merge process, there was no Giveaway, there was an ETHW hard fork. And I also earn ETHW for the amount of Ethereum I hold. I see today's scammers easily commit fraud, they even make posts directly through our account. This has also gone viral with a BTC giveaway from Elon Musk.

While it is true that if you know what you are looking for then it is almost impossible you are going to fall for this scam, we must also remember that not every single person has the same experience and knowledge that we have, so for a lot of people a scam like this does not really look like one and instead they look at this as an opportunity to get some free money, and once that happens very few people are going to stop and think about this being a possible scam, because at that time they are making haste because they believe that if they do not then they will lose the chance to participate in such a giveaway.

They will of it as a bonus that they can take, it's true that there are still people who don't know how you research but instead they will take it right away without thinking that they can be harm from participating with this kind of promotions, it's always important to use all your resources before you take your decision in anyhow.

This kind of information is needed to bring awareness to every reader who is doing their job in searching and looking for any available information to classify the promotions that being offered.

Scammers are everywhere this day. Although that's very cheap trick to scam people but newcomers still believe those shit and get victim with such traps. the most important thing is, we can get rid of being scammed or such things if you check everything carefully. Moreover giveaway means, they are going to give us, not we're going to give them our money! Should never send money to anyone for sake of giveaway

Wtf, why there are like 19K retweet? does that many people really fall for this scam? and why the scamer have verified symbol? can you give tweet link where vitalik tweet so i can check it?

[Chato1977]

Scammers will never stop as long as there is a willing victim , specially those who are greedy and of course those newbie that only seek for instant earning and not willing to dig deeper about everything .

and 100k Giveaway? that is too much to release for now as we knew that the crypto market is suffering from the world dropping economy.

maybe many are also part of the scam team? we don't know but people seems to be still not learning from the past and still retweeting something like this.

They are growing because they see that it was easy to make money from doing this.
And we don't have a chance to rid of these scammers but have a big chance to avoid them. Like not trusting easily with these giveaways, not being greedy, and making a habit to do research.

These scammers won't succeed if we don't let them. In fact, it was easy to assess the event if that is a scam or legit but unfortunately, mostly we missed this because of money that manipulates our minds.

There are many scam attempts these days on twitter using the name of Vitalik for that purpose. Scammers hack verified twitter accounts from every nationalities and change the picture plus account name to Vitalik and start spamming the social media's crypto posts with informations and links of a giveaway which doesn't exist.

I don't know exactly what happens if you click the link, because I never went ahead fearing being hacked by something malicious on it. Better to just ignore.

Previous attempts used Elon Musk credentials, now it is Vitalik's turn. Who might be the next personality exploited by scammers in crypto environment?

I am not surprised that there are so many retweets. People see free money, don't think twice and fall for the scammers trick. I think everybody will get scammed one day (happened to me a couple of times) but sometimes it is just such an obvious scam.

They're ignorant of what's to come to them and only see the money that has been posted. Too bad that many will become victims of such fake giveaways.

It's an obvious scam, I don't think that everybody will be a victim but the sad truth is that many will become scammed.

I think this is a common thing where many verified Twitter accounts are hacked and turned into vitalik.buterin accounts to create fake giveaways with 100,000 ETH to be distributed, this is very illogical and how can there be a giveaway of that size, but somehow scammers have to stay alert for any scams, whereas verified accounts usually have a lot of followers so the target of scammers is their followers who don't know anything and try to do it, that's what we need to realize that it's all a scam.

There is one thread from @ajiz138 about scams with verified Twitter. Fake Giveaway Ethereum: by using the blue tick (verification) on his Twitter

I already thought about it now saw a news. Please follow the right path without paying attention to such news.When such news happens, maybe different hackers hack the account and make such news from his account only to deceive people.I repeat you should not believe this kind of news it is completely fake news.

The issue we have is that since this market is getting more popular as time passes not only this increases the amount of people we have in this market, this also increases the number of scammers, and since the people coming here do not have any experience when it comes to investing their money they believe whatever lie which is told by scammers and actually think that someone could organize such a giveaway, when the people which have been here for some time knows this is practically impossible and such a thing is a very obvious sign that scammers are just fishing for new victims.

[NNRR]

Giveaway like this you can see a lot on twitter so we all should stay away from these scams because they will be very greedy and take your Assets from you and you might be greedy and give them away which you will lose a lot. So we should look at this type of Giveaway carefully to see if they are true or not will face loss

[sulendra12]

Would have been better if you add "scam" in your title, I thought it was a real giveaway for that reason lol.

Wtf, why there are like 19K retweet? does that many people really fall for this scam? and why the scamer have verified symbol? can you give tweet link where vitalik tweet so i can check it?

Most of the retweets come from the scammers itself, so the "giveaway" would look legit even though it's a scam if you are around the community for long time, this thing is pretty obvious a scam.
Just make sure to check everything from the profile and everything, don't conclude everything instantly when you see big name and verified profile in their user's flair.

The reality indeed, newcomers are mostly being informed by a wrong impressions thinking that there are possibilities as to how they've heard it before, stories of people who managed to earn a huge amount of profits just by following and supporting giveaways, and that's how scammers come up with a great plans making it more realistic for people who are unaware with this kind of act.

They will bring them alluring offers and an almost duplicate by known people around this industry. They will do everything to make it look like legit and once they've got the attention, they can now easily penetrate and scam those followers who participated.

As they say “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing” we know that long time ago there were people that even made a fortune by just collecting bitcoin from faucets, but we also know those days are long behind us, but the people that come to this market know that there was a time when making money in this market was as easy as just making a few clicks and then holding your coins, but it is not as easy anymore and they do not know that, so if they see a giveaway like this they fall for it even if for people like us this is an obvious scam.

I don't know if it's a bot or real users, but they're replying the scammer tweet like it's genuine lol. Actually it's already clear the difference is from their twitter username, smart people wouldn't get trapped by this particular scam.

Not smart people. You can say those who know Vitalik real account will not get deceived by that but those who do not know and are greedy to participate will be scammed. The similarity in both accounts is close. Until now I did not know Vitalik's real account, though am not interested in freebies.

I search @rolmeda real name is Rafael Olmeda, who is him? if his account doesn't get hacked, I think he will go to the jail if there's many report created and the police obviously can get his personal information considering social media have low privacy.

And if he is caught and he makes this excuse of his account being hacked, all the money he scammed will be traced. He can not escape it if those he scams get to report him to the police.

For now we should never believe in airdrops or giveaways that give big rewards, currently for bounties in this forum the budget is usually $20k or the equivalent of 16 ETH divided by more than 1000 participants, it's ridiculous if we believe in airdrops that give big rewards.

It is why you have the option and will whether you want to join those bounties or not. You're not obliged to join each of them if you think that they have a small budget and has a large pool of participants. It's different from the typical airdrop scams that will ask you to send them money so that they can send back to you the reward that they're promising. Well, in reality, there's not that a lot of free money in the world these days so if it's like a lot really, you have the guess already and doubt it.
