There are a lot of scams on Twitter, and illegal links steal your assets.

For me a large number of followers does not mean they can be trusted. I meet a lot of Twitter users who have tens of thousands of followers and they are people who are hunting for referral links. Usually they are airdrop or giveaway hunters.

Maybe only verified Twitter accounts can be trusted. I apologize for the misfortune that has befallen you. Maybe this can be a lesson for other members so they can be careful when participating in airdrops. I honestly don't like Airdrops asking for KYC. Because for me personal data is more important than tens of dollars.

Even a verified Twitter account is not guaranteed to be trusted, I found a verified account with the lowest followers and does not use the original profile photo, we already know that verified accounts are charged a monthly fee, so be careful browsing information on Twitter and only trust news on account sources verified and valid.

Just understand that most followers you see on social media are fake or rather a bot, so when you see such an account, you should avoid it, it doesn't matter if it is a verified account because they can hack someones account and use it to scam people,

A few days ago, I saw a KOL with a large number of fans on Twitter. He was recommending a project recommended by many KOLs. As long as he followed his guidelines, he could get more airdrop tokens. As a result, when I clicked on the link, connect When my little fox wallet is signed and confirmed, my assets will be reset to zero. I checked the data on the chain, and in a short period of time, he actually defrauded more than 20,000 US dollars in digital currency, which is terrible.

Lots of things like this has been happening recently because they always get some victim and poor newbies to follow their scam instruction which ended up with others losing their money. that's why when you happened to see such an offer just ignore it, especially those that are good to be true because non of them are really true. Greedy people always think that crypto investment is easy and they quickly doubled their money in a short period of time by following these scammer's instructions. they don't know it always takes time for the altcoins to grow and sometimes it will take years or months depending on the developer's dedication.

It's either his account is hacked or he is running the scam himself. Although I'm not familiar who KOL is, nevertheless let this be a big lesson for you and for others too.

- never click on any suspicious link
- never link your account or your wallet

So this is not only applicable to Twitter though, but to all any other social media accounts, you really need to be very careful in the world that we are involved with. Criminals are just everywhere.

Scammers are looking for channels where they know that crypto influencer use and some places where big news and events about crypto are happening that is why they use Twitter.
Airdrops are now almost 100% scam because no one will believe Aidrop again if they are legit because Scammers has already master the process by making use of it to scam innocent beginners in crypto space.

Only a small number of individuals, particularly regular investors, can honestly claim to have never fallen victim to a scam. Unfortunately, I too experienced being scammed a few years ago through Telegram when I invested in an ICO that turned out to be fraudulent, resulting in the loss of my funds. It's crucial to remember that scams can occur on any platform utilized by cryptocurrencies, not just limited to Twitter. Therefore, it is essential for us to exercise caution, gather sufficient information, and conduct thorough verifications before investing our funds.

Unfortunately that is true, there is nothing we can do to make any type of profit and that should be considered as reality. They may tell you there is a huge amount of money to be made, but there is none and you shouldn't do that. I personally hope that the best thing to do in this case would be getting as further away as possible and make a profit based on whatever you have. Too many people think about what they would do and most of them fail and they are not aware of how much trouble they are causing themselves. Just stay away, that is not reality and it will not benefit you and there is no other way, just do your own research and make your own money, that's it, there is nothing else.

Scammers can be anywhere and if there are lots of people talking about crypto, those scammers will mix in and give investment advice. Those of us who want to invest should learn more about the program to avoid being scammed. Everything can happen especially if it only requires a connection to a personal wallet where there are lots of coins that we store in that wallet. Maybe we can only do prevention by not using a wallet mixed with other coins but a wallet with no contents so that if something bad happens, we won't be affected.

yes true scammers are everywhere, however I also noticed that on twitter they have increased dramatically, especially during 2022, however telegram is also full of scammers.

yes, now scammers are very smart and are everywhere, so we have to be more careful and never open suspicious links, especially those that promise if you can get profits quickly and easily (just block them), because that's definitely a scam, especially if you like participating in airdrop, then my advice is that you better to have 2 wallets (the main wallet to store all your assets and the second wallet to participate in airdrop), so it will make your crypto assets safer to store in the wallet.

Maybe we need more than 2 wallets to separate which one we can use as a main wallet, backup wallet and wallet to join in new projects. And after getting the results from the new project and the project is really valid, we can move the assets to another wallet so they won't be mixed with other new projects.

That way, we can prevent the wallet we use for a new project from being hacked because we have separated the assets from other wallets. This method is safer than combining new project assets into the same wallet when registering for another new project.

The social network space is increasingly accessible and abused for the wrong things, instead of people having access to more positive constructive information, it is easier to be trapped by money-making tricks. different flash methods. Some KOLs that I know they are really like a drum, completely with loud jokes , don't want to be punished but the act of receiving money to do wrong things, cheating on trust is something that used to happen. It's very popular on fb, tw, tg,... What I think we need to do is learn and re-evaluate everything by ourselves, not depending on any individual or organization for our best friend's decision, someone's information should only stop at the level of reference and not an assertion for us to decide.

It's not ideal to connect your wallet to any site despite the level of airdrop or rewards being gotten from the airdrop. Alternatively as I think is better to create account and move your valuable asset to new wallet or send little amount to the new wallet before connecting to the site in other to claim your rewards, besides you must not take all information on twitter into heart as some may not be genuine and authentic.

Are we to assume that twitter has the highest rate where scam projects and promotions were being made or consider other platforms, to me I've seen alot of social media platforms more worst than twitter, you can name it in their other like telegram, YouTube, Facebook and many others, they make use of theae platforms to launch the advertisements of their scam promotions because they can easily and quickly get the attention of those in a large number to take a look into what they are promoting, this call for being more sensitive to invite links, alert abd mails link that have suspicious content demanding our click o them.

KOL, the way to deceive many newcomers to this market, actually needs to look at the problem from many sides because I see mistakes in approaching this field knowledge of new entrants. Like the misconduct of some KOLs, they are willing to scam people for personal gain, and this I think will cost them over time, when the truth is exposed to some people almost had a life in hiding with everyone's tracking.
Anyway, this is a common problem, and everyone needs to be careful when experiencing and reminding everyone around about negative things, we want to build a clean and  environment

Don't you know that followers on social media can be bought at cheap price like $1 for 1000 followers then how can you go with the numbers without knowing what you are about to invest. Keep the term DYOR (Do Your Own Research) so if you got interest because someone suggested you to do so then maybe Googling the name may find 90% of the scams.

One more reason to avoid anything about shitcoins.

Beware Twitter scammers! Research airdrops, avoid personal wallet risks. Learn from others' mistakes. First Influencers and Whales buy at cheap prices, Pump, dump, and also soft rug pull.

Crypto Altcoins are tentative but DYOR

[yhiaali3]

Twitter and Telegram are full of thousands of scammers, but the problem is not with Twitter or Telegram, the problem is with those people who salivate at the sight of "free airdrop" and do everything to get the airdrop and in the end they fall victim to their to their inexperience.

[robattfield]

Unfortunately, Twitter has become a platform where scammers can freely post content. As such, you must exercise caution and diligently conduct research before engaging in airdrops, giveaways, or any other crypto-related activity. One tip is to use a separate wallet to minimize the risk to your main wallet or your personal funds in the unfortunate event of a scam. Although many people still fall victim to Twitter scams every day, it is a lesson for us to always be vigilant about them.

Nope not really. Unless you really know the verified twitter account way of doing things in crypto, You can somehow show your trust to them but there are a LOT of verified twitter accounts that are used in scamming. There are blue check twitter that are being sold online and some of it are hacked accounts that is new sole purpose is to exploit the kind of verification they have and scam people. I've seen someone with a blue check account that impersonate elon musk and posted malicious links on every reply on legit elon musk account. The scammer achieve scamming people that way based on the wallet address that the scammer is using. Never trust anyone on social media even if it's a blue check account.

Many verified accounts on Twitter are sharing deceptive posts. They really waste their money and time to make it believable. Generally, newbies chasing free tokens can quickly be deceived. I try to ignore other posts, except for a few twitter accounts that I know and trust. Although you do not follow, there are a lot of accounts, you need to be careful in the flow. I've been hearing about these cases a lot lately, especially on Twitter.

Some scammers are actually buying verified accounts just so they could easily use it to scam people. They can easily make lots of people on that social media platform that they are legally running good projects. This is common not just on Twitter but also on other top social media sites. Lots of users unfortunately are still falling for their trap. That is why searching and double checking if there would be red flags is important for us to get rid of scammers. We should be skeptical because nowadays, they are even reaching out to people through DMs. People who aren't knowledgeable about these scam strategies are their usual target so as much as possible, we should warn our friends and loved ones about being aware of scamming activities.

I’m so sorry to hear that you were scammed by a fake KOL. That is a horrible experience and I hope you can recover your assets somehow. It is very important to be careful and vigilant when dealing with online projects and links, especially when they promise unrealistic rewards.
