It is an existing concern for most but the problem is that people are still careless when dealing with links sends to them. They just click it and later they realized that they got caught with the bait. See how scammers take their chance and become their victims and this is because we are focused on what we have read (earnings/money) rather than thinking about what will happen next. That is why regrets never happen first but late - and so whatever we do, this won't change the reality, scams continue.

Nahh, just don't click on random links especially on twitter. Last month my friend has lost their asset because she clicked on random link on social media.
So, just click on links from people you 100 percent trust, and even so, try typing the link out and doing research to see if it is reliable or not.

I usually avoid participating in airdrop projects that necessitate wallet connection due to the inherent risk involved. Connecting one's wallet to unfamiliar projects can be highly perilous as their intentions are often unknown. When considering joining an airdrop, it is advisable to solely rely on official channels. It is unwise to trust arbitrary tweets from unknown individuals, as doing so can potentially result in wallet hacking. If still wants to join random airdrops use the new wallet.

Never click a link without thinking. Google it first if necessary. It's sad to hear that there are a lot of people who do these things and how I wish they will just be gone. It's unfair to those who are working their ass to save money and invest it and then just be stolen by those thugs that think they are above the law.
I guess every country now should increase their security in this matter and then social media outlets should also increase their monitoring workers that would delete those links that you experienced.
My Twitter is kind of a big problem for me too, I don't know why but there are so many unknown people who just keep on popping out my notifications. Twitter badly needs some fixing.

[Rampagoe004]

This is really very unfortunate. I don't know what to say. Sometimes we are deceived by scammers on Twitter. What Influencers have done is because they have been paid. Sometimes they don't really understand about it. But my advice is never link your wallet with layer-2 if you are not sure about it. I've never wanted to link my wallet to get a few dollars from Airdrops.

Yes, it is true that there are many scams on twitter that attempt to steal digital assets and personal information from users. These scams can take many different forms including phishing attacks, fake giveaways and fraudulent investment schemes. Phishing attacks are one of the most common types of scams on Twitter. These attacks typically involve a hacker posing as a legitimate entity, such as a well known company or celebrity, and sending messages to users asking for their personal information or login credentials. Once the hacker has this information, the can use it to steal the user's digital assets or commit other forms of identity theft. Fake giveaways are another common type of scam on twitter. These scams typically involve a user or company offering a prize or reward in exchange for the users personal information or digital assets. Once the user has provided this information, the scammer disappears and the user is left with nothing. Finally, fraudulent investment schemes are also known on twitter. These schemes typically involve as user or company promising high returns on investments in crypto currencies or other digital assets. These promises are usually too good to be true, and the user ends up losing their money.

This is difficult for some people, especially for those people who are just new in the space of cryptocurrency.
And for sure most of the victims of these scams are newbies maybe 90% - 100% of victims are newbies.

Even though these social media platforms continue to fight these kinds of scams still, scammers will always find ways. People must always learn first before doing anything that involves their money.

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.

Elon being the new owner of Twitter is trying hard to fight against all this. So the situation will improve in future.

Not only in tweeter my friend but also in a different social media sites,there are a lot of scammer even in telegram scammer will add you to thier telegram group with an airdrop and and if you connect your wallet to that link you will loss all the asset of your wallet, that is why you need to separate or make a new wallet every now and then separate it to the wallet that has an asset, because one wrong move your asset will be loss. We need to be careful scammers are smart and they are very good on scamming.

bro it's an insane thing, imagine you follow some official tokens/protocol, etc and you see them tweet a giveaway, most people will give in already and they don't realize yet, that their account got hacked with Simswap or something.

The bottom line for that thing was to not be greedy, if it's too good to be true then maybe it is too good to be true.

[DeathAngel]

It’s not strictly limited to crypto. There have been fraudsters & scammers everywhere since money was used as a means of payment. We can go back hundreds of years & read about thieves etc. There have been sophisticated scammers at large since the internet was invented & even before that. Just be smart, if something seems too good to be true then it almost certainly is. There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

It is one of the ways these hackers steal lots of wallet address yet many of them don't know this tricks they used in obtaining their funds in the wallet. What they do is that, they promised to give the first 20 wallet in the comment section $10 and then the gullible ones will fall for them and share their wallet in the comment section, and the scammers will then send then fake tokens to interact with, that is the bait and the moment they try to sell the token, they extract their private key in that process and when the hacker manually check the wallet, they drain every single thing they found in those wallet, this is one of the master plan scammers used in stealing assets from wallet addresses.

I think you have yourself to blame, you should have a separate address for claiming Airdrops. You have $20,000 worth of crypto and you are risking it for few tokens that you are not even sure it is going to have real value on the market. The account you are talking about might have been hacked and the hacker will just post the link knowing fully well human nature we love free food .

Social media platforms are full of scams these days, and it's not only about Twitter, I know that there are way too many scammers on Twitter mainly scamming users for airdrops and token sales by creating fake accounts and fake websites but if you look at Facebook as well, you will find an enormous amount of scammers as well which are always looking for victims and mostly newbies get to become their victims because of lack of knowledge.

People who are greedy are usually more vulnerable to such scams because they think that they can gain a lot of money out of thin air like it's that easy to earn money but in reality that's now how it works, a lot of newbies think that cryptocurrencies are a way to earn a lot of money very easily.

Influencers are one of the biggest problems of the cryptocurrency market because they don't care about the market but just want to shill the tokens they have been paid to shill and they don't care if the project are scammers and people's are going to lose money when they invest in the project because they recommended it to their followers, influencers shouldn't be trusted.
There's lots of scammers on twitter because twitter is very free to use just as we have lots of scammers on telegram because telegram is very convenient to use by this scammers in defrauding investors. We have to be careful of who we allow to come into our DMs on social medias. Scammers are working everyday to scam investors, don't be deceived like others.
If you're on any of the social media like Twitter, telegram etc that has lots of scammers, you can help in cleaning the media by reporting scammers when they contact you and try to convince you to invest into the project that they're promoting but it's a scam. Always protect your investment as we're responsibility for anything that happens to our investment.
