Verified twitter, telegram account is the strong point for a new project?

[yhiaali3]

Verifying social accounts of upcoming projects such as Twitter, Telegram, Facebook...etc. can be a strong indicator, but it is not sufficient to ensure the credibility of the project.

Professional scammers know the impact of this point on subscribers, so they work to verify their accounts by paying some money to attract investors.

Yeah, I do agree, still depends on the project itself. And that's why many projects in the past being endorsed by celebrities turns out to be scam as early as 2017. And it seems that the cycle is just repeating itself, now this verified Twitter account are shilling for projects that we don't know might turn out to be a scam. I still remember John McAfee (RIP), who uses his account to really shill for projects and then he charge like $100k if I'm not mistaken. Although he is somewhat like a crypto influencer that time, and perhaps it was really very effective method as the project is willing to pay him that huge amount of money. And this trend is going to continue so we must exercise caution as to who's who in crypto space. Still up to us to investigate and not listen to this people. And just remember that this is our money, so make sure we invest on the right project.

Before elon musk hand over the Twitter, personally i consider verified accounts are strong point for a project cause verify enhance our trust on the project and people always show interest due to verified profile. But now i Don't consider verified account as trusted cause it can be done with money. Documents are less matter now. Telegram also hasn’t fully started similar option but they make it easy for premium customer, what you need is just give them money. So dyor before invest, don't buy anything blindly only based on seeing verified blue mark

My friend informed me that at this time many upcoming project social account like twitter, telegram is verified.
Does that mean these projects can be trusted?
In fact many are encouraged to invest in any new project following this.
What is your opinion on this matter?

My opinion though, a verified social account does not prevent a project from scamming.
Matter of fact, anyone can verify their Twitter these days by paying the required fee.

Of course, verifying the project’s accounts on social media, such as Twitter or Facebook, or on popular communication applications, such as Telegram, does not indicate the legitimacy of the project or that an honest team is behind it. They can actually purchase a monthly or annual verified subscription for their Twitter account with ease in return for paying some money. As for Telegram, there are some uncomplicated conditions through which they can get their group or channel verified, so it is within everyone’s reach that even scammers can do and appear to their communities as official and legitimate, so we cannot rely on the verification mark for any project as there are a lot of other factors that show the reality of the project and its team.

this is also the case with other social media platforms, even instagram is selling blue badge which used to be only for accounts thats verified. its massively disappointing since it means that these are no more sure way to ensure that the project itself is legit when some accounts only need to pay few dollars an they already got blue badge.
even scammers could easily shell out some money just to bait bigger fish, which is to act like as if they are legit.
nowadays i'd only trust a project if their account at least have yellow badge, or gold badge many would say, at least they are shelling out some additional money which i think not every scammers can do but most certainly i don't really trust these twitter profile accounts as an indicators nowadays.

Scammer can buy blue tick. This is the main problem when people were trusting the verified twitter with blue tick. The minimum requirement must be yellow tick. It has been awarded into the project that fully verified by twitter. It will be stupid if people were believing in the blue tick project.

actually blue tick wasn’t available for money before, neither for Twitter facebook nor telegram. For verification, a person needed to be real and need to gave real documents for verification. That's why people simply Trust blue tick sign account as real. But due to elon musk business policies, bule tick account can't be trusted anyomore. Otherwise people may victim of scammers on such Social platforms

Scammer will try to verify first all of their social media accounts because it can be good approach to get attention of the investors, Verification of social accounts was too difficult even in two years ago, Now it’s very easy to verify because it’s one kind of subscription to paying some dollars in every month, So now it can't be a good indicator to detect a new strong project.

Actually, we can't be 100% confident that the project is legitimate because on average all projects use this, such as verified on Twitter and Telegram. I have joined projects several times, on average, I use verified between the two, maybe both of them help them to notify updates to the project community. and we have to be careful in choosing projects that ask for that

Yes, not all 100% verified badges on social media are for real. They can easily be claimed and bought because it's a feature that you just need to pay and you get that verification confirmation of having that badge. Aside from that, this is another way for the new projects to get verified without having to launch the project, a real project. As long as you have money to pay for the monthly subscription, you'll be thought that you are a legit one.

Nothing is guaranteed as far as crypto project is concerned due to it non regulation there are lot of project that look legitimate based on their verified socal media platform yet ended up as scam. I personally participated in one of such project on 2018, they perfected their social platform especially telegram where a moderator is always online to answer any enquires, they also have a top high ranked member of this forum as their bounty campaign manager, they run their promotion virtually in all the social media, however in the run after collecting fund through their ICOs they disappeared into thin air consequently scammed investors their hard earn money the  best bet is to invest with what you can afford to lose.

No. It just means they can afford it. And I don't think a project that can't even afford a 100 dollar and a decent design for their website could deliver anything.
It's a bias but it works. It doesn't mean that every projects with a tick are legit, but it's considered a plus thing by the general investors.
When it comes to investing, the investors need to do a thorough research and analysis and set their strategy.
So, get the tick if you wants to portray as a serious project.

It's a basic thing a project should start with. There might be successful projects without verification or unverified community pages but they were either early or are exceptions.
Getting a verification does not actually add significant advantage to being trusted. Trust is built through transparency and delivering on promise. For something that has recently started, you need a mega idea with mega promotions and a good roadmap to get success in initial funding. Further funding depends on how you perform.
