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.

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.

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.

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.

Can Twitter accounts profile name and Twitter handles be changed? I have not touched my Twitter that much so I am not particularly sure.
It's possible.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
