People should really be smart enough to know not to fall for such scams. There was another case with someone posing as Ethereum founder, saying send 0.5 ETH and get 5 ETH in return. Seriously, how gullible can people be? If Vitalik wanted to give away ETH, wouldn't it be easier to just say "post your ETH address here and receive 5ETH"? Why would he have to take ETH from you first? People need to wise up!

Yikes. How the hell are the scammers getting the blue "verified" tick? Shouldn't be that easy right? Twitter needs to up their game as soon as possible.


They are hacking people outside of cryptocurrency with verified badges and then changing their name. On other platforms, if you change your name you have to get reverified ( which only seems right ) but I guess on twitter you don't have too.
Oooh. This makes more sense. They probably target the not-so-famous verified people on twitter right? And yea, why the heck are they free to change their names without a re-verification. Huge flaw on Twitter's part for sure. These scammers are freakin clever though.

Scammers are scammers,we cant do anything about them but to put extra cares,and dont just trust anyone that offers you something like big income without doing appropriate to earn such offer..and most of the time people become victims becauseof greediness,not thinking of right thing but just to earn from nothing

Not only are the scammers doing the fake accounts that say "send .02 BTC and get triple" but apparently now they are either buying verified accounts or hacking them and changing the names and pictures to cryptocurrency people. Now it can actually be hard to tell if someone is scamming.

Scammers are everywhere now. They take advantage on cryptocurrency popularity to gain money from unknowledge people.
So always becareful with this modus. Dont ever fall on their hole by checking every detail possible before doing transaction.
