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.

Well if you have to warn a person to not fall for the "send .02 BTC and get triple" it's a lost case. Any human being falling for that is driven by greed. Shocked

People now use to farm followers pretending that they have giveaways. Also they use twitter for selling token what do we could selfdrop but paying amount of eth and you will received big number of token but people did not know that the project is not exiting with out website community etc. People need to be careful in this matte.

I think bitcoin is suppose to be most trustable and confidential site and crypto currency in terms is security and it is just next to impossible to hack or crack any bitcoin transactions and I think there must be a tag line for them that we are known for the security but no one can control the fraud, it’s totally depends on the user , bitcoin clearly states that be very much cautious while transacting through any unknown user because they could not be verified and the same issue has happen with me , I got looted with thousands of bitcoin in like one of these frauds.

Has anyone notice whenever mcafee or charlie lee makes a tweet, the first few tweets that show up under it is the scammer pretending to be macafee or that ETH guy and then they say send 0.1 eth or 0.1 btc and get back 1 eth or 1 btc? And then they post a link right below it in the next tweet etc? There is like 3 tweets right below the mcafee tweet and they post a link or 2 links.

Does anyone know if clicking those links automatically make whatever device you use hacked whether its your phone or your computer? I assume if its your phone, its not that bad if you dont keep your coins there? However, wouldnt they have access to your email account though if you click on the link and say you are signed in your email on your phone which almost everyone does?

What if you click on it on your computer? Do you automatically get hacked with whatever wallet or email when you log into computer? Or its only if you click on the link and then enter some information? Example i know if you click on certain phishing sites and put in account details, you get hacked that way. But i like to know does clicking on those links automatically mean you get hacked?

the recent social media industry has been battling with series of hacking operations most especially with accounts of facebook and twitter. i will advice that all should activate the two-factor authentication on all social media accounts to avoid having their accounts being hijacked by scammers.

Now they hacking twitter to get lots of followers instantly, i'm sure those people hacking twitter account are bounty hunters because only bounty hunting need much followers to gain huge profit, or this hacker hack twitter account specially with huge followers then sell it to bounty hunters, not good.

While bitcoin gains its popularity many people uses it in a bad cause. It is a sad reality that bitcoin market is facing. Scammers used dummy accounts on twitter which says promise of gaing bitcoin by sending them off some crypto or cash. Other form scam.can be in form of hacking your account thru sending dm that when you click.automatically gives you a virus which used.in hacking.

This kind of Twitter scams are really very common. The most annoying thing is that apart from them just tweeting from their scam Twitter handles, they also spam you several times tagging you in the tweets. Most of them do it to raise Twitter followers and also to steal from people. Twitter need to take action against such criminals. This is why I no longer participate in Twitter airdrops.

This is really a good time to be vigilant on the internet. A whole lot of things may look real but will eventually be a scam. First of all, you should check a lot of social media platforms to confirm the originality of a project and not from one source.

A sad truth about the bitcoin market. Since bitcoin become popular many people used it to scam to other people. They rather used dummy accounts on twitter promising a high rate of btc for change of money or hacking their account. It can cause doubts for investors. For all.of these we must be aware of the right way of using bitcoins
