There are too many people that is very knowledgeable about the bitcoin and because of that they use their knowledge about bitcoin and they are very very abusive with their power and knowledge. They used this to scammed many people in different platforms of social media. Twitter is very known as globally and because of that there are too many people using it.

So i noticed on john mcafee and few other of those users when they make a post, the first few responses that always show up are fake accounts whether its a fake mcafee account or binance or coinbase or similar thing and it gives you a link and tells you to read this. Also i seen the send x amount of btc or eth and receive x amount later on.
First off, if you click on these links on your phone, does that mean your phone is automatically compromised? What about if you click on these links on your computer? Im not talking about the ones where they ask you to send btc or eth to so and so address but the ones that always post a link and says read this. Does clicking on those links automatically make your phone or computer compromised if you have any crypto or sensitive information on your phone or computer?

Anyone requesting you to send some ethereum or bitcoin in the first instance with the promise of doubling or tripling it in a couple of hours already spells scam, no need to look further or check the authenticity of their twitter account An example:https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/967887920991559681

If this is true it should be reported to Twitter management, and the real account owner should also report this to authorities because they are using this for nefarious activities, and this will ruin their reputation. That accounts must be banned if it is real though.
Even if you report the situation to twitter management they won't do much cause the case is not new and twitter management are yet to do something about it. Meanwhile, Facebook secure their user by temporarily close any account or group which find suspicious unless they provide all the necessary documents. I wonder why some bounty owner even do twitter campaign.
There are just people that got consumed by greed. Looking for any ways just to get money out of peope. Twitter should try to impleement something against this. This is just unfortunate.
thanks for the info! but I think that any adequate person should understand that everyone can not send their money! especially to send people who wrote something somewhere! you need to be careful with all social sites!
Its a trouble that there are people like that everywhere, especially for the new ones that start. When they see that there is so much money, they throw themselves and do not get anything, in fact they take them away.

Only dumb will get scammed to this.
There's no way a public figure in crypto giveaway their crypto, they just share knowledge and never give crypto for free
Scammets tend to do all the possible tricks just to hooked up people who has an easy getting convinced. The thing is, when scammers are convincing us about something that we think it is impossible to happen, then ignore them, go away and do not entertained such because it is for sure just a trick of scam.
I was a victim of this ugly incidents and I lost a twitter account of over 3000 followers. I do not know what happened but i could no longer log into my account and the password were changed by some body who logged in from Russia. This experience was painful and real everyone should protect their account securely.
Thanks for this information. I am new in crypto and not really into twitter but will watchout for this shitty scam so i dont fall a victim. Scamming rate increasing daily.
Scammers trying to give us offers to multiplying bitcoins and trying to say give u good returns also many scammers making fake websites of exchanges and wallets where peoples put their id and password then scammers steal their bitcoins before one week one antminer told me i am doing mining and taking one time 71$ fee and daily give u 106$ but he don't know mining is costly need costly hardware and electricity so we need to aware from this kind of Scammers.
Nowadays many fake account use, to fool people. The scammer take advantage the internet today to steal money from people especially in a social media site specifically twitter, just a blink of an eye thousand of money get scammed.
They always appear, when I see that they know it's a scam, they cheat the good guys
