I am new to the crypto and already lost 0.4 BTC to the twitter scam.
The link to the so called 5K BTC giveaway initiated on this forum, pointing to exchange owner ( cz_binance) verified twitter account on which imposter posted a large banner with the deal right after the API swap. So it sounded like the Binance owner was apologizing for the API incident and makeing it up by offering an 5000 BTC giweaway. It looked legit, posted from the CZ twitter verified time line. And the page it was sending you too was showing live, incoming orders, very realistic call to action. I have been to IM for over 10 years and have avoided most of the scams but this one came from the Binance owner twitter account , how was I to think he would allow scammers to post such material on his timeline.Dont they periodically filter whats posted?
Anyways,they just now suspended abusive twitter account but their website asking to deposit BTC is still up.

The user of the payment network Vitcoin independently decides when to complete the stage of confirmation of the transaction, with six confirmations the transaction is already becoming safe.
Never on my experience tell you do not go on the links that are sent by unknown people. This certainly will always lead to a greater percentage of the danger that your social network may be hacking.
I could understand someone very new to this market could fall for that, but even in the non crypto world if a deal is too good to be true you should probably stay away. However, can you also change the “username” on Twitter? (What comes after the @) Besides the name and the blue mark I always check the username to ensure it is legit, but if you can simply purchase a verified account and change everything, including the username, what is the point of getting verified at all? That would be ridiculous on Twitter’s end, and a major security issue.
Scammers are using twitter to get people secret information and we have to be careful. It has happened to me when I joined Twitter campaign for dextrocoin but I couldn't be trapped. The manager kept sending me message through twitter to know more about me but I refused. I was not paid for the campaign I participated but he was interested in my details. We should be very careful.
Be very careful - sometimes scammers coexist almost everything .. and the name of sites and names and tags, but the difference is sometimes only one character ... Be careful, do not send private keys and purse addresses to anyone ..
I have reported quite a few accounts already.
I suggest for everyone to do the same when they encounter these people.

Hard to detect such scammers?? Only greedy person will give such excuse for being scammed and be fooled by such unbelievable deal.. There is a reason for everything,, scam bags are often given random messages like that,, but that won’t be enough when the receiver have no interest to it..
Our ignorance is not about what we think is right,, but for what we can earn.. To be greedy is our way and almost all used it for they’re advantage..

Swindlers everywhere, already got people who want to take control of someone else's money without applying special efforts. If this is true, then Twitter should pay attention to it in the shortest possible time and correct mistakes, as it hits the reputation greatly .
Another important fact is what will be the rate of bitcoin and any other crypto currency, although analysts predict that in 2018 the cost of one bitcoin will be $ 7500, and accordingly it will not be difficult to calculate future revenues.
This cannot be said enough times. The amount of scammers on twitter is alarming. What makes me sad is that there are people who fall for these scams everyday and end up thinking bitcoin is a scam and they no longer buy into the market.
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.

You know what if people are so stupid and they still believe in such an occasion this is their problem and I am not sorry for them at all. This is so old scam that I just don't believe that anybody can still be a victim of this super deals. Nobody gives you money for free, especially in crypto. If something looks like a scam, smells like a scam then probably it is a scam and you should be warned.
it's almost impossible to transfer money directly, so users started to create electronic payment means. Mediators make all transactions, charging fees for transfers.
Encrypted copies of this database are kept by all participants of the system. If we consider bitcoin, then the base is everything that is done with this crypto currency, operations
In addition to the classic method, there is also cloud mining of bitcoins. This is a simplified way, how you can earn on the mining of crypto currency bitcoin.
Yes be very careful on twitter. This is why bans are being put in place and there are so many scammers right now and these people are destroying the reputation of bitcoin.
Yes many of the hacking series are happening right now on twitter.
So we should be careful, Especially we do not know who we can trust.
Like my friend who lost twitter because of hacking it!

wow thanks for your info, lately i saw scammer like that in twitter, at the first time i dont know that is a scam but i just realized that, its not possible that can make many money without effort and no risk. just double and triple your bitcoin in one night? haha immposible
This is why facebook and twitter are banning cryptocurrency ads, due to the high number of scams being carried out on these platforms using cryptocurrencies Ads. A lot of people do not do research into cryptos so they take these information from these scammers as the truth since they do not know much about bitcoin. Everyone should be careful who they do transactions with.

1) Those offers regarding doubling or tripling the money are always fake. This is also done on a large scale in Facebook groups and I think they might be able to find some innocent people falling for this. This is one of the worst ways to make money as the person is scamming.
2) Regarding hacking the Twitter accounts and changing names to crypto, this is also for money. There are so many legal ways to make money and it really makes me feel sorry for people going to such low levels to earn their livelihood.
