These bastards are almost under every crypto tweet lately. If nobody was dumb enough to fall for this, they wouldn't be doing it.
They scammed somebody for 0.0595btc (~$600) btw.

Topic: Stay away from Fake Coinbase giveaway ! (Read 251 times)
You can find thousands of scams everyday on Twitter (binance giveaways, fake/scam groups on facebook, etc.) and I don't feel this topic is valid here as it was not posted on bitcointalk while on Twitter. If we were to report all of them, all these topics would occupy most of the threads of this board and plus this is not a scam accusation as the scammer is unknown. It's just a scam giveaway. Better to move it to off-topic.
Although this isn't new way to scam, but I want to remind it once again. Who know perhaps some greedy people's will fall in that trap.
Site is ugly, twitter screenshot is fake, transactions are all fake, block height that is being displayed is fake, double bonus for nothing
so I hardly think there will be anyone who would fall for this given the amount of btc they are asking for registration. Some might have fallen if they had asked like 0.001 or 0.002.

They have created a script for send bitcoin to prove ownership of address. You have to send 0.05BTC and obviously you are going to lost it forever.
