It’s not strictly limited to crypto. There have been fraudsters & scammers everywhere since money was used as a means of payment. We can go back hundreds of years & read about thieves etc. There have been sophisticated scammers at large since the internet was invented & even before that. Just be smart, if something seems too good to be true then it almost certainly is. There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

bro it's an insane thing, imagine you follow some official tokens/protocol, etc and you see them tweet a giveaway, most people will give in already and they don't realize yet, that their account got hacked with Simswap or something.
The bottom line for that thing was to not be greedy, if it's too good to be true then maybe it is too good to be true.

A few days ago, I saw a KOL with a large number of fans on Twitter. He was recommending a project recommended by many KOLs. As long as he followed his guidelines, he could get more airdrop tokens. As a result, when I clicked on the link, connect When my little fox wallet is signed and confirmed, my assets will be reset to zero. I checked the data on the chain, and in a short period of time, he actually defrauded more than 20,000 US dollars in digital currency, which is terrible.
Not only in tweeter my friend but also in a different social media sites,there are a lot of scammer even in telegram scammer will add you to thier telegram group with an airdrop and and if you connect your wallet to that link you will loss all the asset of your wallet, that is why you need to separate or make a new wallet every now and then separate it to the wallet that has an asset, because one wrong move your asset will be loss. We need to be careful scammers are smart and they are very good on scamming. June 26, 2023, 01:43:37 AM

Elon being the new owner of Twitter is trying hard to fight against all this. So the situation will improve in future.

Never click a link without thinking. Google it first if necessary. It's sad to hear that there are a lot of people who do these things and how I wish they will just be gone. It's unfair to those who are working their ass to save money and invest it and then just be stolen by those thugs that think they are above the law.

This is difficult for some people, especially for those people who are just new in the space of cryptocurrency.(.....)
And for sure most of the victims of these scams are newbies maybe 90% - 100% of victims are newbies.
Even though these social media platforms continue to fight these kinds of scams still, scammers will always find ways. People must always learn first before doing anything that involves their money.

Yes, it is true that there are many scams on twitter that attempt to steal digital assets and personal information from users. These scams can take many different forms including phishing attacks, fake giveaways and fraudulent investment schemes. Phishing attacks are one of the most common types of scams on Twitter. These attacks typically involve a hacker posing as a legitimate entity, such as a well known company or celebrity, and sending messages to users asking for their personal information or login credentials. Once the hacker has this information, the can use it to steal the user's digital assets or commit other forms of identity theft. Fake giveaways are another common type of scam on twitter. These scams typically involve a user or company offering a prize or reward in exchange for the users personal information or digital assets. Once the user has provided this information, the scammer disappears and the user is left with nothing. Finally, fraudulent investment schemes are also known on twitter. These schemes typically involve as user or company promising high returns on investments in crypto currencies or other digital assets. These promises are usually too good to be true, and the user ends up losing their money.

This is really very unfortunate. I don't know what to say. Sometimes we are deceived by scammers on Twitter. What Influencers have done is because they have been paid. Sometimes they don't really understand about it. But my advice is never link your wallet with layer-2 if you are not sure about it. I've never wanted to link my wallet to get a few dollars from Airdrops.

I guess every country now should increase their security in this matter and then social media outlets should also increase their monitoring workers that would delete those links that you experienced.
My Twitter is kind of a big problem for me too, I don't know why but there are so many unknown people who just keep on popping out my notifications. Twitter badly needs some fixing.

I usually avoid participating in airdrop projects that necessitate wallet connection due to the inherent risk involved. Connecting one's wallet to unfamiliar projects can be highly perilous as their intentions are often unknown. When considering joining an airdrop, it is advisable to solely rely on official channels. It is unwise to trust arbitrary tweets from unknown individuals, as doing so can potentially result in wallet hacking. If still wants to join random airdrops use the new wallet.

Nahh, just don't click on random links especially on twitter. Last month my friend has lost their asset because she clicked on random link on social media.
So, just click on links from people you 100 percent trust, and even so, try typing the link out and doing research to see if it is reliable or not.

Absolutely, it's crucial to be cautious and protect yourself from scams on Twitter. There are scammers who try to steal your assets by sharing illegal links. They may pose as popular individuals or projects, promising airdrops or investment opportunities. If you click on these links and give them your wallet information, your assets can be stolen. To stay safe, remember to be careful, verify sources, double-check URLs, and avoid sharing personal information. Stick to official channels and use secure wallets to safeguard your assets.
It is an existing concern for most but the problem is that people are still careless when dealing with links sends to them. They just click it and later they realized that they got caught with the bait. See how scammers take their chance and become their victims and this is because we are focused on what we have read (earnings/money) rather than thinking about what will happen next. That is why regrets never happen first but late - and so whatever we do, this won't change the reality, scams continue. June 08, 2023, 10:44:58 PM

But why should you need to join airdrops when all of those are scam, worthless nowadays. potential airdrops are available but rarely. But Twitter, telegram and others platforms are used to fraud with people, in most of the cases. As a result, you are a example that what can happened. Although Anyone can join if wish but DYOR. But it is advised never connect with their website or sending fund to have eligible for that airdrop or you'll lost everything
Since airdrop was unpredictable and anyone was increasing their chance to get it for free by participating in the various airdrop at this moments. They are having very strong reason why they shall have joined in so many airdrops. If you can't play with quality and you must play with quantity.

Eversince, such scheme has been existing in this indusstry and even outside. People keep faalling for suspiscious links with desire of earning free money by jist clicking. First of all, there's no such thing. We are all tired of hearing stories on how they became a vicitim wherein they're the ones who pushed through. This will continue as long as there are people being unrealistic of how investments should be done.
Hence, don't easily bite what they're offering and always take time to verify if it's reliable. Scammers are everywhere so if you don't want to end up becoming a victim then DYOR and don't be easily attracted in airdrops.
From being in years in this industry but not to brag, I haven't had any experience falling for untrusted websites. It is not because i'm smart or what not but because I am learning from others who made the mistake. Also with the idea that if by clicking I'd eaarn, why are not all people in this industry rich?

Don't trust anyone and don't connect your wallet easily (especially if you have funds in it) just because you want to get some airdrop tokens. If this KOL is posting links to scam others, there's also a chance the account is hacked and was used by scammers to attract the people.Hence, don't easily bite what they're offering and always take time to verify if it's reliable. Scammers are everywhere so if you don't want to end up becoming a victim then DYOR and don't be easily attracted in airdrops.

Now many accounts on twitter with blue ticks offer promising projects that is a trap because we don't always trust blue tick accounts basically they always cheat by providing links that lead to phishing sites, so it's no wonder there are many ways for them to cheat many people in other ways, including DMs from Twitter and also messages from Gmail, so many people came offering prizes or winning prizes, which obviously we have to be able to verify properly.
yes it's happening now, accounts with blue ticks get noticed by many people, even though that won't guarantee they're genuine or just scammers. Twitter blue ticks can be bought by anyone and why do they scammers have a lot of followers, it's because they are using twitter with a lot of followers from the start or buying and changing all the information according to the project they are going to promote as a trap. we have to be careful and not fall into their trap.Accounts with blue ticks or not, I don't really trust anything in twitter. That platform has always been the home for the scammers, shillers, and hypers of shitcoins and this has been something that many people using that platform didn't notice. I don't know how many more people are going to get victimized by this kind fraud or tricks to steal from mediocre investors. Isn't buying that blue tick is not much expensive? or is it? coz I don't know it I'm not using the Twitter anyway. That's basically buying your way to get more people to believe you and scam them on the latter.

When engaging in online campaigns or following KOL recommendations, it's critical to always proceed with care. Remember that reputable projects and airdrops will never need your private wallet details or cash transfer in order to obtain tokens. Change your passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and periodically check your accounts for any unusual behavior to further safeguard your digital assets.

Leaving all "I am Elon Musk I am distributing money to everyone!" obvious scams (at which point they made half a million dollars before people got wise), I could easily say that it is not going to stop because they are getting better and better at hiding it.
You know which scams are the worst? The ones that are like a company, you may not fall for a person trying to trick you, but if they build a company with great SEO and amazing marketing and even tv ads etc etc, if you start seeing them everywhere, you will think that it is just another project, and maybe you won't invest into another new project that's normal, but there will be a lot of people who fall for it, whereas they will be just another scam, they call it "rugpull" instead.
Such an elaborate scam has way more chances to get people interested in it, but it is precisely that exposure what will allow some people to identify it is a scam at an early stage, but what happens is that a great deal of people would have invested in that project already and as such they are committed to its success.You know which scams are the worst?

So they begin to attack those which expose the truth in an attempt to silence them and keep the project going, and once the project is revealed to be a scam anyway not only they will lose their money but a great deal of credibility as well as they defended a project which was clearly a scam.
