Jeez, seems like most of the major crypto handle has been compromised. How come they did it? Another big scam coming soon.

The strange thing is realy that people fall into this.
Not everyone falls for this. Whatever the case is, even from a verified source, we have common sense of verifying by ourselves while others just trust the words and when it comes from an authentic handle, they are sure as hell that they gonna get the amount.

Nothing in life that there is no risk taking, probably everyone should be careful when it comes to online transactions, verification and so on. Hackers ain't tried and they ain't sleeping with two eyes closed so it's best to not sleep with both eyes closed.

Yes you are right on that , and you should be checking always when doing the transactions 2 or 3 times before push the send button.

Holy sh*t, that's crazy. You can include Jeff Bezos, Apple, Gemini, Bitfinex, Cash App...

I can see a lot of people falling for those. Someone probably found a major security issue on Twitter. No way all of those people fell for a phishing scam, malware, or some other 'regular' stuff.

The moment I saw Elon Musk's twit, I knew there's something wrong already. Simple explanation, yeah it's not hard to believe that he can double the money you will give but why there's a sudden show of interest to btc Grin? Where in the first place he doesn't even show a strong support to it before.

But oh boy! This is quite alarming because they are not just a common Twitter accounts, they are popular and can be effectively use for scamming. I hope the authority will act fast since not everyone of us are aware of this news.

Ah, Twitter is at it again.. Smiley Same thing happened on YT - they somehow managed to get inside some verified channels and used them to create fake giveaways.

First and foremost, just remember nobody's giving you free money for nothing. If you see offers that are too good to be true, they really are so just don't bother with them. Giveaways don't ask you for money (unless there's an entry price).
