Giveaways are mostly scams.
There is no free money. Even Airdrops costs you your personal data and social media tasks.

People could do much better with their time just ignoring those Airdrops and giveaways and focusing on their education

If someone is running a giveaway, they will only really need your address and maybe some contact information. Them asking for more than that is essentially a dead giveaway (pun intended) that they're scammers. It's honestly alarming how many people fall for stuff like this.

But yeah, other than that, it looks like Twitter hacks are starting to happen frequently. Does Twitter have security issues or are hackers just relentlessly targeting high-opportunity accounts like this one? Twitter should do something to address this either way.

Yes that's what I have been saying. There is really no need to worry if you are not completely retarded. There is no possible scenario where someone would ask for money to giveaway money, it's ridiculous.

Thanks for the heads up. People should really take great caution..there are so many scams out there. I can only imagine how many people got scammed with this nasty trick. Those scammers will get their dose of karma sooner or later I am sure.

There are many sites who posted that they will give away ethereum if you send them a small amount. There maybe some legit activities but the majority are just scams. So even if it comes from a legit twitter account we must not trust so easily since they maybe hacked or they are plotting to steal your coin and declare that they are hacked. So just be careful guys and it is much better not to join any of it to ensure security.

Vertcoin is a P2P cryptocurrency and software project. Earlier, this morning the official Twitter account Vertcoin conceded it is on an attempt to haul out a Bitcoin (BTC) Scam.
