There are thousands of tweets and facebook posts promoting this scam right now, most of them posted during the last 30 minutes.

Can you please link one tweet here? It's very unlikely that we can do something though because none of the noobs will believe us. Still, it would better if you share a link of tweet. If it's getting noticed by any #hashtags, we may tweet using same hashtags to alert people.

I reported a large number of such tweets to Twitter. And it looks as if these accounts are suspended. One example here:

The reaction from a few users:

Edit: Now it looks as if the phishing site has been taken down. But sadly, before that the scammers were able to steal $11,000 worth of crypto.

Everyone can report it here: https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=en

They aren't getting any of their visitor from google and reporting there wouldn't bring any benefit I guess.

Only thing we can do now is reporting the website and the social media postings as scam

In facebook the reporting really works and if it was done by more than one person then they look at it with series manner. However lately the service is slow due to corona phenomenon. I have an ad account which I have created to advertise one of my business and the sent a notification that the ads will longer to approve because of not many people working in their office.

We really can not do much except reporting and creating awareness against this scams.

Someone please help. A lot of people are losing hard earned coins.

What do you think that we can do except for repeatedly advising them not to fall these scams. Most of those who fall for such scams are greedy idiots. Only thing we can do now is reporting the website and the social media postings as scam

In social media you will find the most noobs and it's sad to see they lose their hard earned money. Anyway, in this board you are not going to see much traffic except people will just comment. May be you can use the proper formatting and move this to the scam accusation board.

First the scammers set up a fake website and claimed that it is the official site of Elon Musk:

https://spacexbtc.site/

Then they bombarded the social media with promotions related to this scam.

They have a separate site, where the scam actually takes place:

https://spacexbtc.site/btc/index.html
https://spacexbtc.site/eth/index.html

There are thousands of tweets and facebook posts promoting this scam right now, most of them posted during the last 30 minutes.

We need to mass report and warn innocent users about this.

Noobs have already lost at least $2,500 worth of crypto:

Edit: Someone just lost $6,200 worth of BTC: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/47ac529236fdcbba7430dd533e3a3dc995701f32df6c6f75a30551b30e02787d
