Be careful, there is a fake Kraken twitter account. The UI is very similar and even the tweets are exact replicate. But you look at the spelling, it's obvious that this is clone site using homographic attack vector (typo squatting).

That is the reason Twitter adds a blue verified tick to big account for its users to identify fake and real account. This is something everyone should know. It is better to report fake accounts so that Twitter removes it .
Thanks for the heads up.
Yes. That's a fake account. That's why we must recheck each social media of any exchanges through their sites. It is very important to avoid fake accounts like this case. For example, kraken exchange. Kindly go to https://www.kraken.com/ to ensure it is true or not. Then, see their social media channels there, on the bottom of the web page.

Why don't we all take one for the community by reporting this fake account and hopefully it gets taken down?
The whole reporting process takes less than a minute
1. Head over to this link - https://twitter.com/i/report/user/1199818688481890304
2. Select "They are pretending to be me or someone else"
3. Then select option 4, "Someone else"
4. Under Username type in or copy and paste "@krakenfx"
Under Full Name type in "Kraken Exchange" and then Hit the Report to Twitter button
This is indeed helpful, I already reported it.The whole reporting process takes less than a minute

4. Under Username type in or copy and paste "@krakenfx"
Under Full Name type in "Kraken Exchange" and then Hit the Report to Twitter button
A few more reports for sure this fake twitter account will be removed by the Twitter team. Unless Kraken Exchange itself already notified about this fake twitter account and they will immediately contact Twitter to report the fake Twitter account, it's much powerful.
But still, a community still important here, need more report for this fake twitter account.
Let's go!

Done, I hope they get banned
Impersonating others to scam (which is probably what they're doing) is dirty and wrong

I don't understand the point of this fake twitter. It's pretty obvious it's not the real kraken exchange for some reasons:
- No blue verified tag next to name
- All tweets that they post have @kakenfx which is very noticeable
- They only have 1 follower
- They joined on November 2019
Hope no one actually falls for this lol

I guess its obvious since we could identify the real account if it has the blue check and also the followers.
Maybe we could just report the other account of pretending to be someone else so that the account will be block or deleted on Twitter. The fake account is trying hard
