Thanks to you for this information. I saw this not long ago but I had that feelings of not going any further and immediately I got distracted while still contemplating on it.
Come to talk of this xcoin if a thing, I remembered years ago many scam projects with the name xcoin scammed many people of their hard earned resources through contract call which I was also a victim of as the thought of lossing out as a new beginner was just hanging on my mind. I took part in it and after a while their twitter account and telegram chat group got deleted. There I knew I had made a big mistake getting myself involved in shitcoin. They rugpulled and many lost funds.

It was expected that scammers would try to take advantage of the fact that Twitter is rebranding into X. It worked well in the past with all those fake Elon Musk crypto giveaways. I am sure these fake X token scams will be successful also. Greed is greater than logic, and unknowledgeable plebs will get hooked to this like crazy thinking Elon is throwing away money.
They have thousands of followers already, so even if they got a quarter of those followers to invest,
these people will get a good amount of money. Scammers will have a feast because of this twitter rebranding.
Remember, there are also too many gullible people out there trying to make a quick profit from this market.
Expect that not only this project will take advantage of this situation, but there will be more fake X-related coins or tokens that will be launched.
just want to add that here are some more accounts that posted the same project.

It is logical to use that platform for its promotion. I guess the scammers did make money, the naive investors are just going to send some amount thinking they are the first to invest.
The account wasn't blocked still, if it ain't blocked people will think this is really real so where is the censoring team when it's very much needed?
Even if it's an obvious scam, if the investors see the token is listed on the exchange and there is volume, a lot of investors are actually going to join in. We've seen this happen in the past.

I thought the scammers got access to X.com but it seems to be a scam as it often happens but they are quick to choose the name.
They pumped the price of scam and suddenly everyone seemed happy that they made profits, but suddenly when they want to sell they can't.
Therefore, I do not advise anyone to invest in an unknown currency or in a trend because it is often a scam.

This http://xtoken.vip/ site is the the fake one and they are using the popularity of X now, and the legit one is this - x.com
edit:
Just to share the some details of this site =
https://www.whois.com/whois/x.com
It says from the news that X.com is owned by X Corp and that is the legal name of twitter when Elon acquired it.
Seems that X.com is the legit domain owned by Musk. And they just revive it when they formally changed the name of twitter to X. Let's see how this will develop.
Twitter is now X. Here's what that means.

Scammers using X.com because it's easy for trapping investors who didn't invest in cryptocurrency 14 years ago. They'll take famous stories like Twitter becoming X to make presale tokens. Investors shouldn't trust everything they're reading. Investors want wealth so they'll trust scammers because FOMO.
Since this is a hot trend in the market at the moment, it was predicted that scammers would try to exploit this trend. If you keep an eye on various social media including Twitter, you will see these scams coming up almost constantly in the coming days. Because there are some crypto investors who invest in such scams hoping for quick profits, but end up losing their funds and exiting the market. So crypto investors need to be more careful and protect themselves from such scams. July 27, 2023, 02:03:01 PM
Just astonished to see these huge number of followers from a fake project. This makes more difficult to find out real one and many of new comers trust these because they looks like real. Anyway fake Followers can be increased or bought easily even I saw some fake twitter promoting airdrops with blue verified badge as it's easy to buy and can attract newbies to be scammed.
This one should be a warning to newbies and never fall in these types of trap. If you see something suspicious from an official account you must verify it if there something compromised or not. Anyway good catch OP

High time that people are made aware of these scams, Twitter changing their design is definitely a feast for scammers and I don't know what to expect from this wave of X related scams but I do hope that we see less people falling for these incoming scams, I'm not placing my hopes that no one will fall for this because there's definitely someone out there stupid enough to fall for them.
