I get what you're saying, but the same thing is happening on a lot of other coins Twitter accounts. Impersonating the official accounts - most definitely make sure you read the @NAME - often times it'll be one letter off or some shit.
Sorry you fell for it... sadly, I'm sure you won't be the last person to do so. We've all done stupid shit here and there - but hopefully learn from it. Sometimes, unfortunately, it's an expensive education.

I'am not a twitter guy, no idea about other coins. I mine XVG with all my baikals for months, hence the reason this twitter message was of interest for me. I learned my lesson the hard way. But than again. An official webpage, twitter profil should not be like that either way. From official sites/profils someone should await that they are as clean as possible.
And thinking more and more about it, i honestly understand now twitters stance on crypto, while bevor i have fallen victim to such scam i just wondered what stupid move from twitter this is to ban crypto. Makes total sense now.
Anybody ever filled some complaint on the FBI Internet Crime Complain Center (IC3) site? Seriously, i won't let go this away just like that.
if you thought we have the ability to delete those scam tweets, we do not. we can only report them and block them, but everyone else can still see them. it is happening to all major coins right now. we're hoping twitter adds some sort of human verification.
I indeed thought there is. Actually after even trying to report all these scam i noticed that there is even No report function for scams. You can report every shit, but not scams, amazing. (or i just was not able to find such).
Filled an complaint to the FBI Internet Crime Complain Center (IC3) @ https://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx/ which was actually easy to go through and submit. I can only advice other victims of internet scams to do the same. If indeed all coins are somehow victims, be it only for reputation, on twitter and these 1000s of scam messages than it would make some sense if the coins themself fill in such complaint, not?
There is 0 action by Twitter.com. In over 6 hours i even was not able to get to some human support ....
we had wrote the owner a few weeks ago. nothing yet.
