Beware of the latest Twitter Cryptocurrency Scam!
Post by: @CryptoLanger
Hey guys. Yes unfortunately another scam to discuss. Twitter is swarmed by scams right now. Everyone (should) be aware of the scams where people make similar looking twitter accounts that mimic Crypto Influencers. They will often change a letter somewhere in the name and advertise they will give away free coins if you first send some coins to there address first. They then have fake accounts reply back saying wow thanks it really worked!
To avoid getting scammed; I wouldn't recommend sending ANYBODY any coins in hopes of getting more coins sent back to you. Also never give out your private key.
Now for the latest scam to be aware of:
VERIFIED FAKE ACCOUNTS.
REAL Justin Sun Twitter:
FAKE Justin Sun Twitter:
This is very scary because I can easily see people falling for this.
The top account, @Justinsuntron is real. The Latter photo of @Justnsunrion is fake.
How does a fake account get verified??
Hackers will hack an already existing Twitter account that is verified. On twitter your able to change your name easily. So once they hack a verified account they will try to change the name to something closely replicating a Crypto-influencers account. People will now unknowingly send their information, private keys, or coins to these twitter accounts because everybody trusts verified.
Stay cautious and be on alert. If it's too good to be true then avoid it.
