PSA: Twitter scammers replying promising to give away coins
« on: April 05, 2018, 03:27:14 PM »
PSA: It comes to our attention that some Twitter scam are going on right now.

Some scammers are replying to our twitts promising to give away coins if you send some coins to their address.

Their post looks like it's come from our Twitter account. Don't fall victim to this scam. We are not giving away anything! Be careful!

Are there people in the 21st century who are being led to this stupid scam? It’s not enough that you yourself pay for participation in an unlikely lottery for big money (which is not profitable because of roi), you do it also in the company where the winnings are not paid.

Unfortunately, cryptocurrency really attracts a large number of scammers. In addition, many people do not try to take care of their safety and this only helps to increase the number of such cases. Therefore, I always try to be careful and check resources.

Just don't even click the link you're not aware of the website. But if you insist, check the profile, who's tufalda84 btw with just one tweet. Glad that BitcoinForm acted immediately

Now there are a lot of fake exchanges, exchangers, wallets, applications.  Here you need to be extremely careful and attentive.

As long as you only provide your Twitter username on giveaways like this I think it is safe. If you're asked to deposit crypto to a certain account or even click a link that could lead to a phishing site, stay away from that promo.

This still exists even its 2020, lol! But it wasn't Twitter, on my part was through Telegram. Messaging me in a friendly tone and offered me like sending BTC to my address but he said I need to pay the fees first or something. I blocked him instantly. Awareness is the key. We shouldn't fall as a victim.

Nobody won't give you money for free. Maybe only airdrops when you do something to get coins.
