Cryptocoin Scammers Use New Twitter Design to Scam People

1 pointsby ilikenwfalmost 6 years ago
It seems that the new twitter redesign is confusing people enough, or makes these fake accounts look real enough in their replies that they are able to collect coins from unwitting users.<p>John McAffee, Elon Musk, Coinbase, and probably others are being hit, and the sites appear to all be hosted in Russia.<p>An example scam tweet: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;Allison63138861&#x2F;status&#x2F;1153736743595708416<p>One site example is here: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;coinbasegift.com&#x2F;<p>So far nobody seems to be doing anything about it.
