Free Ethereum spam bots are ravaging Twitter

Agreed, it&#x27;s getting absurd. Practically every post from an official cryptocurrency team&#x27;s Twitter account gets numerous replies from an account designed to look just like the official account.<p>Typically, they post a poster stating that there is an Ethereum giveaway, and to enter: one simply needs to give a small amount of Ethereum to the wallet address in the poster. This is supposedly to have the wallet address made known to the &quot;staff&quot; and in turn: the user will receive several times more Ethereum back.<p>It&#x27;s clearly still roping in people and is highly prevelant. I&#x27;m shocked that Twitter&#x27;s staff hasn&#x27;t taken much evasive action. These spam&#x2F;scam accounts keep springing up left, and right with no end in sight.

When I see one of these I often report it (just one more finger in the dike) -- but Twitter&#x27;s report options only include &quot;spam&quot; and &quot;abusive&#x2F;harmful&quot;; I&#x27;m not sure what&#x27;s the closest option for fraud and impersonation.

You know there&#x27;s a problem when any prominent crypto figure has to put &quot;not giving away free Eth&quot; in their twitter name to help combat the spam.

This even happens with verified accounts. Fun fact: we got banned after reporting with no human support to help us. We suspect the spammers targeted our account with multiple false reports <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hackernoon.com&#x2F;apc-nigerias-verified-twitter-account-is-scamming-people-with-cryptocurrency-2a7cdb804c0a" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hackernoon.com&#x2F;apc-nigerias-verified-twitter-account...</a>

The simplest solution would be to hire 2 interns familiar with crypto twitter to sit down and manually ban the fake replies full-time for a couple of months. Would that really be so costly&#x2F;difficult?

Every post by a prominent figure such as Elon Musk, Pavel Durov and many others are immediately spammed to hell by copycat accounts pushing these scams. I&#x27;ve spent a good amount of time reporting them to no avail. Twitter just doesn&#x27;t care.

Sorry, it&#x27;s not clear to me, what exactly is the con that these bots are running?

Larger points notwithstanding, verification is not suspended, for eg <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;emma4change" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;emma4change</a> joined after Aug 2017 and is verified.

Explain to me as someone not into cryptocurrencies, why ethereum specifically?

Wouldn’t this be super easy to filter out with some kind of ML scheme?
