Most Popular and Annoying Crypto Twitter Scams Which Everybody Should Know

Posted on mei 30, 2018 by Blockchain News

Twitter has been helpful for the crypto industry; however, the number of scams on it is starting to become ridiculous. From the impersonations of famous people to fake ICOs being promoted, it is all sounding strange. There are also various crypto offers which are too good to be true. The crypto world in Twitter is beginning to be as fake as Santa Claus.

Crypto enthusiasts are psychologically affected by many scams on Twitter. Mostly due to FOMO which is the fear of missing out! Bitcoins and Ethereum in exchange for a certain number of cryptocurrency are starting to become quite common.

Even the blue check mark on Twitter cannot help a person clarify if the person is the original “John McAfee” or even “Charlie Lee.”

A cryptocurrency advocate by the name of Thomas ‘Mad Bitcoins’ Hunt gave sound advice to Twitter. He tweeted-

Dear @Twitter (@Jack)

Your system is broken. Allowing users to choose the same name and image as other users is a mistake that leads to fraud.

Change your system. End this fraud. Thank you. #bitcoin pic.twitter.com/wTYRffVbap
