⚠️ Elon Musk Scam DONT FALL FOR IT!

in #crypto6 years ago

If you click on Elon Musk most recent tweet you will see something like this...

⚠️DO NOT SEND ETH

Where it looks like if you send him 0.5 to 1 ETH quick enough that he will send you 5 to 10 ETH back.

Alright that already seems a little setchy but then you look below and you have other profiles saying OMG he really sent it in 5 minutes etc. But then you view those profiles and you will see they are all brand new accounts.

This seems to be blowing up and perhaps turning into one serious scam quickly.

Just look at the usernames on the twitter account they are two different ones as one has an extra l in it.

You wont notice it at first but this is why you need to educate yourself as scams like this will continue to happen.

These scammer are getting craftier by the day. Are some people rally gullible enough to send their ETH to this scammer?

I would suspect yes, only one to blame is yourself though. Thing with ETH and any crypto once it is sent you can't get it back. So these types of quick act fast things prevent people from thinking to much and take action quickly or "miss out"

Seems like people do - https://etherscan.io/address/0xd585209338fdc9eaa15ec3a2b7ec589fc99b9c5d

About 8 ETH so far I can see to the account so far which would be about $7,000 scam

Haha, scammers are coming up with stupid crap like these all the time. Always gotta be on the alert or, best of all, just HODL your crypto and don't do anything at all but dolar cost avergaing buys until 2020 at least! regards

Its crazy lol but some of them are pulled off rather smartly. I see now they are even doing it to Donald Trump

Thanks for revealing this, an very sure a lot of people would have for for it

I admit I almost did lol but when people just give away millions in free money it makes me investigate it a bit more ;)

There's no such thing as a free lunch!

Nice job on letting people know about that! I feel like so many people would just see Elon's name and decide to click and go through without thinking twice. Scammers like this make me so upset :(.

Me as well you gotta really be the low of the low lifes to do stuff like this

Nice catch! What gave it away? The old "too good to be true" rule? Or the fact that the name Elon Musk was associated with such a tweet?
