Hi boys, I was sitting at my hotel in NY today (6.29.2018) and I just saw a fake giveaway announcement on Twitter and I was wondering, why people are sending their cryptocurrency to these offers? Anyway, the best that I can do – is help the next person to not become the next person which got scammed by those fake giveaways on Twitter and which are spread all over the place like donuts in the average american morning.

What this scammers are doing? they are waiting for the perfect moment to place their URL with their fake giveaway and hope to catch innocent people in order to deposit their funds to their BTC / ETH wallets .

During my research – I clicked on the BTC link to check whats going on , and this is what I have found:

I was very curious to see if people are really following blindly this offer so I decided to check the wallet address of the scammer. And this is what I have found there;

0.15 BTC, Current value – 895$.

So – it looks like the scammer made 895$ with this “gig”.

How you can avoid being scammed by fake giveaways?

Never believe to giveaways. If you decided to believe – make sure to check that it is the real Twitter account who offer the giveaway. the blue badge on Twitter can clarify that the account is original. but you should check the account username because sometimes, accounts with blue badges getting hacked.
