⚠️ Cybercriminals are exploiting fake accounts with paid blue checks to scam users.
🔍 Learn how to recognize and protect yourself from these sophisticated tricks.
🚫 Fake Account 🕵️♂️
• In the picture is a fake account with a blue check (X Premium) — don't be fooled!
• This is a common tactic to impersonate Binance or reputable organizations to scam and spread malicious links.
🔵 Blue Check:
• Anyone can buy it for just $8/month, just need a phone number – no identity verification required.
• Scammers use the blue check to create false trust and deceive gullible people.
✅ Official Account of Binance ✅
• Real accounts will have a gold check and the Binance partner logo.
🟡 Gold Check:
• Issued by platform X (Twitter) to legitimate organizations after a strict verification process.
• This is a clear authentication signal that cannot be purchased like a regular blue check.
🔶 Binance Partner Logo:
• It is a symbol reserved exclusively for official partners, confirming a legal relationship with Binance.
❗ Why is this happening with the blue check?
• Since 2022, Elon Musk has allowed anyone to buy a blue check, leading many scammers to exploit this to impersonate major brands.
• Due to loose moderation policies, many scam accounts are not removed in time, making users vulnerable.
🚨 Important Notice:
• Don't be quick to trust the blue check!
• Always carefully check profiles, authentication signs (gold check, partner logo) before interacting or clicking on links.
