Today on Twitter, Matthew Hyland followed me. I was shocked👇
The only thing is, for some reason, it now has ‘_X’ at the end 😂 Otherwise, the accounts are completely identical, see for yourself:
The difference in name is minor, but there is a difference in the number of followers.
Last time I showed you that fake accounts can even have more followers than the real account and might have a blue checkmark. So be vigilant!
Why fake accounts are needed:
- distribution of fake links
- distribution of real, but promotional/referral links
- deception, fraud
- advertising something
- indicating your own website and stealing clients
These are just some options.
How to check
- official project websites often provide links to real social media accounts
- on Binance, the official website and social media accounts are indicated in the token information section.
If you are reading a certain account and are used to its appearance, you can easily miss a fake and automatically click on some link. That's what it's designed for. Therefore, if you plan to click on a link in social media, check (really every time) if the account is real.
Stay safe 🤗
