Look, i'am well aware of all kind of scams, at least i thought so.

However, maybe my problem here is that i'am not a twitter guy and only once or twice per week read some twitter tweet, nothing else, so absolutly unexperienced in twitter.

BUT, in an official Verge Tweet with about 80 replies and 40 of them either scams or fake accounts that say they got the ETH back seems just wrong to me.
If this was someone else profil, ok, if it was at a whole fake Verge twitter account, ok, but having 50% fake and scam messages on an official VERGE announcement is not right.
An official Twitter profil has to be clean, easy as that!!!

And here now i absolutly begin to realize why twitter is banning crypto things. They must get shitloads of complaints. I got a victim as an very experienced internet user, whats
left for the the guy that has not much of an idea.

Meanwhile that scam account on that Verge twitter account has made aboout 10 Eth so far and Eths are continue to roll in, nothing that i allready posted there that someone should
remove these scams.

I get what you're saying, but the same thing is happening on a lot of other coins Twitter accounts. Impersonating the official accounts - most definitely make sure you read the @NAME - often times it'll be one letter off or some shit.

Sorry you fell for it... sadly, I'm sure you won't be the last person to do so. We've all done stupid shit here and there - but hopefully learn from it. Sometimes, unfortunately, it's an expensive education.

I've sold my stash thanks to the last pump. Now waiting patiently for the price to take a dive so I can get back. I heard there's a major partnership announcement coming in the next 2 weeks. I like how the verge team goes about the project. It's delightful to be on this train

I dont use twitter.   i didnt like how the format worked.

   I like forums better... 

Discord is ok, but its a bit ...fast paced.

can someone post a valid discord invite?

I indeed thought there is. Actually after even trying to report all these scam i noticed that there is even No report function for scams. You can report every shit, but not scams, amazing. (or i just was not able to find such).

Filled an complaint to the FBI Internet Crime Complain Center (IC3) @ https://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx/ which was actually easy to go through and submit. I can only advice other victims of internet scams to do the same. If indeed all coins are somehow victims, be it only for reputation, on twitter and these 1000s of scam messages than it would make some sense if the coins themself fill in such complaint, not?

There is 0 action by Twitter.com. In over 6 hours i even was not able to get to some human support ....

i was on discord wayyy to long today. (instead of working)

now im on there at home..sigh.


oh and i still have dogecoindark.exe installed on my desktop at home..

it is strongly recommend change algoes, kick off all ASIC

I don't get it though - how do people get into Crypto AND make a profit or survive if they don't even understand the basics of economics, trading, and perhaps common sense? The scam says you'll immediately receive 10x if you send them 1x. How in the world, would they not be insolvent at that rate? Maybe it's due to the supporting scammers who claim "yes, it works, I sent x and received 10x!"? Common sense folks.

Now if the scammer changed the language a bit: "Send me 1x now and 10 days later you receive 10x coins back", it completely changes the deal, but even then I'd only do this if it was in support of the original project and I'm pretty sure Verge would not promote another currency for this for obvious reasons.

Oh well, live and learn I guess?
