Not only are the scammers doing the fake accounts that say "send .02 BTC and get triple" but apparently now they are either buying verified accounts or hacking them and changing the names and pictures to cryptocurrency people. Now it can actually be hard to tell if someone is scamming.

Really shitty that this is happening. Be careful everyone
1) Those offers regarding doubling or tripling the money are always fake. This is also done on a large scale in Facebook groups and I think they might be able to find some innocent people falling for this. This is one of the worst ways to make money as the person is scamming.
2) Regarding hacking the Twitter accounts and changing names to crypto, this is also for money. There are so many legal ways to make money and it really makes me feel sorry for people going to such low levels to earn their livelihood.
