we are not doing a rollback and we are preparing a fork to patch this up.

Sorry to mess up this thread and topic a bit, but after i do not get for hours an answer on twitter, neither does the email function on the Verge homepage work, nor does someone respond on the Verge Bitcoin thread i have to try my luck here.

I visited some hours ago the official Verge Twitter profil to read the news about the hash hack. While reading the tweed i noticed several messages offering a compensation for the attack by Verge. Send x Eth and you get some bonus back. Sounded legit to me as it was affilated to the hash attack and i suffered from it as well having had some hours only orphaned blocks on all my baikals, hence i fall victim to this damn scam on the official twitter page.

Now, while i have myself for sure some vault for this i'am seriously angry about how on the official verge twitter page 100s of scams and fake messages that say they got the ETH back are tolerated and nobody cares about it?!?! How is this possible. After i realized i got scammed i even made a post in this tweet that its a scam and to remove it asap, nothing happened and people still fall after that scam. Only on that scam by now 12+ Eth have been transfered the last hours. .

Damn, i'am not a twitter guy and very rarely use it, but from an official Verge twitter profil i personal await its clean and at very least if this for some reason is not possible that there are warning messages about these scams!!!! But no, nothing, the whole official Verge Twitter profil is FULL of scams that are tolerated and people like me, fall victims to it. Fine, i lost some 1.8 ETH, but hourly these scams seems to collect a huge amount of ETH that way and nobody there at Verge cares?

Seriously, so far i wondered about the twitter decision to ban crypto, but i begin to understand the decision. They must get shitload of complains from victims like me.....

And what makes me even more angry ... no response:
- Messaged some hours ago verge on twitter .... nothing, scams are staying and getting more and more
- Put a tweet on the Verge tweet to remove the scams .... nothing, scams are just staying there
- posted in the official bitcointalk Verge thread, nothing ......
- tried to email Verge about the ongoing scams .... email function on the homepage isn't even working, it just loads forever. And after 5 attempts to load it still loads after 2 hours, lol.

I'am writting this as a XVG miner and lover, but this all makes me really sad and angry .....

Sorry to say, but this has been a huge problem for some time. Bots post on every single crypto profile with the same exact scam, people probably ignored you because they thought you were joking about it, since people literally joke about getting ripped off by these scammers,,, because we have seen it literally every post for months. Im very sorry for your loss sir, but you cant go placeing blame on others

I'am well aware of my own vault and in my 25 years internet career its the first time i got scammed. (Seems its never too late, lol).
BUT, i see the vault has well partly at others. For example why is there no delete button for the profil owner/user to delete such scam messages. This, in my opinon, opens just all doors for such scams. Second, if a given person/company is aware of such nonstop scam activity, the very least they can do is to set a huge warning banner/message above all other things.

And again, i would have been fully on alert if this was any random side/forum/advert/whatever, but being on a well known official company profil/site took my guard down, hence why i ask for warning messages/banner to prevent others to fall into such scam trap and lose their money. 1.8 ETH i lost, ok, not that much, but not a bit either, but there are people that send even a lot more. The least
