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 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?

On the other hand anything is possible with some cryptos... Airdropping can sometimes (in the past) seem very generous.

Again, in order to promote or bootstrap the original coin. In this case someone from the outside (scammer) using 1 ETH in return for 10 ETH (same currency) doesn't quite fit an airdrop bill. Now IF it was from official (uncompromised) Verge, 1 ETH for X amount of XVG (different currency) would make more sense.
