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
We are surrounded by scammers and they usually take advantage on newbies. Its sad to see that people use social media to fool others. I hope they realize their mistakes because it will be really hard to the one who has been scammed. It will be difficult for her/him to invest again because of this kind of situation.
