It is so easy for them to scam people out of a lot of money, in part because these scam accounts are now verified accounts on Twitter. Another $250K lost to scammers. What is stopping these scammers from just creating a new scam every fucking day if people are so gullable?! submitted by /u/Beyonderr [link] [comments]
