Ethereum (available on Coinbase) (ETH) – We’ve all seen it, the pinned posts from most cryptocurrency leaders on Twitter stating that they “are not giving away or accepting digital assets.” Mostly, it revolves around the world’s second largest cryptocurrency Ethereum (available on Coinbase) [ETH], but it has made its way to other digital tokens as well.

As a public announcement, I will never ask you to send me ETHer, ADA or any other asset. These are scams and if you fall for them, then you will lose your money. Please use commonsense and critical thinking!

It seems that the social media platform has yet to get a hold of their bot situation and it has been going on for months. Not sure what it would take to get this handled, but more safety features and stricter rules on accounts being made could help.

Jack Dorsey, Twitter’s CEO, responded to a complaint of fake accounts a few months ago via Twitter and said:

We are on it.
