🚩What’s wrong with this tweet?
Let’s talk about the three things I noticed right away. (I’m sure there are more)
🔎 Way more comments than likes (not a great metric but definitely not normal for a real tweet)
🚩Random Linktree / Random Link
🚩Sense of Urgency (“18 hours”)
Alright weird, let’s take a look at the account…
🔎 Kinda odd that they have 50k+ Followers and I don’t follow any of them
Let’s keep digging
From a quick stroll what can we gather?
What I noticed when looking at these tweets 🔎
🚩 Seems like all old tweets are retweets
🚩 The account they retweeted wasn’t their “own account” it was from @TheSaudisNFT <— The Legit Twitter Handle Btw
Conclusions/
🔎 This was an obvious example of a fake account
🔎 Fake impersonator accounts tends to only have a few tweets of their own and the rest of their “tweets” are retweets from the real account they are impersonating
Real Account: @TheSaudisNFT
