- cvaidya1986 9y agoThis needs to be more well-known. People fall for this all the time.
- jessaustin 9y agoThanks for pointing out the "h" and "p"! This is so lame; it's kind of like the fake IRS agents who called basically everyone in my family over the last month.
- shady-lady 9y agonot surprising that there are even more of these fake look-a-like a/cs: brianlacton (l) brianmacton (m) brianzacton (z) Is it really that hard for Twitter to detect a fake look-a-like a/c given that: a) the display name is the same for all fakes b) they all have limited posts, all posting the same link c) the bad actors do seem to be making ever so slight changes to (full square) profile pics in an avoidance attempt- ref https://imgur.com/a/QruDm https://imgur.com/a/QruDm ?? I've personally clicked report scam on the initial a/cs I listed along with all the fake a/c's that liked/replied duplicitously.
