I'm ashamed to admit the first one of these I saw ('Musk' celebrating a launch last year) I was totally credulous of and forwarded it on to a couple of ETH-owning friends who quickly put me in my place (..and subsequently disavowed friendship :)..). I spent the next 24 hours on ETH-tracking sites watching as these bastards raked in nearly $80,000, from that one scam alone.
In my defence, I don't use Twitter much, and I mistook the value of ETH 'Musk' was asking for at around $20 rather than $200+ - had it been my own money, I would've been far more eagle-eyed and cautious.
Still, I was amazed/horrified at the gall and success of these people.
I never cease to be surprised at how unremorsefully sociopathic some people can be when it comes to getting their hands on other people's money.
