Please be vigilant so that you will not be a victim of these social media scams
1. Social Media Giveaway Scams
It’s amazing, nowadays, how everyone seems so generous on the likes of Twitter and Facebook. Check the replies to a tweet with high engagement, and you’ll no doubt see that one of your favorite crypto companies or influencers is doing a giveaway.
