After Worldcoin's launch, posts from fake accounts rose, imitating the real deal. Despite the chaos, Twitter didn't skip a beat suspending many of them.
Several fake accounts on Twitter — currently rebranding to X — were pushing malicious links to users following the launch of the Worldcoin human identity verification token.
July 24 marked Twitter’s rebrand to the letter"X” as well as the launch of the Worldcoin token. Though the change in brand has had mixed reactions online, the social media platform has not changed its policy of purchasing or applying to display differently colored check marks based on the type of account — a policy that went into effect in December 2022 while Elon Musk was CEO.
Since launching its Twitter account in August 2009 and later receiving a gold check mark for a business, Worldcoin has seen a number of impersonators arise. Though dozens, if not hundreds, of fake Twitter accounts bear Worldcoin’s logo and variations of its name, at least seven at one point showed a blue check mark, requiring the scammer to pay $8 per month.Twitter
At the time of publication, Twitter had suspended many of these fake accounts impersonating an airdrop for the Worldcoin token onto followers. Many fake accounts created prior to the launch of the Worldcoin token also stepped up the frequency of their tweets since July 24.And people might have reached out to you promising you cash or even future wealth after investing
