I was updating my Reddit Profile today and was pulling up old tweets to use that I wanted and was logged into FloridaBuyHome on Twitter pulling up my CavsTheBlockFan only to find that someone had made a duplicate profile of my profile. @cavsblock instead of @cavstheblockfan they copied over the title name, copied over the pfp, copied over the banner when you click on the profile.
This happen to line up with just in the past week I had a tweet promoting a minting that was a fake website setup to steal peoples nfts message me and tag me on twitter, that I wrote about earlier this week here https://activerain.com/blogsview/5746786/there-are-scams-to-be-aware-of-when-dealing-with-nfts
The idea I believe with this is yet another scam
1. They will ask your followers for funds to be sent so you can unlock other funds you have tied up and cant access for one reason or another.
2. They want to make it look like the real profile that they can tie to their opensea account to make it look as though I am selling the authentic nfts if they were able to steal them, so that it looks to be sold from account that minted.
3. This has happen with Facebook and other socials as well. Scammers would dm people on facebook and say they are stranded and need funds wire right away etc.
I posted to let people know that it wasnt me on that twitter account, the trick here is that they sell old accounts on black markets so that they can look to be originals and just start to post because most dont use search filters to see if they posted on that account years ago and no ones scrolls past 100 tweets, I believe had they been able to steal my nfts they would of copied my tweets as well to make it look like the real account.
