pupHawaii Posted Tuesday at 11:35 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 11:35 PM Something happened on twitter i've never run into before and i thought it was important to share - and remind everyone - PROTECT YOUR ACCOUNTS! Got a message from a user - apologizing for reporting me to X/twitter for scamming him! Then he says in the message - i'm sorry because i realize it wasn't you it's someone else - and you need to help fix this. I responded back to him - WTF? YOU report me - and you realize it's was wrong - and you want me to fix it? I told him you need to fix this yourself. He responds back with a copy of an email from X/twitter which bascically says that twitter has suspended me - and If i don't reach out to a twitter employee on Discus in the next 12 hours it will be permanent. Well I looked up the user on Twitter - and surprise! The other user account was created on 08/2025 - and he's in Uganda. AND i never received any message/email from twitter. I immediately blocked and reported the original sender - and the user in Uganda. Through the whole thing I'm updating twitter Premium Support - and they get back to me saying - here's how to prevent Phishing and Scamming. I have NEVER seen a phishing/scam thing like this before! I've posted this on X/twitter - but obviously - it applies to ALL your accounts! MAKE SURE YOU PROTECT YOUR ACCOUNT! 1 - create a strong password! 2 - add 2FA/two-factor-authentication to your account! There are MANY phishing/scam messages on twitter! Protect yourself so you don't lose access to your account! Stay safe online out there! 1 Quote
verbalBTTM Posted yesterday at 01:46 AM Report Posted yesterday at 01:46 AM Glad you caught that instead of falling victim to that. Seriously fuck those scammers straight to a CIA black site where souls beg for a quick release from life 1 Quote
badubydo Posted yesterday at 02:16 AM Report Posted yesterday at 02:16 AM It’s actually a common scam across multiple platforms. Anytime they tell you or say you need to message somebody on a different platform, it’s a scam 1 Quote
ellentonboy Posted 11 hours ago Report Posted 11 hours ago Or try to convince you to get off the platform and go to another, usually they are up to no good or going to propose something that is illegal.. I know many of us go to telegram because it is easier to communicate. But once they start asking if you are interested in their "content", or ask for an Apple gift card - RUN!. (Actually just block their ass.) 1 Quote

(Actually just block their ass.) I ran into something similar last week. Some dude agreed to hook up off Sniffies here in NOLA and then messaged me ON THE WAY TO HIS HOUSE telling me he wanted me to pick up an Apple gift card "for his kids" to keep them occupied WHILE WE HAD SEX in the other room. That was a huge huge huge huge nope. Luckily I saw the message BEFORE I got to his house, so turned around and went home. BLOCK BLOCK BLOCKITY BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK. Quote
