Weekend alert: Fake accounts claiming to represent prominent figures are flooding the platform, and it's getting out of hand.

Here's what you need to know—scammers are constantly cloning profile pictures, copying names with minor tweaks, and running impersonation schemes. They slide into DMs pretending to be "assistants" or "official representatives," trying to build trust before making their pitch.

Let's be clear: Legitimate professionals and crypto figures don't recruit through private messages on social media. There are no official assistants or representatives operating unofficial accounts to contact people directly about anything.

If someone approaches you claiming insider access, special opportunities, or exclusive deals while pretending to represent someone else—that's a red flag. Block, report, and move on. The crypto space attracts scammers because there's real money involved, so staying skeptical isn't paranoia, it's basic survival.
