Of late, Twitter has been a hotspot for cryptocurrency scams, with con artists hijacking verified Twitter accounts or impersonating prominent figures in order to relieve unsuspecting users of their digital assets. Late last month we reported of a cryptocurrency scam where scammers were using Twitter handles with names close enough to Elon Musk and posting cryptocurrency related tweets.

Even though Dorsey has kind of assured that the company is aware of the issue and is working on a fix, a number of users have criticized the platform for its faulty anti-spam efforts.
