Baby Twitter Coin is Not From Twitter

 Baby Coin Mania Fuels Surge in Crypto Fraud


Unofficial Baby Twitter Coin


Warning New Baby Twitter Coin is not from Twitter. 

New BEP20 tokens are popping up daily flooding the market with fake coins being created out of thin air in many cases. Many coins are copying other coins and projects. Buyer beware.

I caught this fake Baby Twitter Coin operator last week attempting to offer the non official Twitter named baby coin.


Baby Twitter Coin website



After a few days offline the fake Baby Twitter Coin website is back up. The Twitter profiles are inactive but open. 

Opening a new website and Twitter account the unofficial Twitter baby coin operators were quick to attempt to tweet an offering pictured below.



I informed Twitter and responded to the tweet and quickly got blocked. What a surprise. A block is meaningless to a cybersecurity professional because there are always ways to get information legally. 

Original operators Twitter profile, changed several times.

Blocked after informing Twitter and questioning the coin operators.

These operators look to be out of Germany with initial registrations and are on the run changing details trying to sell this fake offer.

There is a great follow feature on Twitter the operators don't know about. Even if you are blocked the profile still shows up with all of your changes.

Example shown below of the alleged Baby Twitter Coin operator.

Always do your research and know who is backing your coin or project. This Baby Twitter Coin is not from Twitter. Always go to official Twitter sites for information on Twitter projects.

This unofficial Twitter baby coin even pitched a charity component. Selling a fake coin and giving some to charity doesn't legitimize the fake offer.

Elon Musk has fueled the baby coin mania and there is no end in sight. The Securities and Exchange Commission is due to give an official stance on crypto by the end of July. As always be careful what you buy and click on. This is not an official Twitter sponsored coin. 

Fake Twitter tokens are being offered on other non official Twitter knock offs like Twitter-Finance[.]com which is also not from Twitter.
