Two of my friends recently fell for the “vote for me” scam on X.
Their X account is now controlled by the scammers and it used to get other X accounts.
Once you are hacked, you’ll be PERMANENTLY locked out of your account because X support will refuse to give you your account back because your credentials don’t match the scammers who currently control your account.
NEVER ENTER YOUR ACCOUNT CREDENTIALS on request of your friends (or the platform itself). ALWAYS verify the URL in the address bar!!!
These are BOTH from accounts who got scammed. The conversation is with the scammer. Clicking the link will enable them to control your account.
The reason they like X is because other providers make it easy for you to get your account back.
X allows the scammer to control your account and will not take action to help you recover it.
This is what happened to Norman Fenton (who has a blue check) when he tried to get his account back. They told him to go away.
So kiss your account good-bye if you get scammed.
Note there is no option to report an account takeover by a scammer.
So account takeovers are basically permanent.
