Title: "I just got scammed by a fake Elon Musk Twitter account, and it cost me my lunch money"

"Hey guys, just a heads up, I just got phished by a super realistic Elon Musk Twitter account. Someone DM'd me claiming to be Elon offering me a 'free' $ETH airdrop in exchange for some cryptos, which I stupidly sent to the 'wallet address'. Lost my entire lunch budget, now I'm broke"

"Dude, that's lowkey infuriating. Be glad you only lost a few bucks, some folks have had their identities stolen from those fake accounts. Always verify the account, man!"

Dude, that's a rookie mistake. Think you can just DM some Twitter account claiming to be Elon Musk and get money? Never give out personal info or crypto to anyone online, period.

"Sorry to hear that, dude. Fake Elon accounts are super common, you gotta be more careful with your clicks. Make sure to verify the account info before sending any $$$"

"Bruh, that's crazy! You gotta be more careful, there's been a ton of fake celebrity accounts popping up. Did you report the account to Twitter?"
