Someone has gotten control of my X/Twitter account. The person who’s using my account right now is NOT ME.
I originally got a message from someone on X stating that they accidentally reported me for doing fraudulent or illegal activity and that if I didn’t contact X to prove my innocence within 24 hours that I would lose my account and all accounts tied to my IP address.
Guys I was stupid and I fell for it.
They told me I needed to contact a Discord user named dexterxsupport_ do not contact them!
They then asked for all kinds of personal information and assured me I would get my account back if I followed their instructions.
They told me to give them my birthdate, email, and phone number associated with my account. I didn’t have a phone number with this account and tried not to give it to them, but obviously they didn’t like that. So I gave in and gave it to them.
They then asked me to temporarily change my email associated with the account to one they provided: [email protected]
When I did, it asked for a code, to which they provided for me. They then showed a screenshot of how my account was apparently temporarily banned.
They then demanded a deposit which they said would be refundable. Here’s where I finally got smart and realized I was being scammed. When I told them no to the deposit they got frustrated and demanded I give them a deposit or I would be permanently banned. I told them I literally had no money and that I can’t afford to even pay for food myself. They then “compromised” by saying they would take my discord log in information instead and asked for my credentials.
They tried to show me a certificate “proving” that they were who said they were. Bullshit.
I decided to ignore them and tried to change my password for my x account, but of course my email is changed so I can’t confirm my identity and they already changed my password so I am completely locked out.
I’ve already gotten ahold of the real x support to try and fix this, but in the mean time the op to this post @sonicanon received a similar message from me that I originally received.
Guys, it’s NOT ME, if you get a dm from me that says you’re undergoing legal action or tries to get your information, DON’T FALL FOR IT. They have my account and are trying to do this to you now too. The person who originally messaged me on X I’m sure fell for this too.
✨✨TL/DR: Until further notice, my account on X is not me and is a hacker trying to get your info. If I can get control of it back, I will post an update here about it. ✨✨
I have more screenshots and info available if you’re receiving messages you think may be similar to what happened to me. If you’re worried, you’re welcome to contact me here.
