Don't send any Bitcoin to this address!

This is the address the attackers posted from hijacked Twitter accounts on July 15, 2020. Anyone who asks you to send bitcoin here, today or any other day, is running a scam.
On July 15, 2020, attackers took control of 130 Twitter accounts, including those of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Apple and Uber. From 45 of them they posted the same promise: send bitcoin to this address and you will get double back. People sent more than $100,000 worth of bitcoin within a few hours. Nobody got anything back.
The address in this website's name is that address. Bitcoin payments cannot be reversed, so once coins land there, they are gone.
How to spot this scam
- A famous person or company promises to double any crypto you send. Real people and companies don't do this, ever.
- The offer has a deadline ("next 30 minutes only") so you act before you think.
- The post comes from a verified, famous account. That proves nothing: in 2020 the real accounts were hijacked.
- You are asked to send first and receive later. A giveaway that needs your money first is not a giveaway.
- Someone offers to recover coins you already lost, for a fee. That is the second scam.
Stay safe
