Immediately after receiving verification, the fake account began “distributing bitcoins.”
A fan page dedicated to publishing Musk's tweets posted a fake offer to double their BTC.
I will provide the help everyone has asked for. Send $1000 to my BTC wallet, and I will return you $2000 today
In 24 hours, to the specified address transferred 0.0371 BTC or $2350 at the current rate, part of which was immediately withdrawn.
Facebook later deleted the fake page, which had 153,000 subscribers.
The page was registered two years ago under the nickname Kizito Gavin. After six name changes, she was renamed "Elon Musk" on October 17. In total, it contained 10 photos of reposts of Musk’s tweets, and the last one was a fake Bitcoin distribution.
