The social network Threads, positioned as an analogue of Twitter, began to be replenished with fraudulent copies of Twitter pages of real cryptocurrency projects. Members of the cryptocurrency community drew attention to this on Twitter.
As an NFT influencer under the nickname LeonidasNFT noted, a copy of his page has already been created by third parties in Threads.

Threads also noticed a copy of the scandalous NFT investor Jeffrey Huang, known on Twitter as MachiBigBrother.

However, scammers do not live on Threads alone. Earlier, the editors wrote that attackers actively advertise their schemes under the guise of legitimate ones on YouTube. Twitter itself has also long been a favorite haven for crypto impostors.
Threads was developed by Meta * (banned in the Russian Federation) as an alternative to Twitter. In less than a day, over 30 million users registered on the site, and two days after the launch, the user base grew to 70 million people. The popularity of Threads has already attracted the attention of Twitter's lawyers .According to Semafor, lawyers for Elon Musk's social network sent a letter to Mark Zuckerberg, accusing his company of "deliberate and misappropriation of trade secrets."
