Chard Coin and Bullion Dealer Impersonator on Twitter

We just found this on Twitter:

We reported it to Twitter, who have "suspended" the account, and we are asking them for more information.

I doubt they will voluntarily tell us who set it up.

Putin / Trump / Barry?

Well spotted and good that the account was suspended.
So many false IDs and scams these days, some of which are getting more sophisticated that many people fall for them.
I have a string of free gifts ranging from new iPhones, flatscreen TVs etc waiting for delivery by UPS and other couriers if only I could correct an address which appears incorrect.
All started when I completed a Morrisons supermarket survey offering a £50 voucher as a valued customer - of course no voucher but dozens of unwanted spam emails every day.

Hi @LawrenceChard

I follow quite a few coin dealers / bullion dealers on twitter and have seen in the last few months a few pop up - often posting up interesting US coins, market commentary.  I follow ZERO BTC people.

What happens is that when they have built a set of followers the account switches from a PM / Gold account to one pumping BTC.  THEN I get direct mails offering me Crypto at a discount.  I suspect the same is happening here.

Best

Damn it has gone - i wanted to report it. My little power trip for the morning.
i had never come across that account but probably missed it as wasn't posting about conspiracy theories.
