LoveMake connected their primary wallet, which was immediately drained of 61.5 ETH (~$120,000) and $93,400 in the Tether stablecoin.LoveMake wrote on Twitter that "I am dyslexic and didn't notice that the Burnt Toast acc was scam. It was very similar to the original & Verified." They appeared to blame Twitter's new verification process, writing, "@Twittersupport can you explain the meaning of the word 'verified'? we're waiting for days every time we change pfp or display name and then I got scammed by verified account with exact the same name and pfp as Doodles founder in million views thread?"

I was rugged many times and finally robbed but not broken. Thanks to twitter the most profitable web3 activity now is a scam. Shouldn't Twitter pay more attention to its own security?"
