Imagine this: you open your X (formerly Twitter) timeline and see a flood of sponsored posts promising XRP rewards, supposedly part of an official Ripple "Community Reward" program.

Everything looks polished, professional, even from verified accounts. But there's one big problem...
IT'S ALL FAKE. And Twitter knows it.
The scam: always the same playbook
Dozens of verified accounts (yes, with the blue checkmark you can now buy) are posting ads like these:
-
"Wow."
-
"Yep. This happened."
-
"Good news!"
With images of tokens dropping from parachutes, flashy graphics, and promises like "multiply your assets" or "double your coins now." The goal? Direct you to sites such as:
-
gift-[REDACTED] -
2xred[REDACTED]
Both flagged as fraudulent by desenmascara.me, a simple but powerful threat detection tool.

These sites pretend to be affiliated with Ripple, but there is not a shred of evidence to support that. They're generic websites, with empty promises, designed solely to steal your crypto.
🔎 A scam that can be exposed in seconds... if you care to look
Here’s the worst part: anyone with basic awareness or access to a site like desenmascara.me can identify the fraud in seconds. You just enter the URL and read:
❌ This site appears FRAUDULENT
❗ No clear evidence of affiliation with Ripple
❗ Generic domain
❗ No official sources or links
So... if it’s this obvious, how are these ads still running and multiplying?
💰 The uncomfortable truth: it’s part of the business
There’s only one reasonable explanation, and it’s as simple as it is brutal: Twitter doesn’t care. As long as these ads pay, they stay.
Why would they protect users when they’re profiting from every click? This kind of scam isn’t a bug in the system—it’s a feature. A direct result of how ad revenue is prioritized above user safety.
❌ This won’t stop... unless they’re forced
The only way to stop this epidemic is through:
-
⚖️ Serious regulation and massive fines (yeah, we are Europe).
-
🧍♂️ Class action lawsuits and legal pressure
-
🔎 Active community oversight
Because it's clear: neither Twitter, Meta, nor any major platform will act unless it hurts their bottom line.
📢 What can you do?
-
Stay alert. Use tools like desenmascara.me to check any suspicious website.
-
Report it. Flag these ads whenever you see them.Check here the reason why I crossed this out. -
Speak up. Share this post, talk about the issue,
tag responsible parties.
This isn’t an isolated case. It’s a pattern. And it’s time to break it.
