Fake (and Verified!) Accounts on X.com: This is NOT Timothy Geithner

This is NOT Timothy Geithner

So this scammer using a fake X.com account, posing as former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, sent me a direct message (DM) with the words "Greetings Brother."

• This fake account has a convincing username: @SECTIMOTHY. 
  
  
• The account is Verified, so this scammer paid for verification. They are stepping up their game.  Scammers are now willing to pay to create convincing fake accounts on X.com.  There was a time when the Verified blue checkmark could be faked.  No longer. Elon fixed that.
  
  
• The account has only 1,180 followers. For a former Treasury boss? Another giveaway.
  
  
• Not a talented scammer, for sure. No header image. Lame.
  
  
• Why would a former Treasury boss send me a DM saying, "Greetings Brother???" Stupid.
  
  
• The profile is described as "75th U.S. Secretary of the Treasury from 2009 to 2013 now based in private sector."  Watch out for fake "spam and scam" accounts like this one.  Block and report them. ✅👍🙌
