HOW TO SPOT SCAMMERS, a thread:
-No proofs of winners receiving prizes, and winners being announced properly. If they are never given, it's likely a scam. If @'s are blocked out, multiple proofs are needed. Stuff onhand isn't enough.
-Holding a lot of big giveaways in little time

-If winners that are announced don't look real, if they only tweeted a few times, are always very recent or have little to no followers. You can always check by looking at the password change numbers/emails of both accounts.
