$8 for a Twitter Blue Tick?

Digital Desk: Twitter Blue Tick will cost verified users $7.99, according to Elon Musk, and it is now available in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Only iOS users have had access to the subscription; Android users have not yet been informed of its availability. 

In addition, verified users will have priority ranking in replies, mentions, and content searches, as well as access to lengthier movies and fewer but more relevant advertising.

 In India, it's anticipated that the similar item may cost Rs 469. However, several people claim to have received a message saying that they may verify their Twitter handle for merely $2, or roughly Rs 164. However, the message was issued by con artists who wanted to defraud people while using the Twitter verification cover.

 Scammers and online crooks are taking advantage of the fact that the Twitter verification plan hasn't yet been implemented in India by sending users trap messages. They are instructed to click on a link in the message to verify their Twitter handle for just $2. The $2 price is indicated in the message as a pre-Christmas holiday bargain. Fraudsters obtain access to the mobile and transfer money from the victim's account if someone clicks on the link and enters the necessary information to make a payment.

The police have already issued warnings against clicking on any unidentified sites and urged people to double-check any links they get from unfamiliar sources before clicking on them. State-wide police agencies with cyber crime units have issued warnings to citizens not to fall for any kind of enticement, including lottery or discount offers.

"Keep yourself from being robbed out of a cheap blue tick. Such a programmer has not yet been launched by Elon Musk in India. This is how thieves plan to clean out your account, "the Haryana Police's State Crime Branch stated.

If you have lost money due to cyber crime, call 1930 right away and provide the police the specifics of the transaction so that it can be stopped. In the event of cyber fraud, you should also submit a FIR.
