If you came to this profile because of accusations made by
@TokenArise
, please read some of the other posts I’ve made about their scam before you block me.
In a Kick stream last week,
@RichDoesYT
(who was asked about me calling him out for his fake giveaways) said that because I have the word “scam” in my handle, I am actually the one who is scamming people.
This is a tired argument that has been used by a number of other scammers,
This is a periodic reminder that
@tentacionfn
and his alt accounts (
@indicatorfn
,
@AnnasGiveaway
, and
@TentacionMGMT
) are only running fake giveaways for engagement farming and clout. If you are responding to their giveaways, the only people who will be getting money are them.
I woke up to a few dozen notifications this morning because of a
@stevewilldoit
giveaway, where he announced $10,000 was being given to
@GhostxGives
. These notifications have also consisted of several DMs asking me if this was the same person I’ve posted about previously.
The
@KateAltonWrites
It's possible that it was someone trying to scam you, rather than it being someone with romantic interests. This doesn't make it any less acceptable, of course, but the motivations appear similar at first.
In the two years that I've been running this account, I've had a number of scammers tell their followers to block me, presumably because that scammer doesn't want those followers to see what I post about them. To justify that, many of these people have been told a number of lies:
In encouraging news today,
@tentacionfn
, one of the most blatant engagement farmers running fake giveaways, has been suspended again. The last time this happened, it wasn’t permanent, but hopefully,
@Safety
will think better about it this time and shut them down for good.
Hey,
@TwitterSupport
and
@CashApp
, you’ve been letting
@AlittleHelps
run cash flip scams like this for months now, and according to the screenshot in this post, they did another one today. Do something about this.
@CashSupport
Today’s episode of “scammers that
@notbatmanyet
is following” features
@AnthonyAle44978
, whose bio implies that he is giving away money, but who is also using stolen Cash App screenshots, such as this one that was originally posted by
@I_Am_Gatorboy45
two days ago.
This is not
A couple of hours ago,
@TokenArise
began a harassment campaign against
@jose_ferreiragz
and myself, in which he paints us as not only the same person (we are not), but that he/we are actually posting from prison, among other accusations. None of these accusations are true. 1/20
Another category of accounts I post about periodically are those who run fake giveaways in order to get you to click on an affiliate link (which may or may not be a phishing attempt). These accounts include
@chakidbest29
,
@giftlovej
,
@Xdailybest
, and
@maliseomedia
, all of whom
Apparently, today is coincidentally the day for all of the “disable girls” who are running pencil art scams to have their birthdays, so everyone please make sure to wish
@Sonia_art9
,
@maria_sam22
,
@Jasmine_art8
, and
@jassica_art95
a happy birthday (or not).
Another fake giveaway account I haven’t posted about lately is
@RichDoesYT
, who not only does not give away thousands of dollars, but he (along with an alt account,
@RlCHDOESYT
) scammed a number of people who were promised $30,000 in exchange for about $225 worth of Bitcoin
A giveaway post showing a screenshot with a large balance should never be taken as proof of the giveaway’s legitimacy, because the screenshot can be reused. This
@DromasGamerHD
post is a good example - it’s a screenshot that has been used by dozens of other people in the past.
One of the red flags of a Ponzi scheme is that people do get a guaranteed payment - this is how people get drawn into it in the first place. The problem, though, is that the investments have to keep coming in, or else it becomes unsustainable and people lose their investments.
When you have suspicious
@CashApp
screenshots, such as having the name not line up quite right with everything else, it may be another sign that
@FaZeDeeZy
is trying to scam people again.
I have heard from several people that the winners of this
@GiveawayKing122
giveaway have not been paid yet, supposedly because they are waiting to receive the money to be sent out. If that is the case, perhaps they should be waiting to pay them before announcing new giveaways.
If what people are saying is true about a person who was supposed to distribute $300 given to them by
@pulte
to 10 other people keeping that money for themselves, then it would not surprise me to see giveaways from
@pulte
and other legitimate accounts start to disappear.
As a reminder, if an account posts endless giveaways for thousands of dollars, then follows their giveaway post up with an offer that requires you to clink a sketchy link, these accounts are engagement farming in order to earn affiliate bonuses from you (or, possibly, trying to
Someone should teach
@notbatmanyet
about statistical significance - nineteen replies and fourteen likes out of 129,000 followers probably doesn’t prove the point that “Sam” thinks it does.
As a reminder, accounts that claim to be giving away money simply for liking or replying to a post are not actually giving anything away. This is especially true even the accounts are using the same forged Cash App screenshot as “proof,” as
@indicatorfn
,
@Ketshep99679719
,
As a reminder, the blue checkmark no longer indicates that an account has been verified - it is given to accounts who subscribe to X Premium - and as a result, scammers can now have the checkmark.
A good example is
@TrishFlowerss
, who is running fake giveaways and asking people
I have made a number of references to
@TokenArise
running a likely Ponzi scheme with their tokens for over a year now, but since
@sarahlilsecret
has asked the question, I will post a thread about that information, using the information in the screenshot below to guide it. 1/x
One of the most blatant examples of engagement farming right now are the dozens of accounts posting the exact same offer claiming to pay off people’s debts.
@tentacionfn
,
@giftlovej
,
@the_kingslife
, and
@roboticjoey
are just four of a number of accounts making this claim, with
A few days ago, a winner of a
@connorcrd
giveaway told me that they weren’t paid by him, and that he completely ignored their messages. This isn’t the first time this has happened, either, and both times that I asked him why he wasn’t paying his winners, I was completely ignored.
By posting this $1,000 screenshot that was stolen from a 2020
@pulte
giveaway and then telling
@whiteiswong
that it is “satire,”
@cmattdowns
has effectively admitted that his giveaways are fake and nothing more than engagement farming.
I had missed it when it happened a few days ago, but
@merlinouwww
, who had been running fake giveaways (some of which actually stole money from people) for months, was finally suspended. He isn’t gone for good, though -
@MonopolyMan_Off
, one of his alts, is alive and well still.
Thanks to
@LiTOfficiall
, I have a bunch of new followers. There are two goals that I have with this account:
1) If I think something is fake or suspicious, I'll ask questions.
2) If I know something is fake, I'll call it out and show why.
Otherwise, I'm not that exciting.
Normally, I do not ask people to report posts or scammers, but in the case of the libelous character assassination quoted by
@TokenArise
(which is now being reposted by some of their followers, such as
@Raisingyello
), I am making an exception.
For anyone who would like to see
Also, as a reminder, there were 35 instances last year where
@notbatmanyet
’s examples of “anonymous crowdfunding” included receipts showing a 5.75% sales tax rate, including on groceries. This is the tax rate in the Oklahoma county where the woman supposedly behind “Sam” lives.
For the thirty-fifth time this year,
@notbatmanyet
has posted a third-party crowdfunding request where the sales tax rate in the screenshot is 5.75%. This, as a reminder, is the exact same sales tax rate as the Oklahoma county where the woman supposedly behind “Sam” lives.
Apparently,
@elitewealthreal
didn’t like me pointing out that they (like so many other people here) are baiting people with fake giveaways for clout, and then blocking their “winners.”
As was pointed out by
@jladycurrie
a few minutes ago, a number of announced winners of
@elitewealthreal
giveaways are finding themselves blocked, having received nothing from this person.
If you are following them for their giveaways, I would highly suggest unfollowing them.
For the fourth time in the past few days,
@AyyItsBill
posted the same cash tag in response to a giveaway that
@GhostxGives
and several of his other alt accounts have posted in the past. “Bill,” as a reminder, was the “winner” of a
@GhostxGives
“giveaway” earlier this month.
The fake giveaways and phony PC sales from
@merlinouwww
appear to have an ulterior motive that is even more nefarious - if
@bnannersdad
is to be believed, the goal is to steal money through phony cash flips in the same way other scammers like
@ovodeezytoiletz
and
@EdgarRawdon
do.
If an account says that they want to give away a significant amount of money to someone, it’s being posted purely for engagement farming - that person has no intention of actually giving it away.
@Jayecane
is notorious for posting things like this (because he’s been doing it for
This is a periodic reminder that no one on Twitter/X is giving away money simply for liking and replying to a tweet. This rule applies whether it’s only $100, as
@AnnasGiveaway
or
@CocoooNFTs
are claiming, or whether it’s the $10,000 that
@chakidbest29
or
@kamcoins
are claiming.
There are a lot of forged CashApp screenshots that people try to pass off as legitimate, and some of them actually might be passable at first glance. This one from
@zeussfv
, though, is not one of them - in fact, it’s probably one of the most laughably bad forgeries I’ve seen yet.
The fake
@IAmDerrickYoung
giveaways that ended with his suspension have started up again. This time, he’s using his business account,
@DyEnterprises
, for them.
A few days ago, I posted suspicions that
@Saderskfx
was going to be the latest account associated with known scammers
@robsandrew150
and
@happyjamie7
to start running fake giveaways.
My suspicions appear to be confirmed, thanks to “Kevin” posting an untagged giveaway winner
It appears that the scammer behind
@robsandrew150
and
@happyjamie7
has a new account -
@Saderskfx
has been pushing his own giveaways recently (one of which
@happyjamie7
retweeted).
Also, the language on a giveaway post from five days ago is similar to that of one of “Jamie’s”
As many of you are aware, posts talking about being scammed often get spammed by a number of bots offering recovery services. This post got a number of them, advertising this service from
@Decryptrecover

@Tom__Hankss
,
@Sir_Roberto9
, and
@Mikexoffice
.
Anyone offering this
As a reminder, anyone who says that they want to send you money isn’t really sending that amount of money to anyone, whether it’s
@jayecane
pretending to send $1,000 or any of the engagement farmers who all use the same screenshots, like
@Mrcryptoxwhale
,
@Whalepump
, or
I tweeted an earlier
@JackBenjaminz
post to show a real PayPal screenshot, because of a scammer who forged them to make small payments look big. That scammer is back -
@lizpicker107370
has an untagged winner with a $30 screenshot edited to change the total to $3k (and the date).
The scammer who doctors their
@PayPal
receipts to make small payments look large usually omits the commas from their screenshots as well - as you can see from this real screenshot, payments of $1k or more have both the comma and cents included in the total.
Recently,
@the_kingslife
,
@TheCryptoSquire
, and
@chakidbest29
have claimed that they were “helping people” for a certain period of time. There was no proof posted of this, though, nor am I aware that anyone received any help out of these posts (other than these clout chasers).
An
@I_Am_Gatorboy45
post pointed me to
@Bill1Pulte8
and his assortment of “giveaway winners” this morning, which immediately made me suspicious. It didn’t take long to find that “Aaron” stole screenshots - in fact, he stole both of them from this
@pulte
giveaway post from March.
Lastly, if you are a victim of
@TokenArise
or if you had money stolen from you when they were known as
@ARISE_Daily_Pay
, please consider filing a complaint against them with the
@FBI
’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, at . 20/20
This is a reminder for
@Safety
that
@notbatmanyet
, who claims to be a 50-year old man, has a profile picture that, while run through AI filters, is nearly identical to pictures posted on Instagram by
@coreybrooks34
. This is also not the only picture that “Sam” stole from him.
In the continuing saga of the recent fake
@tentacionfn
giveaway,
@Blackvadeal
told
@noorfvv
to check his balance. Not surprisingly, that account hasn’t posted anything to their account since July, but magically, they showed up, posted in response to this “giveaway,” and “won.”
This is a periodic reminder that no one here is giving away thousands of dollars for simply liking and responding to a post.
Such offers from accounts like
@JustinCryptoX
,
@pluxdyor
,
@kamcoins
, and
@DromasGamerHD
are blatant engagement farming that are designed to get you to
.
@SGP_Vick
keeps wanting to make this about one person, but there are four people from that giveaway who have said they were blocked or never paid. The only person who hasn’t said anything about their win is
@tisonlyme143
, and as far as I know, she might not even know she “won.”
@MissPinky1975
1 guy didn’t get paid because he was not following until after he was selected. My record is 14-3. I lost 2 other times and never been accused of this until 1 cry baby and his gang
Also, as a reminder, accounts claiming to give large amounts of money, while showing a screenshot as “proof” of a big cash balance, are also engagement farming efforts - the screenshot is stolen, and the person posting the offer isn’t giving away money.
@Mrcryptoxwhale
,
And when
@JackBenjaminz
talks about proof for larger giveaways, it should be a screenshot that clearly identifies the winner (which is not forged, altered, or stolen) with a tag to match. Those are few and far between, though, so it should always be okay to investigate further.
Earlier today,
@HoopMixOnly
, who has been on my radar for over a year because of their fake PS5 giveaways, announced
@Don_Juula
as the winner of a $1,000 giveaway. The problem, though, is that “Don” did not like the giveaway post, which was supposedly a condition for entry.
The question that
@CockyFootG
asks here is one that I’ve heard countless times about any number of people, not just the account that is specifically being asked. Similar logic is used by many people to defend accounts as well - for the two years I’ve run this account, I’ve heard
Early in the morning on December 31,
@gone_witch
posted a giveaway for ten Nintendo Switch consoles, which was to end “in four days.” Fast forward four days, and the giveaway has been deleted with no winners announced, which seems to be the normal practice for this account.
As an experiment, I looked to see what it means to get a blue check mark (which I have now). The answer is to have an iPhone and to pay
@Twitter
eight dollars - there is absolutely no verification involved, which essentially makes the check mark meaningless, as far as I can tell.
About five minutes ago,
@MommsAbigail
posted a giveaway of $5,000 to “someone random,” because it’s Monday. “Momma Abigail Lisa,” however, is pretending to be from Manhattan, where it is still most definitely Sunday.
The latest account that I’ve discovered has blocked me because they don’t like me pointing out their scam is
@TheConsolePlugs
, who is notorious for asking people to pay shipping on their “free” giveaways and then does not deliver anything to the “winner.”
.
@JazzyLynnRose
sent me a message asking me if I “wanted intel on
@PookiesParadise
.” Those accounts are, in reality, the same troll who was behind
@Union_247
,
@EShunESPN
, and dozens of other accounts - “Jasmine’s” radio show is the same nonexistent show as “Eric Shun” hosted.
As a reminder,
@ToughPinata
is an alt account of
@roboticjoey
, who is notorious for posting endless giveaways for engagement, only to give away a fraction of what he charges.
This alt account is no different -
@ToughPinata
makes people believe they’re giving away a lot of money,
After getting called out by several past winners for using years-old screenshots on new giveaways,
@OttoMatticBaby
has started giving away money, reposting the screenshots, and then retweeting the posts. (The exact same $25 payment went on his timeline five times this afternoon.)
@HarleyGin216
@TokenArise
Respectfully, the fact that they sent you $20 does not make them legit - their token scam has stolen money from a number of people, and their large giveaways are fake.
I can’t speak to the handicapping prowess of
@cappergoatbet2w
, but what I can speak to is their ability to used forged
@CashApp
screenshots to announce giveaway winners, then to quickly delete them when they’re called out as fraudulent. (Thanks to
@ThaAngelGuy
for the heads up.)
Today’s episode of “scammers that
@notbatmanyet
is following” features
@BISHOPHDAV60119
, yet another person pushing a “100% legit” platform that will return money “in 5 minutes.” “Sam” follows obvious scams like this, because it boosts “his” numbers and gives “him” clout.
As a reminder,
@ovodeezytoiletz
is pretending to pay people to block me and
@jose_ferreiragz
(which is a TOS violation) because *he* is the scammer, and we point that out to people. It’s worth noting that eight of the accounts who responded to the post are also this scammer.
While
@ARISE_Daily_Pay
is busy threatening me with attorneys, maybe someone can ask why they charge some people a fee of $200 per month for some of their services, and why this is never disclosed anywhere on their website or in their Twitter feed.
Speaking of
@notbatmanyet
, it’s worth a reminder (especially for those new to this account) that “Sam’s” current profile picture appears to be an edited version of a picture stolen from
@coreybrooks34
.
In fact, most evidence points to “Sam” being a woman living in Oklahoma.
Since I haven’t posted about
@notbatmanyet
that much recently, it’s also worth a reminder that two of “Sam’s” more recent profile pictures (including “his” current one) are AI-altered versions of photos that appear to have been stolen from the Instagram account of
@coreybrooks34
.
When winners are tagged and screenshots show adequate proof, as
@DotComParker
has done here, it’s a positive sign as to the legitimacy of the giveaway. Posts from
@TokenArise
,
@merlinouwww
, and
@tentacionfn
that don’t tag winners and hide info are giant red flags by comparison.
As a reminder to
@TwitterSafety
, offering consideration in exchange for reporting someone is targeted harassment, and yet, you allow
@notbatmanyet
to do this all the time. In this example, “Sam” implies that money will be sent to
@ncgurl68
in exchange for reporting
@SirDecka
.
As a reminder, no one here is randomly giving away thousands of dollars to people simply for liking a post or following them.
@thomasj556665
, whose bio claims that he is giving away $4.2 million to people simply for following him, is most definitely not an exception to this rule.
About two and a half hours ago,
@MariahValencio
posted the latest version of her fake giveaway, which she regularly posts and deletes. Three of this scammer’s alt accounts have retweeted the post, but none of her alts have posted thanking her for the nonexistent money (yet).
It’s funny that you mention this,
@BerryPatches
, because I can point you to several instances where
@notbatmanyet
has called out someone as a scammer, when they’ve only done something as simple as ask a question about “Sam’s” nonexistent vegan cookbook, like
@ZacharySBeck
did.
Scammers like to project and say others are the ones doing harm but instead they cause the harm.
Be kind and get out of the way!
Sam
@notbatmanyet
, I stand with you
Here are some details about how
@ARISE_Daily_Pay
from one of their investors, which includes information about the additional fee that they started demanding as a condition of receiving payment for their “investment.”
@scamminghandles
@ARISE_Daily_Pay
Me and my husband both tried this. At first, it was great! They paid out on time, they were nice and respectful. Then, when I hit the $500 payout mark(that includes what you invest!) They told me I had to pay $200 or $125 bi weekly. I paid the $125. My account got put on hold
For tonight’s fake
@cdl_aim
giveaway, it only took the supposed recipient,
@ayeeitsjordyn
, about ten minutes after the announcement of the “winner” to call them out for never having sent her money in the first place, despite the forged PayPal screenshot showing a $3,500 payment.
@millbabe50
@TokenArise
@Raisingyello
My account is wholly dedicated to calling out scammers and trying to help people here protect themselves from becoming victims - nothing more and nothing less. Anything that people say about me or my motivations, including the things that
@TokenArise
has been posting about me
I’m not sure what is worse - the fact that
@tentacionfn
thinks he can pass off this obviously fake screenshot (with a completely nonexistent cash tag) as a real payment, or the fact that people see something so fake and still believe this person is giving money away anyway.
In this post,
@RobinArtDao
wants people to believe that they gave $1,500 to
@hey_its_santana
. Not coincidentally, this user got $1,500 from
@pulte
a couple of days ago, and it just happens to be that
@RobinArtDao
stole
@pulte
’s screenshot and is trying to pass it off as theirs.
