"Rising Fraud: Deceptive Links Exploit X, Causing Continual Breakdown"

TL;DR Summary
Fraudsters are using deceptive links on X to scam users, with verified accounts posting links that lead to entirely different sites than what they appear to be. This has been highlighted by a security researcher who found a link to a legitimate Forbes article actually leading to a Telegram account promoting a crypto scam. X's failure to show users the immediate destination of a link allows scammers to deceive users, and this is just one example of weak content moderation on the platform. The issue raises questions about how ads are vetted on X and highlights the platform's ongoing struggle with fraudulent and misleading content.
