Thousands of bogus Twitter accounts push NFT scams to steal cryptocurrency By Tonya Riley @TonyaJoRiley | Cyberscoop - November 10, 2022 Nisos: Non-Fungible Token Scam
Many hard working peeps realize that it's bad enough that our currency is based off "Paper Only" tied to various values such as Real Estate, hard goods, services even etc since being taken off Gold Standard (To a lesser degree Silver Deposit's) years ago. Which was borrowed against back then setting the stage for it's depletion and reorganizing into paper money (Printing Press Ink & Paper).
