It's not so much there are "scam ads on X/Twitter" ... they are EVERYWHERE!

My wife runs a Facebook page that got targeted today by a newly-minted 'account' and 'page' claiming DMCA violations

Well maybe the old bank robber who justified his MO "because that's where the money is", was just as honest.

Maybe scamming twitterers is lucrative "because that's where the gullible consumers are".
