The Video Call Trickster: Another Fake Elon Musk Tried to Fool Me – X, Take Action!

On January 27, 2025, I encountered yet another fake Elon Musk, and I named him „The Video Call Trickster“ because of his sneaky new tactic. This one started by dodging my questions about his identity – I asked him directly, „Who are you? I don’t think you’re the real Elon yet. Please identify yourself!“ (11:33). Instead of proving himself, he just said, „I am Elon Musk“ (11:39), and tried to lure me to Telegram with a „welcome to my Telegram“ message. Typical scammer move!

I wasn’t having it. I told him, „I see no proof that you are Elon. I’ve already had 7 people on Telegram who said they were Elon. On X, there were well over 30 people“ (11:42). He asked what the other fakes wanted from me, and I explained how they pressured me to invest and buy Tesla, which I’m not falling for (11:45). Then he tried a new trick: offering a video call to „prove“ himself (11:50). He even suggested we could call within the next 20 minutes (12:00).

I wasn’t convinced. I told him, „A video call won’t do – I’ve had enough of that. Call me here or give me your security number. By the way, I’ve already had 3 different Elons“ (11:49). I also warned him that I’m flooded with Elons and Mayes, my English isn’t great, and I don’t look like a model (11:52). I’m a German woman, but I’m not stupid (11:54)! He kept saying, „You can believe me“ (11:55), but I replied, „That’s what all the Elons have said so far“ (11:55).

In the end, he never made that video call – he just asked, „Are you here?“ (12:20), probably hoping I’d give in. I didn’t. I blocked and reported him, as I’ve done with so many fakes before. But seriously, X, when will you take action against these scammers? I’m fed up!

Be careful of „The Video Call Trickster“ and his sneaky video call scam! #ScamAlert #XFails
