An account on X called @Gwynneshotwell7 claiming to be Gwynne Shotwell followed me the other day. Out of curiosity, I followed it back. It then initiated a DM conversation with it as following:

Scammer: Hello this is Gwynne Shotwell president of SpaceX Yesterday, 6:10 PM

Me: It obviously is not. Yesterday, 9:24 PM

Scammer: Yeah it true this is my private account and SpaceX is giving new opportunities to everyoneSpaceX. Is giving investment opportunities Potential benefits include substantial monthly revenue, potentially reaching $50,000 per week or more, depending on your investment and agreement. You would also have opportunities to participate in government contracts and partnerships, and contribute to decision-making in pioneering U.S. technology. Furthermore, there’s the exciting prospect of lunar and Martian travel, offering the chance to be among the first to explore new frontiers developed by SpaceX. 4:14 AM

Me: I know Gwynne. You are not Gwynne. 8:49 AM

Scammer: Yeah of course this is me and this is my private account Have we meant before? 10:35 AM

Me: Gwynne is grammatical and knows how to spell.10:52 AM

Scammer: It was likely a typographical error, as previously stated. This is the best chance to build generational wealth; it’s an opportunity you might never see again. Throughout my career as a financial engineer and investor, I can confidently say that this represents the most significant investment return I have ever seen. And of course this is Gwynne Shotwell 11:15 AM

Me: Of course you’re a scam artist. Your account will be ended shortly.

It doesn’t know that I emailed Gwynne this morning about it. I think she knows someone who can do something about this…
