Trying to reach Paytm customer support on Twitter? Careful of fake bots out there to scam you

A prominent problem faced by Twitter users since its boss Elon Musk did away with the legacy verified accounts, has been to identify legitimate accounts on the microblogging site. Musk’s decision to introduce a subscription fee of $8 for account verification has created a problem where users can easily fall prey to misinformation by unknowingly interacting with catfishers since anyone can pay for verification under the new policy.

This issue has recently become evident when searching for ‘Paytm’ on Twitter, as it triggers responses from at least four fake accounts impersonating the customer care of the financial technology company.
