Ethereum has completed one of its most significant milestone with the successful completion of “The Merge”, the migration to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus.

The hype around The Merge has attracted a swarm of scammers that are actively using verified Twitter accounts to impersonate Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and dupe investors.
