Received a “Removal Notice” from Twitter Verified? A new phishing scam is emerging where users receive a notification that they have been added to the “Twitter Removal Notification List.” Here’s what you need to do

It looks like a new phishing scam is out now: Verified users of the social media platform Twitter have received a “Removal Notice” from a verified user stating that their account is invalid. Scammers send users notifications that they have been blacklisted, and to keep the blue badge, users need to file an appeal by clicking on the link via NewAppealStart. However, this is a new phishing scam and users should not click on such links. 5G 2022 scam: Fraudsters are stealing sensitive information in the name of 5G makeover, Mumbai police claim

Users added to the removal message:

Well, this is a new style of phishing that I haven’t seen before… (Please do not follow this link unless you are a virtual machine malware analyst!) I just received a notification that I have been added to the “Notification about deletion” “Twitter”. Of course, Jan. pic.twitter.com/ueOvVvqj7j

@elonmusk I just got a deletion message saying my account is fake. So now my real identity is at risk from your algorithm? 🙄

Someone is trying to run a scam here. If you are added to Twitter’s takedown notification list, do not click the link. pic.twitter.com/RGu2TrcaCL
