and they literally told me that the scammer was not violating any twitter rules
Jesus Twitter is a strange place. I don't think they really even have any rules and just make it up as they go along. Good on ya for helping to keep people safe even though I think that people that fall for this stuff are kind of asking for it. There's no such thing as free!
Its Crazy right? The literally don’t care about it.
if the scammer was directing people to a Trump merch website they would have a problem with that :P
You got that right! They decided was is acceptable or not!
