They run frequent 'sweeps' on their page, typically giving away PS5, XBox, or nintendo sweepstakes Switches and I have tweeted, liked, commented, and retweeted on a bunch of them. Today I got the following DM from them:

"Hello congratulations on winning one of the 3 select PS5s , we do require each winner to cover international express shipping which is $60, if they’re not based in Canada, if you’re in Canada we do charge $30, hopefully that’s not an issue just let me know!"

After doing a little more digging, some people actually sent money and then were immediately blocked.

Yes I got that same DM on Twitter and I responded that this sounds like a scam if you can send me the PS5 and it's legit I'll give you the $60 and now I'm blocked from his twitter. What a cold heartless person it takes to steal people's money like that if that's what they really are doing. The checkmark should be removed from his account and he should be banned. This is assuming he really is a scammer which sounds like it.
