What triggers it
Content that tries to get money, property or private information by deception: money-flipping ('send $100, get $1,000'), fake discounts, phishing for logins or card details, or trust-building romance or investment schemes.
What X says
“Scams: You may not use X to engage in scam tactics to obtain money, property, or private information.”

How to fix it
Remove guaranteed-return claims, fake discount codes and requests for credentials or payment.
Good to know
Look for guaranteed returns, 'DM me your wallet', crypto doubling, too-good discount codes, login or verification links. Ordinary sales disputes are not scams.
