There are many scammers/malicious/deceitful people that made accounts for celebrities and attempted to scam(or other bad crap) people. So there is a group of people at risk of getting impersonated and a solution is needed for this but it seems Twitter does not have it.

Yes the checkmark should be the solution in theory but it seems from this article that it is not implemented correctly.
