I want to laugh to see this transaction they use bots to attract attention to join it, I do not believe at all about this, and scamer mimics the site Medium to attract the attention of others.

Medium should shout the account down in order to there is no people who will fall to this trap.

Such as a year ago twitter had been banned the account (@elohmmusk) who tried to scam twitter user, this account had made a giveaway to send 0.2 btc and the sender will get 1 btc directly.

It's not real Medium page.... it's fake.
They just clone Medium pages and put random addresses, often times with puny codes to hide

I don't believe there are people who believe these old scams.
MetaMask added that site as an Ethereum Phishing.
I checked the Serving IP Address  (142.93.122.177) and get more sites:  https://muskdeal.info/ >> I think you'll find more.

We started with Facebook libra and now Elon Musk, it seems that hot topics provoke scammers.

Why are you surprised?
The last one made it the news on major newspapers:
https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/elon-musk-bitcoin-scam-twitter-hackers-cryptocurrency-a8620436.html

Probably the bunch of idiots that created the above page took the idea form these ones


Also, this reminded me I have to start reporting some fake youtube giveaways also, I have a bunch of them archived and never had the time to do it.

First it was Telegram channels giving fake giveaways, then we see it on social media websites having fake pages with these fake giveaways, we also see it in a Youtube (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5198456.msg52976494#msg52976494) channel where they are showing a fake live stream saying that they have a giveaway now we have them in Medium articles. These scammers are really getting more desperate and desperate in getting our coins that they cover a lot of websites and apps just to steal it. I think for us to prevent this is we need to educate people who we know that are into Bitcoin or crypto that these scams are getting more and more prevalent everyday.

That site related  IP was offline
Maybe Scammer changed IP when people here did report.
Because, Today I found the same method
Code:
