Title: [Scams]:Fake giveaway in Youtube and need help from the community to report them
Post by: Baofeng on December 28, 2019, 02:01:13 PM
Hello guys,

We all have heard that Youtube is purging its platform of crypto related channels because of so many scammers taking advantage of their system. However, there are lots of legitimate crypto related channels and I'm sure majority of us are subscribers and it's sad to see them being removed by Youtube. But up to this point, there are a lot of fake giveaways still,, so as a community, we should reports those. So to be able to find them, you can used this simple trip:

1. Use Youtube function

2. Type for example "Binance Live", then you can see some obvious results. You can see the sample results here: {Warning}: Another Fake CZ Binance AMA Bitcoin Giveaway (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5212634.0).

3. Then report them to Youtube, steps are also included in link post #2.

You can start by searching "ETH giveaway" and see how it goes, you use your imagination and combine keywords here.

It probably takes around 5-10 minutes to report them so I do hope that the community will work collectively to pin down those scammers. I know that others will say that it will be a cat and mouse game. Yes it is true, but at least we're doing something instead of not doing anything. We don't want to be the problem, we want to help resolve the problem. Thanks!!!

channel like that which causes the removal of crypto-related mass videos, but the problem is when the video or channel is reported that person will make a new channel or video again, unless there is someone who wants to track and arrest him so that the person can be jailed, I really hope that such a person can be arrested so that it does not cause problems.

Even those watching 3,6k whether it is real or the bot has no direct comments or messages, I suspect it's the bot watching.
Yes, this video does not stop I am worried that many people will be trapped by the scamer.

Don't jump to conclusion too soon, its an error on youtube side, well as they said.
As for the channel, even these scammers creating accounts again after the video and/or channel got disabled, post such this and on other community such reddit is a big help, so that newbies will be aware. But as for the newbies seeing those giveaways is easy to recognize for being a scam.
