Thanks for reporting. Hopefully they will take action against these scammers. Nowadays fake giveaway websites are coming in large numbers, which is very dangerous for newcomers. The main reason for these websites to come is the rising price of Bitcoin. We have seen before that when the price of Bitcoin goes up, the number of scammers increases. So now we have to be very careful. Title: Re: [SCAM Alert] Fake Tesla Giveaway.

Even a fake giveaway video I saw on Youtube, giving paid advertising. This video has spread to a huge number of people. In this way, the newcomers can fall into their scam easily because of this paid ad. In order to warn the newcomers about this, we should expose the scammers before their intentions succeed.

Yes, I agree that this is really dangerous, specially that newbies just blindly believed everything they see specially earning very easy money. The attack became rampant because of the block halving itself. |
