Elon Musk is the most used personality in using giveaways to scam people, I have seen a lot of this some reported and some unreported, I have seen these Elon Musk giveaways many times in Youtube ads and if you are not fully aware of it you might fall on this, people trust what Google ads are showing, it's unfortunate that Google do not have a verification team to verify.

I think they have, but I don't know if it involves human verification though, it could have been bots that's why the ads keeps popping on Google from time to time. I think it's better to report this sites Google's https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_general/. I don't like the word trust though, its subjective, maybe it just Google has become so big that people really thought that everything they show is legitimate.

Scammers use the name Elon musk most of the time. The main reason for this is that elon musk is very popular in the crypto community, and scammers want to use this popularity to scam people. Google's advertising is a very dangerous thing. They approve the advertisements of scam websites every day so that the common people are affected in the wrong way.

I think they have, but I don't know if it involves human verification though, it could have been bots that's why the ads keeps popping on Google from time to time.

Yes. They now promote a lot of ponzi scheme websites. I sometimes wonder how they approve these ads. The main purpose of these ponzi websites is to scam, so by approving the advertisements of these websites, Google is helping them to scam.

Scammers are using the same BTC/ETH address every time. They only change the domain name every time. This implies that this fake giveaway is run by a group.

I do agree that we might call them as criminals syndicate already and not just scammers. Because on the way they change domain names if taken down and then resume but with the same address. Same trick for them and I'm sure that they have reserved some Elon Musk related names to trick people and continue with their crimes. So be careful and be wise not to fall for this trick.

Just like this one,

Scammers have created another fake giveaway website using the name Elon Musk. The activity of scammers has increased a lot due to the current trend in the crypto market. So if you create a giveaway website using the name of a popular person, you should check whether it is really an original website or not.

This was in the news a long time ago. I also think scammers just happily go on with this, there's nothing or no one who can really stop them. there are too many accounts on twitter for that and I have also read that they cannot just block an account. you will be surprised how many people still fall for this unfortunately. warn is the only thing you can do on this forum, that is well done on the op
