Hello everyone,

Let me introduce everyone with another fake project who are offering 50000 ETH giveway by using ethereum founder Vitalik's fake twitter post. Most concerning thing is that they are running video advertisement on youtube and it took my attention today. Their ETH address have already got 1.44 ETH deposit and i can't say exactly how many peoples are going to put their foot on this trap. Entire project is nothing but an obvious money stealing trap.

Please take a look here,

Thank you for such information.

That's clearly scammed not a giveaway, just like what happened on Twitter recently scammed they ask to double your Bitcoin and now on Ethereum.

This is so obvious " If you send 10+ ETH you will be airdropped 50+ETH ". So, where's the giveaway? it should be free given away.

Dumb, naive, and lazy people will fall into this kind of trap.

When ETH was pumped some time ago many fake gieaway continued to take action on Twitter and YouTube videos and this also often happens with other coins such as BTC and TRX so I think it is necessary to avoid what this absurd giveaway is.

Maybe with 1.44 ETH in his wallet just to lure the victims into making deposits and go crazy over this tarawan, oh how sad.

Nice catch

Greedy and ignorant as well, no one in their right frame of mind will simply gave that kind of huge amount, not Vitalik himself. So if someone falls for it, as much as I hate to say it, but it's their own fault.

And with the twitter account hack and subsequent fake giveaway modus, everyone that is involved in crypto should be aware on how this scams works.

Maybe you are right. Its common that scammers make some transactions by their own to make visitors believe that they are really following their commitment. Although they have showed many fake transactions on their frontend and hope anyone will justify that before making new one.

You and me can't do nothing but increasing awareness among investors about scammers activity. In some cases who are relatively new in crypto world they start to believe on this kinda projects and make the mistake. Scammers have enough knowledge that experienced crypto investors will not put their foot on their money stealing trap and all their scam plans are just only for them who have less knowledge about crypto investment.
