Perhaps we may have missed this one, video Premiered Dec 31, 2020 and almost a month now, the stream is still up in Youtube. So we need to report this site so that it will be taken down.


Look at those terms though, double whammy for those who are going to send twice. But the good thing is that the address is still empty, meaning no one has fallen for this trick.

It seems that the video is still up on youtube,

I also reported it, Youtube is really very inconsistent with their take down policy, sometimes they do it very quick. But most of the time it seems that they are just ignoring the reports. Hopefully within the next 24 hours of reporting this, it will be taken down.

The video is still on YouTube which could be dangerous for new crypto users. But the good news is that these scammers haven't trapped anyone in their scam yet, I've checked their bitcoin wallet and it's still empty.

Since elon musk is very popular in the crypto market, the scammers who use his name to create scams may be able to trap some new crypto users.

After a few electrifying days after his statement about DOGE and after that Elon wrote it in his bio about bitcoin, of course the scamers on behalf of Elon Musk in this scam will more new cryptos not be caught in their pool but not this of course there will definitely be many others who will come up with a new trick.

Even though this trick doesn't get money in his wallet but the scammers must have something else to cheat even more real, so they are not alone, of course, the group that has been planned.
Btw I also reported that the Youtube channel on behalf of the Elon Musk Giveaway is a scam.

Yes, this is very dangerous for newbies who might find this in youtube. So I also reported it, although youtube has a history of very conflicting response to a reported scam streams on their service.

This video was uploaded last December, nevertheless Elon Musk is really influence in the crypto scene that when someone see this, they might fall for it. Win-win for scammers, all they have to do is wait for someone to be trap here.

I know Elon Musk has tweet about bitcoin and price suddenly pumped $5000 after it tweeted. Until now, his profile also attacted with "bitcoin BTC". But 5000 btc giveaway is really stup*d to believe, since Elon has said he only has 0.25 btc  ;D

Glad no one has send anything to address

Thank you everyone for reporting this Fake Elon Musk BTC giveaway, finally Youtube has taken it down and no one has fallen for this trick. There could be more, will try to find out and continue to give warnings to this community.
