Title: New BTC-ETH giveaway scam

Fake live feed of a prominent Eth  developer embedded in a static background with the giveaway adress.
Well YouTube just banned the video.
I think they are becoming more fast.
Thats good.

What is not good is that after one year of attacks (more years back if we count twitter attacks) they dont feel a need to warn their users in a more permanent way.
I still found that ethically questionable. All the main cryptos sites shuold put an small warning when someone first
visits their sites.

Trying to automate a response procedure i did the following:
  • I report the addresses in https://scam-alert.io/
  • and took snapshots : https://archive.ph/1EpI7  ,  https://archive.ph/Ix0Z
  • https://www.whois.com/whois/crypto-gifts.net

Also i wonder how valuable is the info that you can get on the ip or traceroute behind the domain.
Does geolacation has any value?

Today there is no difficulty in completely changing your geolocation, and all other trackers to pass off your site as another country.
The same scenario again. The site was created five days ago.

I hope on our forum people have already met such a scam many times and are experienced enough not to believe these bad people.
