Bitcoin Forum

I see big campaign that Elon musk and Tsla give us double bitcoin on any amount we sent.
I sent elon 0.3 btc but I didn't get yet the 0.6 btc from Tsla.
How long it takes to receive it?

Never.
I guess, you are referring to the twitter guys who posted this scam there with some videos and a website. If that's, I repeat you have been scammed. You will never get your BTC back.
Remember, there's nothing call free. Everything has a cost. You can't get $300 even for free.

Can you provide us the link of this promotion?
I don't think that is a legit one. I believe you are being screwed by scammers.
Most scammers have the same strategy, send them something, and they will double it.
That's already an old trick. If you did really send them 0.3btc, high chance that you will not see your money again.

What do you exactly mean on that campaign buddy? Please send us some proofs of transactions made that you really sent 0.3 btc to ELon Musk. Because if you're just telling us without any legal evidence here, then I guess that's totally a crap story of yours.
For all of us knew Elon in the first place, he was a billionaire and 0.3 btc was just a very little percentage of his fortunes.

What did you just say?! Elon asked for Bitcoin and you sent 0.3? Like, you mean that the richest man in the world whose company just bought tons of Bitcoin asked you for Bitcoin? Kid me. Sadly, you have been scammed by someone who claims to be Elon Musk. But then, some of these scams are obvious, I mean, why on earth would you believe that someone with such wealth will ask for money?

I believe he is referring to this same giveaway - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5329774.0. And it is from YT. It is a fake giveaway. And the OP has been scammed. Sadly. He will be waiting in vain for his money that will never come. I hope newbies will be more careful in this too-good-to-be-true giveaways. They are mostly tactics of scammers to collect hard-earned money from gullible users.

I do not know if you are joking or if you are actually asking this question but if it is the later then I can safely say that you have been scammed, people do need to be smarter than this, no one is going to give you double the amount of bitcoin that you send, it doesn't matter if you think that this comes from one of the most influential people in this market that is never going to happen, consider this to be a lesson, never send money to anyone that you do not know because if you do there is a very high chance you will never see your coins ever again.

If you have really sent btc, then you will be sad to know that you have been scammed. Because the person you sent the payment to was not Elon Musk but a cheater /scammer and now you are not going to get anything back.

• Always remember that no website can double or triple your funds.
• All giveaways on YouTube and other social media platforms are fake.
• You do not need to send payment to participate in any giveaway. It is free if there is no bad intention behind it.

You have to think logically and be sane, YouTube is currently 50% nothing original, almost entirely edited, for content and making money, remember that.

Photos, conversations, etc., have Elon can be edited to look like the original, you have to be careful when doing double the Bitcoin that you send.
Think of it, if someone in the world sends 0.3 btc for each person, double the pay. 0.6 btc twice, if you multiply that by the 5000 people who send whether they can pay double that, with the total they spend: 3000 btc, Of course not, scams are going on on YouTube, be careful, they just run away, you will cry.

How do people these days, still believe in the illusion of tuyul multiplying money, Lol.

Not only Elon but also everyone who give your a double deal like that will be scammer certainly.

Simply thought: Where they can get money to give you a double for any amount you send to them like that? Send 0.3 BTC and get 0.6 BTC back. Send 1 BTC and get 2 BTC back.

Is life too easy like this? Bitcoin has a fixed and unchangeable total supply so they can not mint any amount of bitcoin and award it to you.

Where did you get the deal? On Youtube, in Telegram group?

I really don't want to be rude, but you're not going to receive any BTC. What you're actually going to receive is a hard lesson that you shouldn't believe everything you see on the internet, especially concerning money and investments.

But why will Elon Musk just want to double everyone's bitcoin, is Elon Musk charity??  Or did you read somewhere that Tesla is a charity organisation?? Too many times, people keeping falling for get rich schemes like this, I am sorry to say, just as i am sure you have realised by now that you have just been swindled off your bitcoins. 0.3btc is something, but it is not what you cannot live without. I advice that you be wiser and not make hasty decisions whenever you hear about or see schemes that look too good to be true.

Sorry for your loss. I hope you learned your lesson about greed. It is a tough thing to have to face something like this as a newbie. But the forum is filled with people who had similar experiences but are comfortably placed today.

Just soak in all the knowledge by reading and lurking. You will be good to go in no time.

Damn these youtube scams are becoming sophisticated. Just another example that when you talk about Social media and all these "free" products, you, as a consumer, are the product.

Just forget about that because you get a scam if you already sent 0.3 btc. That is an old way to scam people and that still works so far even if now, much information telling about the scam, but for new people that way still make them get scam. Nothing is free if that is related to money unless someone gives you the money free without doing something. Next time, if you see that offer, you must stay away and never send any money to them because you will get the same experience as today.

There's no such thing like free bitcoin from someone, no one will give his bitcoin for nothing or for free.

Never expect for someone to give you free bitcoin, instead you should work for it and make yours grow. Obviously those people who are saying that they give free bitcoins are an expert scammers who wants to make money by fooling people. Also keep yourselves of these kind of scamming schemes that says they will have a bitcoin giveaway.

Be aware and be mindful of what you are seeing in the internet.

It is definitely a fraud set up by scammers lurking in social media platforms especially Twitter. In fact, Elon Musk warns his Twitter followers not to be fooled and be aware of this kind of online crypto scams. It's a lesson learned on your part and always kept in mind that there's nothing free in this world. Please help to spread awareness about these issues so that there won't be any more victims.

Nice one you just got scammed by the most common type of scam on the cyberspace, this is a doubling scamfor those who don't know, it is where they ask you to send them something and they will promise to double it, they might start at small amount and double it for real and then when you send more, that is when they are going to pull off the scam. If you think OP that you can get your money back, you better believe that it won't happen.

You are a victim of your greed and the fact that you refused to use your brain. Think about it for a moment, why would anyone pay you back double? What's the benefit in it for them? Where would they even get the money from, the wealth is not limitless!

BTC0.3 is huge!!! As per current market rates, it amounts to $18,000+. It is really sad to hear that new users are losing so much of their hard earned money to scammers. This particular scam has been going on for almost two years now. They always change their website and BTC address, but the methodology is the same. Can't we track down the transactions and identify these scammers? They are stealing huge amounts from unsuspecting users.

If I am not mistaken it was just a fake advertisement or a scam,
This kind of scam happened before when accounts of influencial people's get hacked and post the same thing.

Yes, that was a scam, as others have said. There is another thread about it:

 Elon musk 5000 BTC give away scam ad (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5329774.0)

The problem is that due to Musk's fame and his purchase of Bitcoin for Tesla, surely many naive (and greedy) people have fallen for the scam.

I am sorry for your lost..I hope you learn a lesson. nothing is free in this world..

This kind of scam never gets old as long as there are people who will actually think someone will double the BTC they sent. Its like they didn't know that if BTC transactions are irreversible. Its unbelievable that OP looks for support here asking whether when he would get his BTC. Its common sense, we know Elon is rich but why would he do this kind of stuff.

Where did you see this campaign ? I am sure someone would have impersonated of being elon musk and started a fake social media campaign  ???
Elon musk would start such a ponzi scheme. I am afraid you are being scammed by someone nd won't get your money back.

How stupid is that?
Do people really believe this kind of act?

No one would just give a freebie nowadays and worse double the amount you send. Obviously, that is a scam.
Never believe anything especially if they want you to send a valuable item first. Money or cryptocurrency and even just the mere information about yourself.
Get up and do some labor to make money.
 

This may sound harsh but you're never going to get your bitcoin from elon musk. This is simply because you have been scammed. You have fallen victim of your own greed and covetousness.
This is actually one of the best tricks these scammers use. They pose as an influential person often using a look alike Twitter handle to lure unsuspecting victims to send money or coins promising to double them up just in time.
Personally I think it's your fault that you lost your coin. You shouldn't be greedy and you've learnt your lessons the hard way.

It's a one-way black hole, all bitcoin you sent to those addresses ends up in the mixing services and then returns to the scammers to get richer.
No one doubles your money for free, even keeping Bitcoin does not mean that its price will increase, it will be fixed at a certain level bitcoin value is what that increasing.

Where did you see this campaign (Elon Musk)? I Think you saw the add campaign. I think you saw the fake campaign coz no one will give you double profit.You have been scam by fake Elon Mask.You will not get payment or profit. So,learn from what has happened and move on.

Since you are already familiar with this forum why you never bothered to ask the authenticity of the so-called campaign here in forum before making any contribution to double your funds?
Well you heard it from all the members who respond to your post, there is no such campaign from Elon Musk,  if you truly send money over count it as part of your loss, try to be more careful next time, don't believe in every ad campaign you see on the Internet, always try to confirm as much as you can.

I'm Not sure if we should Put serious attention to this one because the He obviously Shitting around .

I go through His Post History and he is Knowledgeable enough to fall from Scamming some social media scammers put on the list.

So I know that this is not really happening and something that he is only playing here.

But Hope that he did not fall into trap .

People should understand that the Bitcoin double offer investment is always a scam and there's no way for them to called legit.  Elon Musk's identity is very popular and every influencing, there's no reason why hackers will not choose his profile to fool people and become their next victims.

Based on this  article  (https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-56402378) shows the number of giveaway victims was decreased this year,

but,.. the total amount that taking by give away scam seems like was increased.
https://i.imgur.com/pT62RAH.png

BTW, to OP,a sorry for your loss and I hope you will learn from these mistakes and don't let that it will happen next.

OP didn't respond to this thread yet, as I don't really believe that this is true and happened to him/er as this kind of scheme is too good to be true and known scam at any angle.

It is a scam. Please don't tell me you have sent them your coins!
If you have not, don't ever fall for it. Take a look at this post where it is been discussed. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5329774.msg56754829#msg56754829

There is nothing like free money or Bitcoin!

Lol, what I don't understand is how he even fell for it in the first place, and yet with so much money. Even though he is new to cryptocurrency, he isn't new to real-life and humans. It is obvious that anything (crypto or not) that 'assures' ×2 of your investment is definitely a scam. Most times you can even tell this from how assured/confident they sound.

The campaign is fake it's not coming from Elon Musk, obviously, you are not doing the research before sending your money, this kind of scheme has been going on for years now, and many scammers are motivated to create more fake giveaways like this, because of people like you who ignore to do research if the airdrop that they are going to participate is legit

Why are you so greedy and think you will easily get bitcoin from them?
I thought you were cheated by them after you hit the submit button and I bet you will no longer get the bitcoin they promised you.

Scammers always have a way of influencing people who fail to understand how dangerous it is to trust people on the internet especially when it come to money. The OP is one of the many victims of the scam who may only notice it after other users have told it. Unfortunately, this thread was created after the scammers got the money.

Dont expect because those coins are lost forever.Dont easily get fooled about easy money quick schemes because its is 101% scam.Even those tweets came from known person or
company but doesnt mean that those are legits.Come to think that accounts could really be hacked which hackers do really target out those popular profiles because they do know that
they can fool up people when the time they make use of it on illegal way or in means of easy money making baits which is mostly victimized out those newbies around.
So take this as a lesson learn because there's no such thing about easy money without doing anything.

you fall into the trap of con artists who frequently roam on Twitter and youtube...
it seems that it has often been discussed not to easily believe and be seduced by the lure of doubling the coins you have because it is certain that it is a scam. If you have already sent your coins to that scam site then don't expect your coins will come back.

Of course, the OP no longer appeared in this thread, it is an ordinary troll who admitted it himself. Most of what he wrote has been deleted, and besides, does anyone believe that people like him can have 0.3 BTC to send them around for such cheap scams?
