This isn't new, but eventually scammer copy BBC news site and announced fake doge giveaway. Discover that during browsing Facebook. But once I click the link then it was surprising to me, I was really confused. Once I look deeply then discover it's a fake giveaway site.

Here is another Tesla fake giveaway website:

As before scammers using the same template and just changed the domain name. I am assuming just one person or a group trying to scam this way. It's become the most common scam method nowadays. Just adding a domain name here to make awareness. Everyone should avoid any kind of greedy offer.

These scammers can do anything to trap victims. Posing as a popular News site to announce their scam airdrop. Wow!

I checked their scam Dogecoin giveaway address for the BBCnews.app website, and they managed to collect 10,892.42768184DOGE  (https://blockchair.com/dogecoin/address/DTESLA2XirGEu5ckzLj9xFiNDU6BqwWxkB) worth 2,587.00USD so far. The last incoming transaction was 6 hours ago.

People can be so greedy and end up falling for these scams.

At first I was like wtf BBC promoting a scam project?before I realised it was a clone site, are they ever going to get tired with Telsa and Elon musk?why do people fall so cheap to anything that has to do with Elon or bears his name. Two to pay four is nothing but a cheap scam yet I wonder why people keep failing after all these years

Bumping thread with another similar scam domain name investdoge.cf. I am not familiar with this kind of domain extension. Domain extension itself looking scammy to me. Not a surprise but this site has been advertising in Facebook ads. Guys just note this domain name and store it in mind as a scam site. The site just used the same script as before, just changing the domain name continuously. Avoid greed, stay safe.
