This is just an evidence or another evidence that people will always be people, some are smart, some have learned, some are still novice and some are not just wise to avoid how scammers can scam them. This type of giveaway like paying paying before receiving the free money is no more new, but people are still getting scammed with it, if another one is out today, yet many people will be the victim. Is even paying before given a free giveaway, free giveaway should be without paying for it before receiving the free money. But just that if another one is out again, many people will pay into scammers account and get scammed again and again.

That trick is as old as Methuselah. I don't think many people will fall into the trap, but it is profitable for them if only a small percentage do. A similar scam was also seen on Youtube, where you saw a video of Saylor, saying that MSTR gave a free Bitcoin giveaway, and asked to send you Bitcoin first. 

How can I report it to google?

New people are entering the crypto market every day, and given the current state of the crypto market, it is easy to assume that there are more new investors now than ever before. And using this opportunity, the scammers are using an old scam technique to achieve their purpose.

In fact, most of the victims of such scams come to the crypto market with the intention of making a quick profit, so they wait for every opportunity and easily fall into the trap of scammers.

This trick maybe is old but some people got tricked and already sent money to scammers address, maybe because there is google written in address bar.
You can use this google website for reporting phishing and scam:

Yeah, such type of scams is very old, but as long as they find people who will fall into it, scammers don't have any reason to stop or create something new. Especially considering that this thing was hosted on Google Sites, so, it didn't cost anything for scammers. And unfortunately, this scam is still online...

Damn, you forced to Google who is Methuselah :D. Never heard such comparison, but that's good one.

ahahahah its about people's and people will never know how eassy they got scamed by a single tesla image.why i will send btc to a random guy?

Its simple to define a scam giveaway nowadays and we can already tag one of them if they are asking payments before you can join, They should call it raffle since they ask money if they are legitimate in the first place but anyways new kiddos should be warned about this since this kinds of tesla giveaways are been used for so many times and mostly they post this on facebook,twitter,youtube or every social media platforms.

I found this .... but this time the template is different whether I just saw it or what but this is quite elegant what scammers use in Tesla giveaways.
