Title: Not just another Fake BTC giveaway Post by: cryptomaniac_xxx on July 14, 2020, 07:33:26 AM Yes, I know we have seen a lot of fake BTC giveaways in the past.

We even have a thread about them, Two Pro-Bitcoiners Bid For US Election 2020 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5260507.0). And that vanity address on Kanye, looks legit specially for newbies.

The core objective public in thos specific case, besides anyone gullible enough to fall for it, would be American citizens (due to the context), whom normally, one would say, are less prone to falling for this than others.

Very clever of those scammers, they jump on this noise and now have victimised specially that Kanye West vanity address. I suspect that they are spreading this kind of malicious sites through social medias like Twitter or Discord which is a save haven now for scammers.

Apparently it looks like those scams are still working for some reason. 🤦♂️ Title: Re: Not just another Fake BTC giveaway Post by: pakhitheboss on July 15, 2020, 09:18:56 AM What we’ve yet to know here, is how traffic is driven over to those two websites, whether it is by means of placing Google Ads with related keywords, through social media and such, or alternative drivers.
