Another good catch, and digging further on this website:


https://whois.domaintools.com/eth-event.biz

Just created a week ago out to scam people just like the rest of the cyber criminals out there. And then looking at its ip address, it has been used already by these criminals in the past.

Wow $31million for giveaway? They could affect the current price of eth for this promotions if it were real!

Nice find OP, looks bitcoin and ethereum are the target of all scammers eversince their price increased a lot. Someone says the rate of scam increases as the price keep increasing. With this kind of scam, I doubt there will be victims of it. Even the wallet address have eth balance lets assume that probably is not a victim but an accomplices of this bogus promotions.

Thanks for inspiring and thanks also for add some new information about the site. I just simply forget to add the domain information in the OP.

Yes, those who are running fake giveaways are registered for some days, after fail/steal some bucks create another site for another popular coin/same.

Crypto multiplier giveaway, this may be a lot discussion for now because the Twitter case a few days ago. Maybe for community  bitcointalk and other experienced cryptos already know a scam. They have penetrated into all social media including YouTube ads, that's crazy, for common people who are interested it is a disaster for them.
This is the same method

Have you ever heard of FAKE Elon Musk giveaways? Here is one... (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5261507.msg54862167#msg54862167)

People who read important posts over time on Bitcointalk are not victims of such scams. Because they know that these giveaways are made for scam purposes only. (Scammers use the names of the most popular people to scam.) But there are users of Bitcointalk who are victims of such scams, mainly because they do not know about the scam and they are greedy. Hopefully they will be alert in the near future. The Bitcointalk community is working hard to protect community members from scammers.

Definitely a giveaway like this will continue to happen considering that prices continue to soar the scamer will continue to end up doing this with their tricks so still if you find a giveaway that doesn't make sense and use the name ofopopler then we have to report it here so users know and newbies see all of this.
And to be honest, I was tired of seeing the attitude of these scamer to be stupid.

If i am not wrong then all these ETH related fake giveway projects are running by the same group of scammers. Just take a look on their web template which is pretty much simillar with other fake giveway websites. Although their website looks like a Microsoft word sketche page to me which actually full with all fake transactions list. They are just using different domain and using the same template with slightly different color.

What a cheap idea to complete their scam game by blending doubler and fake giveway together.


Actually its getting harder for them to raise fund through scam ICO and ponzi projects now. Its because they know modern age crypto investors are enough careful about projects background, team, whitepaper and roadmap. So this time they are trying to refill their wallet through this kinda fake giveways where they don't need to spend too.much for developing the project.
