Kindly help me report this.

And this is another link included in the description.

What search keywords did you use to find this vid? It was published 2 weeks ago and barely with just 20+ views.

Reported it, hoping youtube do their job against such frauds.

That was quick, the video stream is already down:


And it's good if Youtube are going to remove it very quick so that no newbies are going to fall for it.

What already removed!!
That was pretty fast for YouTube, in general you keep reporting such shits and they keep ignoring your report.

But good to read that, thankfully only few people saw it and I hope no one fall for it.

YouTube is now acting fast they removed it immediately

I hope they will do it fast on other future reports, in the past there are scam giveaways that took weeks before they are taken down if they are going to do it this fast it will save a lot of people from getting scam.

But base on my experience on reporting scam youtube streams, sometimes they remove it very quick, but most often, it will took then days to remove it. So I would say that they are still very inconsistent as far as removing these fake and scam videos on their platform.

In fact, I saw before about the fake YouTube giveaway that it didn't last long, it means that YouTube is very fast in responding if someone reports it.

For the removal of their video in this fraud, it may also take a lot of reports to be firmly acted on and deleted.

Ahh sometimes like this it appears again.

It's pretty much a hit-or-miss thing across socmed platforms due to the sheer number of reports. More than a week ago, I reported an (inactive) impersonator of another brand on Twitter. Until now, it's still up.

And then those fake apps on Google Play.

Those channels who give fake giveaways will be automatically terminated by the youtube as per their new policy on Spam, deceptive practices, & scams  (https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2801973?hl=en#zippy=%2Cmisleading-metadata-or-thumbnails%2Cincentivization-spam%2Ccomments-spam%2Ccandidate-eligibility%2Cvoter-suppression-and-suppression-of-census-participation%2Cmanipulated-media%2Cdistribution-of-hacked-materials%2Cscams%2Cvideo-spam).
If you found any such thing on any channel, just report the channel and video, youtube will take care of it.

Just used this keyword now

"gemini 5000 btc giveaway"



It's Elon Musk face and not the twins but the intention is still the same, 200++ have seen the video already because it has been uploaded last November 30, 2020 (during bitcoin massive run). And hopefully no one sent bitcoin to this scammer.

I have reported it already.

To be honest i see some real problems with "free givaways" and people just knowing a little bit about cryptos.
In general i think we could sum this up:
"No one will ever give away real money or BTC." Ofc there are real, correct, airdrops happening on bitcointalk or on exchanges. But giving away 9k BTC is just like the "Free BTC from Tesla Givaway" which appeared about 1-2 years ago.
Also new people should realise, that they will most likely not become a millionaire with only investing 50$ in to cryptos. This time is over for several years now, i am thinking about bitcointalk pizza transaction ;)

You just have to try and use your imagination. Keywords like "Fake BTC giveaway" and such.

For those who are interested, you can read my thread here: [Tutorial]: How to search for Scam Giveaways in Youtube (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5300173.0).

The video was already taken down by YouTube. Can't they create an algorithm that deals with these crypto giveaways that are certainly fake and scam? They should monitor all of these if they protect their users, content creators and audiences.
They will never stop unless people keeps on reporting them and YouTube taking down one by one. But they are popping like mushrooms everywhere and YouTube must take this seriously if they get massive reports for such videos.
