Stay away from this kind of giveaway!! Scam alert!!

Those 11,727 people watching are surely confused about what they are watching, I mean who could have tell them if those offers are true or false? if they don't know what's really going on, they might fall to the trap of the scammers.

Most likely, the fact that they watched the live streaming, that means they are interested with it and you are right, they might fall for the scam.

Since this guys are confused, is there any way to tell them that those giveaway is not true?

I expect that there are people in the chat that works for the scammer will try to convince people to invest or give some testimony that they receive the money. They have already planned all these things, and if someone watching is telling it's a scam, it will not win against the scammers as they have people and since they own the channel, they can kick anyone in the chat room I guess.

"suvo05" now you can move your topic to scam accusation. Usually people search scam related topics there and your topic information will help them to get ideas about fake giveways.

Youtube viewers like to watch new videos and specially when its crypto related. You can easily find many video contents on youtube which are actually fake but got massive amount of views. Basically scammers use attractive thumbnails on their video which help them to get good amount of view in a short time. In some cases they run paid ads to reach their targeted audiences.

People believed in these tweets because it came from high profile and someone who can be trusted easily but they forgot that the social media or other channels could be hacked as well. People right out believed in it but forgot the basic that there is always something off about if there is something which seems to good to be true.

There have been many breaches in the recent period of the accounts of famous people and a lot of people have become aware of these breaches, so they should not fall into this fraud and not send any currencies to these addresses.

I kept wondering if this is the latest way of scamming users now. Same information happened long time ago in the same way, many newbies could possibly fall to this kind of faulty giveaways. This is strictly a lesson covered.

High and verified profiles. You can now blame the people who sent money there, but to be honest, such an action would also suit someone like Elon Musk. Not so much Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, but definitely Elon Musk. Due to the time limit of the offer, pressure has been built up and someone who is new to the crytoscene can easily fall for it. Time pressure and greed can be a fatal mix.

I see it on youtube first, before those famous twitter accounts got hacked, I already see some fake giveaways imitating binance  and ETH (Vitalik) on youtube, these giveaways scams are not really good and youtube actions about it not really fast they don't have solution about it, those scams keep popping out. In the first place they should not allow fake ads to be published.

I'm quite surprised with the amount of profiles hacked in this attempt. The users who got tempted are probably the ones who were greedy enough to get their money doubled (in short, get rich quick) overnight and didn't give it a thought that it could be a scam. This shows that when (even) something like Twitter and can get hacked, how can we point fingers towards exchanges who give us top-notch security for our funds but still get hacked some day?

This because of lack of education and too much trust being set in the mind from the hearsay that cryptocurrency is one a fast and easy money to invest with. Here comes the scammer and open this investment scam then there many of them will fall for this trap. Besides we are global so expected our numbers here would be great and since there is a lack of education then this is the problem now that many will be scam.

It would be better to educate first the newcomers rather than just letting them roam around here and become a victim. I guess many are going to volunteer because it could be a mean of getting merits on their part.

Lack of education?
This forum has around 1000s of threads speaking the same old thing so not to get scammed (I mean, everyone here tries to save others by telling them their experience and how they got scammed). What kind of ^education^ are you talking about? It was literally greed and will always be, be it a newbie or an expert, I believe many expert in their own fields too got scammed in this and that's all due to greed. They could have searched about this and may have found many articles on such scam behavior, did they? Yes, I do understand that the number is big if we speak about the amount of people involved in crypto, but neither you nor me can save anyone from falling once they've made up their mind.

From my point of view, sometimes lack of education or don't have enough knowledge in cryptocurrency is not the main reasom why they get scammed or get tricked because it is mostly due to their greed that they don't listen on other people's advices. All they think is earning money in an easy way that there is no such thing because for you to get rich and have a successful life is to work hard and face every consequences or challenges in your life.
