The offers are too good to be true; I feel it is AI-generated.

Promising double in five minutes of whatever amount in bitcoin or Ethereum that you send to an address that is on a website that you can access by scanning a QR code.



Scammers have used the same methods before to steal bitcoin many times, targeting new crypto users, tempting them with these offers, and putting them under pressure that the offer is time-sensitive.

Pretty common schemes happening in youtube and don't know why this platform let those scam videos like to spread freely there.

People watching those videos need to know that there's nothing like that could give them huge money by just doing nothing and if there's certain amount asked to increase their chance to win then its more better than they should think that video what they see is a scam. No one would give them an instant huge money because bitcoin and those people in video is not doing charity. That's why people should stop watching this video and immediately report it.

Awareness and caution are the main keys to avoiding this fraudulent method, by recognizing the mode of operation and characteristics of fraudsters, you can protect Bitcoin from bad people who never stop seeking wealth by deceiving others.
For investors or newbies who have just entered the world of Crypto, especially Bitcoin, it is necessary to underline that no money falls from the sky, avoid being greedy so as not to become their victim.

Anyone involved in cryptocurrencies should remove the term "giveaways" from their vocabulary to avoid regret. Even scammers force people to send amounts of their assets first before they can receive unbelievable profits, such as 200%, as in the case mentioned by OP.

Any new and unknown platform, regardless of its specialization, is promoted on YouTube, TikTok, or social media, urging people to deposit in exchange for receiving returns or prizes, often exploits the names of celebrities or popular brands, or uses AI to create near-realistic videos of these figures and present these irrational tempting offers. They should be avoided entirely without trying the minimum amounts required to be sent to participate. This scam has become clear, and losing 0.1 BTC or 1 ETH in it may indicate that the person lacks sufficient knowledge in this field.

since the video and the channel have been taken down, I can only assume that they used AI to copy Michael Saylo'rs voice and mouth movement, I remember seeing videos like that but with Elon Musk

I do not know what is happening on YouTube. But this is the channel that is Microstrategy that is registered in United States: https://m.youtube.com/@microstrategy

The one you posted is registered in India: https://m.youtube.com/@Microstrategy-y9c

That video is definitely belonging to scammers.

It is a scam.

On YouTube, click on 'report' to report it as soon as possible.

I wonder if they planned to copy the number of subscribers too, I mean the number of subscriptions in their channels was only 2k+ apart. anyway, looks like the @Microstrategy-y9c account has been banned(which is very surprising), can't find it on youtube anymore.

This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and it's not even the second time; neither will it be the last time. Michael Saylor has complained about this himself. I guess it was earlier this year. I can't find the link to the tweet, but it's obvious such AI videos have been going around trying to use it to scam victims. 
 
Those who fall victim to this type of scam are those who still believe there are means of getting free money out there and are also blinded by their greed; if not, where in Christ's name do those who offer to give you double of what you send to them get their own money from?

Hmm, How stupid approach to scam people, if they are using this that indicates it's working somewhere and it's disappointing that after the availability of information to this extent people are still getting scammed.

And that is the sad part, it's already 2024, and still people are falling for it. We have seen this kind of attempts or attacks many times already and have been warned newbies as well. But I guess there will be no scammers if there are no victims.

So it means that there are still people who falls for this trap and so it's going to continue, unfortunately. But we should continue to give them warning in this community like this thread and for sure there are newbies, maybe registered or not registered that might read it and see our comments. Self awareness is still the key for us to not be the next statistics and lose money to this criminals.

I might have made the same comment over why people will never stop to get scammed. It is because we don't always recognize all kind of scamming scheme. Even sometimes, when we thought that we are already smart and experienced enough not to get scammed, we could be wrong too. People who are smarter become victims precisely because they think it can’t happen to them because maybe it catches them on a bad day. There is an article from The Harvard Gazette which stated that scams affect people regardless of age, income levels, education, and IQ.

AFAIK, these channels if they have huge amount of subscribers have been hacked through these cons idea of giving them some partnership and sponsor deals or advertising opportunities. They give some link where these outright owner of big channels to sign up but those are phishing links and that's where the magic happens. Once the scammer takes over of the credentials and login details, they're replacing the real channel with their scamming name and put up a running video about these giveaways. I've seen a lot of this 2016-2017 and up until now, they never stopped.
