Scam giveaways now already spread all over the social medias account, like in
twitter which they are all over, replying to some famous crypto user with such image, an impostor of some big crypto profile. This is very alarming for every newbie out there, especially it is social media, everyone can see those posts/comments.
I recently found this kind of scam on Facebook.

They are waiting for a particular Facebook page to post something and they will start to post about their fake giveaways using their fake accounts or impostor account.
Example:This is the post of original facebook page..

But some of the facebook page already notice their followers that they are NOT doing such giveaways and warn their followers.

Very alarming isn't it?
They are all over the facebook, not only on one facebook page.
How you can avoid this?Try this:
[Mobile only, not sure on desktop version]
I found another solution how you can avoid to see this kind of comments on every post on some famous crypto facebook pages/accounts.
If you will look on the comments, you can see a drop down, which will sort the comments, based on
Most relevant,
Newest,
All comments.
By default, it is set by
Most Relevant, but this can be effective if there are already a lot of comments, because it will just sort and avoid some spam/scam comments. Check the screenshot I uploaded below for more information about this feature on the comment section of every posts.
Again, it is still the best to report the posts if you encounter these kinds of comment/posts.![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FzpWgS2p.png&t=665&c=0tSvG_4UjmWSZQ)
Another solution:
Always double check the profile of every account in social media before you make a transaction since it is really easy to create a fake or impostor account.
Protect your bitcoin against scammers, never trust your bitcoin with other people. Always READ and think before you click.
