I'm not a newbie in crypto and investing. I have been in the cryptosphere early 2017 when the price is ~$1k. But as time goes by, many social media services like Youtube and Twitter have been targeted by online crooks to scam many newbies. Just like what I have seen in the last couple of hours.

This is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJr9XtrFZUM

I would advise everyone that there's no shortcuts in earning BTC, either you invest or trade, no secrets whatever. And if you think that those crooks are giving away free BTC, then you are very wrong.

Why it takes for you three years to create an account here anyway you are right the new scam scheme right now are those coming from hacked Youtube channels where you will be given this amount of coins if you send them coins the amount of coins are very tempting and if you did not ask the community or any experts you are likely to fall.

As I have said, I'm a investor and I have offline business so I just lurk around this community, Seen the ups and downs but I'm still good. However, I can't take it anymore as countless newbies are beginning to fall for these crooks and taking their hard earn money. So might better to warn them.

you should report such scam videos to Youtube so that they can remove them from their platform. as they have been doing it already with a large number of scam videos using a wide variety of schemes to rob people of their bitcoins.

It's already happening from september 2019. As of the report of massive wave youbtube account hack , we should be more aware of this kind of scams . Also there is a post by TravelMug called "[Guide]: How To Report Fake Crypto Related Youtube videos" where explained all the details to report this kind of scam videos. It's look like the channel name was "TopTenz" by looking at the url https://www.youtube.com/user/toptenznet/ and it might be hacked probably within the last 12-13 hours ago because the last video was published by the real owner 12 hours ago from now.

Oh, my lord 5000btc giveaway seriously, this looks he is faking totally. We all should be more careful about this kind of free money. Thanks, buddy for sharing this piece of info. Ultimately no investment no earnings.

Ok it looks like that video has been taken down already.

This video has been removed for violating YouTube's Community Guidelines.

Maybe Youtube is really very active today because of this kind of exploits that we have seen in the last six months or so. Nevertheless, it was a good gesture from the OP to post this and gave warning probably there are members here who have reported it earlier, hence the quick hammer ban.

It's already happening from september 2019.

I think I remember Ripple giveaways happening since 2017 in youtube. Although not at this frequency.
Lately many active youtubers had their accounts hacked, changed name and used for this scam. Probably it is lucrative for the scammers, although the wallets they provide might display many fake transactions made by them, to lure people thinking it is legit giveaways.
