Thanks for reporting. Hopefully they will take action against these scammers. Nowadays fake giveaway websites are coming in large numbers, which is very dangerous for newcomers. The main reason for these websites to come is the rising price of Bitcoin. We have seen before that when the price of Bitcoin goes up, the number of scammers increases. So now we have to be very careful.

Its not only websites, but also in form of youtube channels also. There are many ways where scams could get good attention as in: facebook groups, some telegram individual promoting it, youtube channels, website , twitter and many. People should know to verify opportunities which are too good to be true. There is always something fishy about them.

You are right. Now scammers are using all kinds of mediums to scam. Even a fake giveaway video I saw on Youtube, giving paid advertising. This video has spread to a huge number of people. In this way, the newcomers can fall into their scam easily because of this paid ad. In order to warn the newcomers about this, we should expose the scammers before their intentions succeed.

So far no reply from Namesilo, I will make a follow up if they didn't reply or will try to find out who to escalate this kind of issues. Yes, I agree that this is really dangerous, specially that newbies just blindly believed everything they see specially earning very easy money. The attack became rampant because of the block halving itself.
