"You can only participate once. If you try to participate more than once, your BTC will be automatically refunded. " => How they know how many times I can participate?

 The giveaway is not legit looking at it. Steve Wozniak is an Apple co-founder and they are no good reviews on this giveaway. It could be some scammers with another strategy of making money. In this cryptocurrency market, nothing is free to be sincere. You must work to earn a single coin. So they are working to see you lose your coin while they earn from you. Giving you $2 after sending $1 is because they want you to send more, as simple as that and also they look at you to send a positive review about them so that others will fall prey to their format. Be careful with your money and focus on learning a skill that will earn you bitcoin rather than researching on Giveaways.

This is the classic fake giveaways we have seen in the past using famous names, Bill Gates, Vitalik Buterin, Elon Musk. I advise you to visit this board Scam Accusations. So the answer is yes, this are fake, no one in their right mind will give you something for free, specially in cyrptosphere. There are a lot of scammers out there, so you need to be very cautious, just because you received twice as much money you send them doesn't mean that they are not scammers.

Totally agree, very suspicious. But even without the username as a giveaway, it would still be suspicious. If you say "I made 100% profit from this, is it legit?", then you're not really asking the question, you are just encouraging other people to get involved by suggesting they can double their money.

I would stay well away from that site.

[DabsPoorVersion]

Are you really asking if this is real or you are up to something?

Many have done this style before. But to answer your question, it is fake and no one is interested in this kind of scam. Every user here is already knowledgeable about the investment scheme, so, you better stop spreading scams.

This is a classic scam that started on twitter.

Don't believe someone will just send you doubled or tripled the amount you sent them. That's an obvious scam.

This is the very reason why youtube is banning crypto-related on their platform in the past few months.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5242169

Even Brad Garlinghouse of ripple has sued them over someone using his name&likeness in the cryptospace to get away with proliferating these scam on there.

Clear cut why they have had anything to do with crypto in their cross hairs.
Thanks alot garlinghouse!

I do not agree with chico crypto and do not like their channel but they were the only one who directly saw xrp's law suit as the main reason why youtube/google had been doing this to the crypto youtubers since then.

This is Fake, the trick is in the 1 chance they give, that way, people make a small depo and then try to go big, or call their friends to do it. Bit amounts will be lost, that's a fact. So, the best thing to do is stay away from that kind of offer.

People should understand money doesn't grow in trees, if it looks like easy money, then it's 99% fake.

[sinta23]

Nice trick to scam people on bitcointalk dude.
Make a thread with newbie account then ask about "real or fake" its suspicious thing.
This is totally scam 99%,please be aware

[rosepetals]

I think it's a way to catch up attention to people who wants easy money sending 1$ and they will send it back 2$ , I think we must not fall to this scheme inorder that we will not become a victim of scammers.

[kayvie]

A doubler, huh. It is obvious that it is fake. Scam like this should be avoided, don't waste your time.

I think it's a way to catch up attention to people who wants easy money sending 1$ and they will send it back 2$ , I think we must not fall to this scheme inorder that we will not become a victim of scammers.

It's true, only those who wanted easy money will fall on this scam, it is a good to be true promise that we should never try, there is no such thing as easy money.

[nomenclatur]

You are right. It is better not to post this kind of thread here. Users or investors of this forum know about this issue. But those who are newbie here may be affected. So we should all avoid these issues. And one should not expect any achievement without hard work.

Its scam there are many post something like this before and they will not double your money, there is no reasons to do that and by the way they will not also refund the balance you send since they are just using a fake giveaway .

I remember a scam like this using the name of Satoshi fake giveaway and use fake website almost the same as bitcointalk they are just changing one letter in domain.

Of course this is fake, and you are a blatant liar! You never sent anything to that address. Nobody did. And, hopefully, no one will.

[KrisAlex18]

That is a classic scam, there is no a website that will make your money double, that is an obvious scam buddy, do not try that because I am once scam-related on that thing, it offers to double your money for only 24 hours, I have learned my lesson from that, there is no easy money in this crypto world, you will earn money for all the hard works and efforts you will give for something.

Always so research when trying some website because there are a lot of fake websites made by hackers, always read reviews before trying it.

[Ailurophile]

This is fake it is too good to be true and just like your question how would they know if it was the same person who already sent some money to them?
They are only making those rules to make it look real but we all know that this kind of deal isn't real and if they were real why would the participants need to send money if they are giving out money?

[Zeke_23]

Fake,

You can send any amount of Bitcoin (between 0.1 BTC - 20.0 BTC) and we will airdrop back the correct amount that you are eligible for

Seeing only this,

If the transaction does not process properly, please try by sending the same amount to the BTC address again, and it should go through. Your original transaction will be refunded as you can only participate once.

And this, everyone can easily tell their real intention. Do you really think that an airdrop is something that you have to send money first before you received the amount eligible for you?
Also, read the second quotation, "if the transaction does not process properly, please try sending the same amount to the BTC address again", after you get scammed once, they will try to get you again by telling you to send the same amount. lol.

If it sounds too good to be true,it probably is.Enjoy your $1 profit OP,you will get scammed if you send a big sum worth of BTC.
Yesterday,my Youtube video feed was full of weird videos,which state that  Elon Musk,Steve Wozniak or Bill Gates are turning towards the crypto industry,so they are running big giveaways.
Most of the streamed videos had several thousand people watching.I guess those are fake stream viewers.
You can buy Youtube stream watchers on specific websites.Now,when I search Youtube for those streams,I can't find anything.I guess that Youtube is doing a good job deleting those scams.
