Scammers are back with another trick. Be alert!!!

[Latviand]

People should be reminded to consider the word giveaway as a very strong red flag.

Once you have read "giveaway" in their title, start to doubt their content.

People will not give you an easy money, especially that it is not that easy to earn cryptocurrency nowadays. Scams are scams, you need to know the difference between the true and fake offers.

I just tried to access the video it has been brought down. I hope nobody has fell for the cheap scam yet. It is very absurd to work legitimately and other lazy people rip you off of your sweat.

I also tried to visit the link and the video is unavailable already. Hoping that we should be careful about the existing scams that can victimized a lot of people. You can read a lot of information in this forum so that you are aware about those scams that was already reported and also spread new information about those happenings.

Definitely, there are people that has been victimized by this and most likely the victims are the ones who are new to the crypto game. People who have the money but doesn't have the know how to determine which ones are scams and which ones are legit. We need to be sure that we constantly give out these kinds of warnings on this forum to help everybody especially the new ones.

Lazy newbies and greed old timers are prone to scammers they are really the best line in terms of victims as they are not doing their jobs to study and research.

People who have the money but doesn't have the know how to determine which ones are scams and which ones are legit.

The problem with those people who are keep being scam is they are not patient enough to deal with their assessment, they just keep pushing forward.

We need to be sure that we constantly give out these kinds of warnings on this forum to help everybody especially the new ones.

Being active and always pay attentions with news regarding to new styles of scam is very important, take time to read and lessen your chance become a victim.

I have heard this one scamming people even doing a streaming video on YouTube mostly nowadays people are in need of financial during this pandemic we experience. This is an awareness, especially to newbies, do not fall to this kind of scam. Once other people asking for money and promise a return of big profit, and a big giveaways it is a prominent scam.

[Lenwa07]

How will we know if there's a scam? I stopped doing forum when I've been scammed in my first bounty. So what are the new tricks? how they scammed people in the midst of pandemic? Is there any way to stop them? I am here to seek again for opportunities to earn and learn.

Scammers are back with their old method but with another new trick. Currently, they are streaming video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoQX4hElcSU&feature=emb_rel_pause, with the video title 100000 ETH giveaway. Be alert guys.   They made the channel name Foxnews which is fake of course and they are streaming an @ethglobal video.

THey have been doing this for quite some time now. Just don't follow random giveaways unless you trust the source. Have you seen what they're doing with the youtube ads? Same MO, they say there's a big giveaway and are using youtube as a platform.

It's time for google to get on top of their advertisers content....

Due to covid19 people are continiously losing their job and its getting hard for them to manage fund for their family.
In this worst situation scammers are taking the chance and offering free giveways to attract people. Even on recent twitter hack they have mentioned on their posts that they are giving free bitcoins to help people during corona situation. Huh. Shame on these guys who are stealing peoples fund during this pandemic. Actually they have no humanity and thats why i always call them heartless.

Running after free giveways is nothing but waste of time. Their main intention is just to make some easy money by creating a 100$ website. Keep ignoring and submit report to youtube authority whenever you find any fake giveway related live streaming or video advertisement.

This video has been deleted by Youtube for violating Youtube guidelines. Around the world people are starving for food,on the other side people go jobless, parallel to this government tries to find a solution for the same. Till now there is development in creation of more and more vaccine, but none has reached the market. In reality it'll take more than a year for the same. Until then majority of the people spend time watching Youtube. This is being used as an opportunity by the scammers and whenever we see such videos on live streaming it is our duty to report to the youtube team.

[desticy]

I don't know if they change addresses on the site, I'm almost sure not. But at the moment this address is empty, I'm pretty sure not.
While the counter on the site shows that Ether is being sent to them.



Just in case, I'll blank out the address so that no one has ever thought of any stupidity.

They use the situation as advantage , I also see many scam investment that promise to give high return in news  social media channel in my local country . They translated it in local then reply about the scheme in every new news update they given. We need to accept that many people will use social media platform to scam people. they will use different way like giveaway and investment scheme But there is really only one thing they want to do and that is to be able to scam people and earn money in a bad way  even in the midst of a crisis and many are in need.

It's funny that, judging by the transaction history displayed on the site, it seems that funds are sent every couple of minutes, while Etherscan shows that the wallet is empty and there was not a single transaction with it.
Everything looks like they are returning a double amount, but I think those who know how to send funds to the Ether wallet have already learned how to check it in Etherscan .

I don't believe that news. It is no other way for us to send some amount to them, and they will send it back to us with a double amount. But I am afraid that many people who watch that video will interest and send the amount because they think it is easy money for them. We need to be careful and don't follow what they say because if we follow them, we will lose our money without making a profit.

What news you are talking about, did you just read what he is telling.

I am baffled with these type of scams as everyone in the community knows that this is the new trend and still these scammers are making a lot of money and these scammers are gone beyond and started hacking celebrity accounts to carry out these type of scams. People this dumb should learn the lesson the hard way and i have no sentiment against them.

We can get important lessons from this case. First, the fraudsters will make a lot of false evidence to justify that they actually give a reward twice the deposit made, even though it is fake. And as you explained, people who truly understand this situation will not be easily fooled and will certainly analyze it directly through etherscan, even if there is a transaction, it is better to check the wallet address, so they can make transactions back and forth to their wallets alone.
Second, do not be easily influenced by bait or large rewards, especially with the condition that you have to send some funds, it is really ridiculous.

every time the mode used by fraudsters will always keep abreast of developments, fraudsters will always be one step ahead to do such dishonorable things. but every time we also always get updated information so as not to follow and experience things we don't want.

everyone is not forbidden to determine his destiny, but if you commit fraud in a way that is not commendable is very disappointing because maybe the people who are deceived are not who have more money or rich people.

if the deception of what the colleague said above certainly often happens by asking for something or providing assistance but asking for a fee for the work to be done. indeed sometimes those who experience confusion over problems and are helped are certainly very happy, but the reality received is not as predicted.

Not just doubt, I encourage everyone to just consider it scam by default if there is a "giveaway" in their title. Anything that offers free giveaway is scam unless proven otherwise. Any amount of doubt should be enough for it to be altogether dismissed as a scam. This is for safety's sake. It is better to generalize and be safe rather than take the chance and be sorry.

Sometimes, it is very hard to tell which is real and which is fake. So just set strict parameters and say no to free giveaways. After all, if it ended up real, the amount freely given away must be very little.

They are scammers and a mind with good condition will never fall in these type of scams.
I have also encountered many news that these scammers hack many big channels and do live streams and asks for donations in Bitcoins.
So we should always be careful against these types of scams.
Hope no one has yet fallen into these type of cheap trucks.

[Lorence.xD]

That is a very big help, you can move this post to the Beginner's or make another thread there, there are newbies there and I think that this is really helpful.

Did they report this scam to the proper authority or Youtube is still letting it go astray because they pump in numbers? Can the address be blacklisted so that they can't move the stolen funds?

I find this scammers really admirable because they are trying the most obvious scams that have been long busted and they can still garner a profit, this persistence is admirable and disgusting at the same time, to all the victims of this scam or any other kind of scam, I hope you learned your lesson because the second and third is pretty pathetic for you.

They aren't admirable, they are so disgusting, no one should admire their wrong doings towards cryptocurrency. Maybe these fake giveaway scheme is very effective for them as newbies in this platform are ignorant about the scams that was already existing.

In beginners & help, they can read a lot of information there where different ways of scammers are being reported.

Also in Scam Accusations, there are a lot of thread where they can look for those happening a and become aware what scam is.

Making mistakes should be done once and the same mistakes are unacceptable and you should shame yourself if you're getting scammed repeatedly. Learn from it and observed how they work so that you will not be fooled the next time you see their fake giveaways or attractive title that uses "EARN", "FREE GIVEAWAYS" and etc.

[supine]

This kind of trick should be exposed and a great job for OP so that there wouldn't be more victim of this scam trick that they are now using.
People who are new would surely fall easily to this kinds of schemes that is why we need to do our best to save them and to make sure that this scammers wouldn't get anything.

Thanks for your news. Scammers are always use new tricks. Those who have not enough knowledge about crypto currency they easily believe giveaway or other offer. Scammers take this chance. Scammers tell them invest here i will double it or bla bla. So be careful and gather enough Knowledge before invest or anything like this.
