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

[erikoy]

Whoever fall for this scams will fall for anything because there is nothing like crypto giveaway that will tell you to send part of your coin in order to get double. This is completely dump. Despite of media report of this scam giveaway, people are still falling for it daily https://twitter.com/whale_alert/status/1287409105704038401?s=20

This because many are desperate to.earn though others still being careful with transaction by giving a little amount just to try how it really true but then since it is a scam.the  pretty sure after giving a part of bitcoin and the promise to double it does not happen then even the little part of it being given was then being scam already.

Bitcoin giveaways is an old trick.in scamming but still it is very effective. Many are being still scam on this because of lack of education.

What a way to trick newbies. But let's face the fact, is like YouTube is concern with the money they are collecting from advertiser and not the content. This video has been reported and I am still amazed that it is still up and running. It is only those who are doing genuine videos that will be receiving strikes. 

[LogitechMouse]

These are just 2 of the so many videos in Youtube right now that is an obvious scam attempt. What's worse is that many are still falling to this kind of trap. That crypto doubler in an instant still exists. Poor investors but anyway like I always said, investors will not learn if they will not experience it so let them be scammed so that they will learn from it :facepalm:

Scams in the name of cryptocurrencies were increasing more and more in the global market. For some reason, the lack of understanding has made people easily be a prey for it. In recent days the youtube scam is openly found, apart from that scams like forsage were all getting common man's attention.

Be alert guys.   They made the channel name Foxnews which is fake of course and they are streaming an @ethglobal video.

Thank you for the information. A lot of scammers are always there, especially now that bitcoin price is increasing, a lot of investments offer very high returns which can make somebody to invest without knowing this can lose his money. I guess this is not new to us what the important is will inform anyone if theres anything to be alert of.

some youtubers in my country have many hacked YouTube accounts, so scammers do live streaming with the same crime mode, I always report every video that I find like that and report as spam or mark as fraud, many cases like this and not only only on social media but also to the YouTube platform, hopefully the culprit is caught, the more important thing is there are still many beginners who want to send their money to get a lot of money, they should realize there is nothing free in this world

If you are in crypto world for a good period of time then I am sure that you already notice this kind of scam attempt. Newbies should be wary of it especially those greedy ones who like to earn a huge money without doing anything.

Their laziness will surely their losses if they will fall to this kind of trick. For us who have known this trick for a good period of time, it will be best if we will do our part like we will report @ethglobal video to youtube so they will be banned permanently.
And we will keep doing it even if they will create a new streaming channel again as our small way in fighting the scammers.

I was late reading this one but I still appreciate people who will make efforts to warn everyone especially us, here in the crypto industry.
But, why is this still in Bitcoin Discussion?

Anyway, how you get this kind of video?
Is it being recommended by Youtube because you are looking for something that is near that?
Mine is full of kids show, food, sports, and some in trading. But I have never been recommended for that kind of video. Never.
I am just curious coz that's how Youtube works.

[adzino]

Nothing new. Scams videos and channels like these can be seen every day. It has been going on for months. There was fake SpaceX channel too. They usually buy youtube channels with fake subscriber, change the name and then starts advertising these scams.
Sad people still fall for this kind of scams. I mean why would someone believe they will get free money for sending money to a random dude?

[BuNga_cute]

This is a method often used by scammers, by offering giveaway and make doubling money instantly. In my opinion many people
are too greedy, so do not think logically before acting. So there are still many victims who are deceived, even though it's very simple,
just stop sending money to strangers by expecting more money.

true, nowadays people want to get instant profits without seeing the pros and cons before taking action. added the day that fraud always carries out renewable innovations and if we are careless in anticipating it, we can be sure that we will be lulled and in an instant what we want to hope for and will disappear and is not proven.

we are given reason to think clearly, do not believe too much that there will be people with beautiful words offering something without any request behind it, especially new people known.
all treatments are not free, of course there is a separate intention to expect reciprocity from all gifts.
this principle should be a benchmark if someone offers something, it can be ascertained that there are certain elements behind it.

Thaks to OP for the head up. I have a question. Why will anyone give me money for free? Look at them and you will never trust the way they started. if I invest 20 ETH, they will give me back 40ETH. Is it a joke? Although they have nice setup, they are organized and it seems they were taking preparation for this scam attempt. And only newbie and greedy people will set foot into their trap. We should report the video, I have already reported the video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoQX4hElcSU&feature=emb_rel_pause
Please make commment on the video also.

I've never understood why people are willing to go to such lengths to scam people. If you are going to put in that much work, why not just do it the correct way?

Once you are greedy or desperate of getting rich quick then you might as well gonna do this.

Everyone is capable of doing something when they were desperate in needs but for the people who only did it for fun has something in their minds which is needed to repair. Although this kind of scheme is not new to me but for the people who encounter it first should ask someone for help and stop falling to this kind of trap.

This is somehow similar to the the image asking for sympathy like "type amen before you scroll down" in Facebook and many other pages with different kinds of tricks. I will elaborate them all since it might take more time but people please be wary and do your own research before you click.

'Desperate times call for desperate measures.' Have you heard that expression before? I guess so. But this is the job of individuals who don't have the conscience that they are ripping someone else's hard-earned money, those who can swallow the fact that they are eating someone else's food. And there are a lot of people like that. With cyber scammers, they don't care where they got the money, as long as they got it, that's what matters to them. So if you are a crypto user, don't be tempted with these too-good-to-be-true offers, because there's nothing like that.

This has been going on for a while apparently. The way how it works is, the hackers will send phishing email's to various YouTube channel owners usually posing as a sponsor or a monetization company. The sad thing is, YouTube isn't doing anything to prevent these kind of attacks.

[panganib999]

Surely, we can expect nothing less from those scammers because once their scheme have already been spilled out or have already known by the public and have been aware of it, they will surely get back with something new and a lot more innovative to victimized other people. They always inhibit the saying of "If there's a will, then there is always a way". Scammers as well as hackers will surely do anything for the sake of money and that pushes them and motivates them to get along a new trick or way on how to scam or hack other people to obtain their property and make it their own.

Good thing that there is always a member of this forum who always keep every other member be aware of such new scam schemes so that no other people will be victimized by such actions. May this serve as an alert notification for everyone to always be alert on keep themselves safe from such and as much as possible distance themselves from getting caught up on those scam tricks.
