This is very sad to know that YouTube is one of the biggest platform for video sharing and uploading and most of the people in cryptocurrency already know that all these things are scam but unfortunately no one can do something because whenever we report about fake airdrop Google response nothing and many new people stucked here but we have to educate them

The video has already been removed. Youtube is sadly a common platform for scam because it's easy to gain audience, set up a live stream and Youtube doesn't deal with them fast enough to ensure that the scammers fail. I remember a scammy live stream of Binance impostors that was going on for days before Youtube took it down, even though others and me reported it. And it seems to me that often the hackers don't make new accounts but hack some channels and rename them instead. So perhaps Youtube should work on improving security, so that it's harder to do such things.

Can someone quickly summarize what they were talking about in the video?


Then i assume they post a btc address and said okay send some here?  And if so, what reason they give?

I haven't seen the video yet and it has been removed by Youtube for violating the guidelines. it seems that many have reported the video so that youtube deleted it. So I don't know what the content creator is talking about.

BTW, scammers are always looking for ways and always find new ways to take your money. it seems like using the youtube platform to promote a scam is an easy way to get victims. Therefore, we must always be vigilant and careful in investing, especially cryptocurrency.

YouTube already took it down which is a good thing after all. I have already seen a lot of scam activities on YouTube since it's a huge platform where scammers can attract a lot of potential victims. That's is why YouTube needs to step up and improve how they take action towards this kind of scams to protect its users.

Most YouTube scams are not new anymore so we are already familiar with how it works but sadly, some people still fall for it because of the lack of awareness.  Since we are aware of these tricks, it's best to report it whenever we see something suspicious and give awareness to other people.

Old scam method, if you follow the B&H section then yiu can see lot of threads regarding the scam giveaway liven on hacked YouTube accounts.Luckily the video has been removed quickly than before hope YouTube will take some action against the hacks of accounts too often.

AFAIK in the past there's channel named "Live News" too promoting scam, but the subscriber is 1.8 million while this channel only have 196K. I've already reported the channel and I hope you doing same.

Famous youtubers in my country got hacked by "Live News" too displaying crypto related contents. People should be wary about this one, this has been rolling for a very long time now and still people are giving cents about it. If you guys see any channel name "Live News" make a personal verification on it to youtube, you can easily distinguish it with your subscription, if it turns out a scam channel just give it a report.

These scams have always existed and will continue to exist.
Bitcoin is chosen as the best way to cheat (no tracking)
Also, please do not give any money to anyone without enough information.
And it should be noted that the probability of getting rich overnight is very low and it happened to very special people.
Stop dreaming.

As long as there are bewbie's seeking for opportunity and lazy for researching some thing on what need to avoid then there always be a scam incident will happen, this doings will not fade since if money is involve in transactions for sure people will always do that and will be find more appealing ways to steal money from the people they fool.

I remember some thread before here and it's all about a youtube video that's giving unrealistic results about trading. Although it is still part of the scam where people give something to the vloggers in exchange of their fake information about how they trade. But in reality those people doesn't have a clue yet what is the real movement of the market. That's why I agree with you that people should practice doing their own research if they don't know what they were facing.

This is what we can do with this, report it right away so no other people will fall for it. Good that it's already reported, we can also inform other people about this scams, specially friends and families. We're getting tired of explaining about bitcoin but we shouldn't be tired of informing them about these scams cause we are the ones informed about this. But somehow there is a bad side in informing them the scams only cause maybe they will see the currency as a scam as a whole. But I hope they see it as a warning, and understand right away that we are concerned and we aren't scammers here. There are just bad people in every industry.

70k people is alot ,  i wonder how did he got so much viewers . its possible that it can be a victim of hack , hackers target high valued accounts and make thier scam activities on that channel , just like what happen recently where a gamer youtuber got hack with over a million and two subscribers . whats worst is that his contents were eraased and name and other infos were modified  . no one will fall to it  because all of his subscribers are into gaming not into crypto and they will easily suspect if they see a non gaming video .

It came to my youtube also today. I have reported it instantly. Btw this kind of scams will come and run always. I don't know how google allows these videos to be sponsored. It is not a problem to us who are already experienced in the crypto field. But to the newbies of this crypto world, it can be a big scam.  Because they maybe fall into the trap and send them funds. So, everyone don't fall in this. Nothing is free in this world.

^ As I know this is not the first time of this Youtube channel was have an advertisement of scam attempt like this. There are videos like this on video but they can't fool people. Exactly, this scammed incident is a very old trick, if you are a crypto enthusiast, you will surely probably win the natch. Nevertheless, it is a good point that we already reported it while early admin can vail on it. I hope people will able to avoid outside.

Thanks for pointing this out.  It's important we always expose every scam we come across so that when others google to see if the "opportunity" is legitimate or not, they'll have a heads up that it's a scam.  You can never be too over confident either that no matter how obvious a scam looks, someones some where WILL fall for it.  So keep looking out for others!

i've seen a channel whose putting ads on youtube and they are trying to scam people by telling people to send money into their wallet for hoping to get doubled their money. it's a ponzi scheme but worse because newbie and uneducated people will definitely falling into that hole so easily if they are not educated enough. but good thing those ads are removed on youtube.

[Chrystora123]

the good news is; that youtube account has been locked by Youtube.  Youtube itself cannot close the account without reports from thousands of people for cases like this.  but what in my opinion is Youtube's weakness is the feature of "disabling comments" provided by Youtube.  scammers immediately disable comments when they just start "LIVE" to avoid information from users who know that it is "FRAUD", this is why there are still 1 or 2 people trapped with their fraudulent scheme.  I hope YouTube updates its "LIVE" policy a little more..

Youtube has easier ways to deal with scam channels on cryptocurency, Just report it and it will be brought down. If this gets more common even legit cryptocurrency channels might be controlled or be lost.

Good move that we saw that video removed already. I hope not many users got trapped from their ponzi scheme. Those scammers will find another strategy to rekt naive users. Maybe in terms of their website. By any chance, did somebody here take the name of that person talking in the video and got the snapshot?

For new update!

The video was deleted by youtube already since it said that the content had violated some of the terms and regulations of youtube.
Well, it is good to know that this scam video will not influence possible investors anymore. More than that, I hope that everyone should be like as OP who can determine a possible scam investment. 70K viewers are enough to convince a lot to join with this shit investment.

[Zionatin]

The video is already down. Goodjob. But honestly, people who fall for this sort of thing are not the most intelligent. If you believe someone else wants to make you rich you live on cloud coo-coo land.
Now if only we could rid youtube of disgusting things like fake animal rescues. There are truly filthy pieces of shit in this world. I am so glad this got taken down so quickly.
