SOME ONPOPULAR SCAM IN COMMENT SECTIONS
When scanning through comments on this channels, I'm very certain that one will come across these set of scammers impersonating the owner of these channels since most of them are good at predicting this market, giving fundamental and technical insight and making good reviews to their members. They have a good reputation and trust from their community but scammers used this influence to lure others into some shady deal and cheap offers.
I will be using two popular crypto channels as an example:
(A)
The Moon: This is one of the most followed and subscribed YouTube channel with lots of views daily, his contents are topnotch and well delivered, predictions aren't 100% accurate but always similar in movement to market. The videos always covered both fundamentals and technical analysis, his love for Btc made him gain lots of followers on YouTube and Twitter but sadly, Scammers always find a way to use their merit to create similar names for scams.
From the image below, you can see comment under one of his videos asking users to pm him on WhatsApp for investment, they sometimes ask you to meet in Telegram. Owners of these channels cannot monitor over thousands of comments alone, the two images are clear and different, please report and save beginners.
(B)
Cryptojack: This is another big YouTube influencer and fundamentalist who believe in crypto adoption, his videos are inspiring and motivating. The crypto space isn't regulated, one needs to be extra careful with advice especially when they aren't physical.
The image below indicates the difference between the real crypto owner and another fake user making a useless comment. You can see that his profile was created just a month ago but his comments got likes that can easily convince Noobs to contact them. They are fake likes, please tap on the comment and report them so save beginners.
Don't fall for likes on YouTube comments. Please report them to Google because they violate Google terms. One should also
