Bitcoin Youtube Scam?

[livingfree]

Even on facebook, they are there. I think they're bots and also there are people who uses those accounts just to look for people that they can scam.

Yes. That's the process, they want you to contact them and they'll tell you the scam on how they've made money out of bitcoin or any source that will make you feel the greed. But as long as you don't contact them or click any link that they attach, you're good.

Those people who will tell you something to earn money with only little effort to do then for sure it is a scam, there is no legit website that will give you profit for only little effort. besides, it is hard to believe people in telegram because many users there are fake and will going to scam you. I already encounter many things like that using telegram, thankfully, I am now really familiar with that kind of tricks from scammers because I already got scammed once so it makes me more careful than before.

They are always scam. They even now buy accounts with verification tag to look more legit, which newbies could easily fall for. Someone once told me that no one would have time to share a wealth secret that works for him or her. They will rather have it to them self rather than share so that they can become more rich. People that are legit don't have time to go around spamming like crazy.

They always propose an easy scheme for a big profit. All you need to do is to send some money to the unknown BTC-wallet and follow a guide you will receive later. I agree with the thought the main target of such scammers is the newbies with a lack of experience in the crypto industry. We should be more careful about such offers.

As far as I know some comments are done by bot some are paid comments I have also seen so many comments where person are promoting cryptocurrency exchange but they are all scam

Your true, there are array of paid comments and bot comments. Who read comments on YouTube?)

[Astvile]

First off, all these comments are from people or are they bots?  I notice even on twitter when it comes to politics, you see these accounts post comments where it sounds like a bot... then you see other users who post the same exact thing.
I assume the scam here is you then contact that persons whatsapp or phone or telegram, then they ask you for money... then you get scammed?

Surely they are bots, bots are widely used in videos promoting anything on youtube right now. Specially if the profile seems suspicious or someone doesn't have a profile picture. They are doing that in order to convince someone that might be watching the video to invest in bitcoins with them and eventually like what you are thinking scamming them in the end. Most likely people who do this will invite people to some HYIP or pyramid scheme that bitcoin is being used.

That's already common in YouTube and Twitter as well, and they are trying to get attention so that they can scam others. You will usually see this kind of comment especially in videos for beginners like teaching about the basics of bitcoin and crypto. It's easy for scammers to attract attention from beginners who still lack knowledge that's why it's better to ignore those comments and report them.

Not only in youtube you can also find same comments in other social media accounts encouraging other people to direct message them and find a new victim. Usually they are showing fake proofs that they are earning ended up that's they are urging new people to invest their money to them.

Youtube comments are also full of lies telling they earn so much in bitcoin giving out contact numbers for newbies become victim. Although we can definitely earn legit here but the thing is, newbies aren't aware how it works.

I guess you already figure it out  , the thing is, when you see odd comment like that which doesn't sound real it is obviously a scam, but the sad thing is people are still getting scammed so easily, just few days ago a guy got scammed on telegram of 0.2 btc - well according to him-  he send this amount to a scammer disguise as an admin of the group in the hope of buying the project presale token, but unfortunately for him he send his money to a scammer without even knowing, it was very sad thing, there are many scammers both on you tube and telegram, people should be careful.

[pealr12]

Now that btc price has risen so high you will see all sort of people trying to sell one idea or the other, even on twitter you can come across such comment, they set them as trap for their prey, it is better to avoid them and not to click on any link they may provide, even in telegram i usually receive such pm post of some unknown link and i will quickly block and report them.

[Ratash]

Yes they are definetly scamers and i find a lot of them in crypto groups on social media they tell you that you can win money easily from bitcoin and they ask you to send them private messages then they try to scam you by telling you there is a way to double your bitcoin and ask you to send btc to a certain adress, and unfortunatly many newbies on crypto fall victims to them.

Due to lack of knowledge and with extreme mix of greed then most noobs would definitely fall into this crap common scam.There are lots of them

who had been scattered not only in YT but also in other social medias as well.They are rampant on existence and still continuing at this very moment.
I do even see that they are covering up sudden bitcoins price peak and been used to hype up those people who dont have much knowledge about it.
Doubling your investment is the common scenario on here. People will learn if they do commit mistakes. It should be avoided but most cases its already been done.

^^ To be fair, Youtube brings down scam video faster than let's say Google in their ads or in their play store. I myself has reported couple of youtube scams and in less than 24 hours it went offline.

Nevertheless, they should have some find of filter mechanism to detect those scams video plowing on their platform so that no one can fall for it and make this scammers think twice before using Youtube as means to promote scams.

[Nikole Fischer]

Yeah, probably, they're scammers. Well, in such a case, I'd advise you to be careful and check the accounts

[gabbie2010]

I don't understand why youtube doesn't take down those scammer advertisements., I myself reported a few of them, lots of people getting scam by those advertising. It seems so real but nobody will give you free money in this world. Only new people and noobs are getting scam. Never give your crypto to someone to make it double, it's stupid.

Once such a video is reported as scam YouTube will definitely take down the video this is not the first time such a video is surfacing as reported by the OP however it quite unfortunate that some damages must have done before those videos are taken down perhaps some newbies must have fell for the scam a lot of noobs who must taught it is real, to make matter worst they might even reveal some fake profits earned in a bid to decieving and convincing them to send some cryptos.

[AjithBtc]

In the name of popular people these scams are taking place. Recently myself saw an youtube where a person is live streaming Multiplier scam. There were 5k+ people watching the multiplier scheme. When it comes to money, people are easily fooled. The next day the channel isn't available, maybe someone might've reported to the YouTube and they might've got blocked.

[w0lf0.]

Surely they are scams, be careful, Youtube and the various social media are full of fraudulent btc and crypto ads, even recently on youtube they steal popular channels with many subscribers and put fraudulent content on crypto to scam as many people as possible in a short time.

[AniviaBtc]

There a lot of scams who are circulating in the internet using famous apps, such as whatsapp, telegram, youtube, twitter and etc.

Youtube is really a much more reliable to them because there are a lot of people who are using this platform to look for something profitable besides Google.

Also, scammers know that most of the newbies are relying on youtube to learn more about bitcoin and these scammers are seizing the opportunity to scam a lot of investors.

[bunglor]

they are not scam but probably a supporter both stocks and bitcoin have their own advantages and disadvantages probably those comments were combined of shill accounts that wanted to have a lot of comments and probably real supporter of bitcoins.

Bitcoin scam were widely spreading today and this isn't just found in youtube but sadly even in any social media platforms scammers used it to find a victim fall out on their trap. But the most sad thing of all there has many people who fall out on these traps because bitcoin were now known by many and they are trying to be part of it. My auncle was one who became a victim of these scammers which he already paid out amounting $100.
