Bitcoin Youtube Scam?

[Semar Mesem]

snip

Never trust too much at a thing on the internet, especially when it comes to money....the majority of people who are deceived are because they are too trusting and greedy for "instant" things.  getting rich from the internet is not an instant thing, everything needs a process as well as getting profit from bitcoin.  ^{(btw, i also once made a thread that said not to give your money to scammers)}

Before we put money, of course, we must have considerations that are realistic, I have participated in many scam programs on the internet which finally made me exposed to scams, ICO projects, gambling, HYIPs and so on have made me no longer believe in programs that look very promising.

Scammers use all platforms to scam people so crypto investors have to prepare enough knowledge to avoid scam traps. One of most common scam methods are: impersonators, and go first with your deposit then you will get double of it, etc.

First off, all these comments are from people or are they bots?

As for I know, there are no bots for YouTube comments. So I think these are some people (hired by scammers) whose task is to keep commenting only one type on every crypto-related video.

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?

Yes, they are scammers, they make you greedy and ask for money. And if you sent the money to them, then they either blocked you or ask you for more money. So don't fall into this trap and don't trust anyone like this.

So when im watching some bitcoin videos on youtube... doesn't matter what it is... could be about bitcoin or cnbc talking about bitcoin, i see in the comments section, people making comments like

i made a ton of money investing in btc with so and so person

I also come across this shitty comment and I can confirm that it's a scam, scroll past such messages don't think twice about opening it, they are scammers trying to get into your wallet.

then you see someone post someones whatsapp or phone number and say contact this person if you want to make money

telegram

First off, all these comments are from people or are they bots?

I don't think they are bots, those comments are made by humans who don't want to work to earn money rather they specialise in trying to steal money from other people, f*cking scammers 

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?

Telegram has been name scam paradise, there are so many scam ongoing on telegram every day, every time someone dm's you asking if you want to make profits trading crypto, they are all messages from scammers, I would advice you to be careful when using that app.

[Oasisman]

I certainly find them everywhere, in all social media platform commenting on a trending threads and videos.
I was wondering, is there still people who got fooled by these kind of scamming techniques? Because these annoying comments and messages is still flooding everywhere.

What kind of fool who believes in some total stranger offering how to earn money the easiest way.
Well, when it's too good to be true, then that's most probably a scam.
Sometimes, people were too lazy to make their due diligence.

You are all right, these scam projects that are promoted on youtube only benefit Youtubers. Youtubers charge a lot of money to promote a scam project Or take as many worth tokens We invest in their words and waste our money We have to avoid these scams So don't fall into this trap and don't trust anyone like this.

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.

Scammers come in various formats their target is your coin or your fiat which ever the can lay a hold of and are willing to go any length to prove how genuine the are just to take your valuable from you and once the target is hit you lose access to them. Avoid online adverts whose sites aren't verifiable. Doing research isn't just a one way activity it is involved in all aspect of life that has to do with investing generally.

The fact is fraud is everywhere.They use all the online platform to scam the people.Because if they are from Europe, they will scam the people from the Asia. Because they thought, they will not captured. Meanwhile, many people sell the phone number from other country. So it help to hide their own identity.

Everything too good to be true are scam and we all must put that in our mind. There are scammers everywhere and they do exist on all social media platforms and not only in youtube. They can be in tiktok, fb, twitter, telegram etc. And only those people who doesn't have knowledge get scammed on low efforts scam tactics like "I earn a lot of money here, contact me blah blah blah", obvious scam yet people are jumping in it.

And to answer your question, are they bots or actual people, I think they are actual people desperately in need of money. And then ask you for money once you get caught.

I remember one member of a discord group I belong got scammed $1000 to a certain group member also. And he ask us for help, and we can't do anything. That's the sad part, that you can't help those people who get scammed.

It’s just scammers and their tactics, they are always looking for who will fall into their trap. If you’re getting to see such comments on social media, then you’re seeing it late. They have been making use of this tactics and it’s becoming very annoying whenever I see it, they are always off point, they just post the comments everywhere.

I know for sure that there will be some people who will be falling for such scam, and once they contact these scammers on their WhatsApp, they will ask them for money to invest and then make away with it. If you’re looking to make money, you should do it yourself and not look for people who will do it for you.

[Obito]

They are bots definitely, no sane person will be able to post like that alone in a lot of channels in such a short time because it takes a lot of time and finishing the quota for those scam comments probably is impossible even for a really dedicated human that has all the efficient machines being operated. Don't click them because you're in for a misery with that one.

[glendall]

There are many ways for scammers to find their prey, but we as YouTube viewers know that if it is a scammer, we should report it to YouTube so that it will be deleted and blocked.
we may already understand the type of scammer, but beginners will definitely contact the number listed in the comments

this is actually homework for youtube, to tighten the system so that there are not many frauds that start from youtube

I making crypto related content for youtube. When uploaded videos it's fine but after few days when i see comment box, some comments are like they drop contact number and btc address, Although i thought those real comments but now i got it that was scam.

First off, all these comments are from people or are they bots?

Firstly, it all videos on Youtube are good to watch cause some videos are created for advertisement purpose just to lure people into their trap and an example the video watch using the potential of Bitcoin to scam people.
Secondly, the comment are by the same people or group that created the video and sharing the link to lure people into their trap is the reason why the video was created.

 

 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.

Those are the people who shill the on going topic just to gain people attention.

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?

That's how they operate, they start with a sweet conversation to make you feel interested in their offer and later ask for money. But you don't need all that cause everything you need to understand about trading crypto is within just ask on this forum and you will get the require answers.

Dangerous with those people who follows your content, they might be victimized by this kind of comments,

thinking that it's still related to your content. Better to delete / remove those to avoid harming your followers.

Those scammers will always be there to try scamming or hacking other people.

I had asked about these a while ago.  This is an issue on many social media outlets.  Instagram has a really big problem with this right now.  I am amazed at how poor of a job these companies moderators are doing with this. Every time I see this crap I always respond with "scam" and 99.9% of the time you will not see any sort of response.  You would think "how dumb is this, an obvious scam"..but the truth is people deploy these bots and posts because they work.  Sickens me.  I have made my career in finance to fight back against corruption and financial scams..and this stuff pisses me off so badly.  All we can do is continue to report and point out these scams.

Having a political affiliation and shilling for them is not new and you cannot coin scammers and political shills the same. The shills usually does is to boost their political identity and they will use any tactics but it is all done to boost their political identity, while the scammers does is to scam off others money and these bots are aiming to target someone easy and lure them into their scheme.
The best option is to ignore them just like thousands of junk mails you get in your inbox.

the very sad and shameful part Is what I've seen on many people's youtube channels. The following is:

in the last few months I have constantly seen youtube channels promote airdrop scam links and the saddest thing is that even the owner of the youtube channel that promotes the airdrop scam site doesn't believe it is a scam and doesn't know how to identify airdrop scam. people have become so greedy and desperate for wanting to have many members on their youtube channels who are promoting scam

of course they're going to ask for money, and most of them will probably tell you that they're gonna use it and return profit to you with some numbers that is cannot be believed if you're think rationally, and they act like they're doing you a favor, who does that to random people on the internet ? nobody, i never believed any of them and i shouldn't, they either want to scam you straight ahead or use you to get referrals.
