Could this Live Bitcoin giveaway be true?

Who is watching this Fake Michael Saylor live crypto giveaway event?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHD3YYDZpyc

The offers are too good to be true; I feel it is AI-generated.

Promising double in five minutes of whatever amount in bitcoin or Ethereum that you send to an address that is on a website that you can access by scanning a QR code.



Scammers have used the same methods before to steal bitcoin many times, targeting new crypto users, tempting them with these offers, and putting them under pressure that the offer is time-sensitive.

Scammers will never rest.
This is their mode of operation.

Michael Saylor will never do any giveaway. The man wants to accumulate more bitcoin and not give any away to charity. If he wanted to do such charity he'd send it to his favorite charity organization. I think I saw something like that somewhere.

As for this, it is a scam. But you know what those who are greedy will be the victim. They will later create a topic of how they were scammed.

I do not know what is happening on YouTube. But this is the channel that is Microstrategy that is registered in United States: https://m.youtube.com/@microstrategy

The one you posted is registered in India: https://m.youtube.com/@Microstrategy-y9c

That video is definitely belonging to scammers.

It is a scam.

On YouTube, click on 'report' to report it as soon as possible.

Yeah, this one scamming scheme is not really hard to detect, right when I read the title of this topic and I saw the youtube link, I jumped to check the account's profile right away. And we could see that they posted a lot of Hinduism video with Hindi Language, obviously we could suspect either the original account is got hacked or it is just a random Indian scammer's work.

A Very Obvious Scam Indeed

[Rruchi man]

That video is definitely belonging to scammers.

It is a scam.

I could just tell from the offer and how the video has been in a loop since the last three hours. The sad thing is that there are a lot of people who are watching it; there is no way they don't already have victims.

Comments are also turned off on the live video.

I have reported the channel to Youtube, but unfortunately their action is not immediate, and the scammers would have already had many victims before then. They likely will repeat it with another profile.

How is this possible? I have never seen anything like this with a normal brain. This is a scam trap. You cannot fall into it, and those who do will lose their money. We should ignore it as soon as possible and report the video posted on YouTube. I have already reported it.

This is the first time I have seen about Bitcoin on his YouTube channel. Moreover, the other posts are not about Bitcoin. They did this to scam. No one should fall into this scam; everyone should be careful. If you fall into this scam, you will lose your money without anyone knowing it, so be careful.

Scammers have used same methods before to steal bitcoin many times, targeting new crypto users, tempting them with these offers, and putting them under pressure that the offer is time sensitive.

in the first place, why will you demand that i make a deposit of 0.2BTC before i become eligible for the giveaway you on your own decide to do? what sprt of criteria is that? with the extent scammers have increased the possibilities of using means you never considered possible to scam people, anything like this that looks a bit suspicious or too good to be true should be avoided by all means. Michael Saylor that is still bullish on bitcoin will never want to all of a sudden decide to give away this quantity of bitcoin to just some random people that sends him some coin.

even if the give away is from satoshi, any form of giveaway that can only happen after the beneficiary have sent out certain amount of coin is a complete scam.

[DeathAngel]

Of course it’s not true. Nothing like that is ever true. Nobody gives away free money like that. There are no shortcuts to success, if something seems too good to be true then trust me, it almost certainly is.

I don't think those 64K people who watching the video are legit users, most likely they're bots because most of the other videos only have around 2K-3K views. The scammers are quite clever, people who're not familiar with Youtube might think it's legit especially old people who always believe anything they see on the screen.

Turned off comments already a red flag in Youtube, similar like a new thread and immediately locked in this forum.

Hmm, How stupid approach to scam people, if they are using this that indicates it's working somewhere and it's disappointing that after the availability of information to this extent people are still getting scammed.

AI-generated or not, it's not important.

You noticed a right warning "It's too good to be true". Who are rich enough to do these give away like 1,000 BTC and 10,000 ETH?

I did not care to read all your screenshots but like claim 2 BTC, for example, is another too good to be true warning.

Promising double in five minutes of whatever amount in bitcoin or Ethereum that you send to an address that is on a website that you can access by scanning a QR code.

It is an old scam type years ago like "Send 1 ETH and receive 2 ETH back".

It's a confirmed scam, and I hope nobody will be scammed with these ones.
Avoid these common crypto scams, easy money.

When the offer is too good to be true, you needs to be careful because that could be a scam. You need to makes sure that the offer is real but I guess that it is a scam since they ask you to send 0.1 Bitcoin.

People will not think that it is a scam because it looks real to them. They will follow the procedures and send the Bitcoin to the scammers. But if they wait for a while, they will not get anything. Hopefully, people are aware with that offers and will not send any Bitcoin amount so they will not gets scammed.

People will not think that it is a scam because it looks real to them. They will follow the procedures and send the Bitcoin to the scammers.

Anyone that wants to invest or get involved in crypto should do one thing immediately after learning about crypto. That is searching about how to avoid crypto scammers and hackers. People that will send the money are those that have not learned how to avoid scammers and hackers before. I remember when I know about cryptocurrencies, I saw this as one of the scammers way of stealing money from people using Elon Musk deep fake video for it also on YouTube.

do people actually believe in this? i mean do they really think that someone would organize a project that would for no reason double their money? is there any reason or excuse at least or is it really the empty promise of doubling their money? why would not anyone question the why or how of all of this? i do not know if it is the scammers that are stupid for organizing something so obviously a scam or the people who may actually fall for this

Scammers have used the same methods before to steal bitcoin many times, targeting new crypto users, tempting them with these offers, and putting them under pressure that the offer is time-sensitive.

scanning an unknown qr code is also very dangerous because this could be a hacking method as well that even if you do not actually send some bitcoins, they may just hack into your device

[Woodie]

Any thing to do with crypto and will double your coins in a few minutes, seconds whatever it is is a ponzi scheme or a scam in short!!!
And the worst thing that happened to the internet is Artificial intelligence because voices are being cloned and made to say whatever they like, the video presentations are easily manipulated too which makes it even difficult for people not exposed enough as they can easily fall victim to such scams and unlucky ones lose life savings   !!!

If you not sure at the least ask a friend to be your voice of reason,  it works 90% of the time.

[Mia Chloe]

There are certain setups and schemes that outrightly show their scam nature. The thing is skipping things like this is the best thing to do because the more you think about it and try to consider it , the more inclined you will actually get to want to try it out and then you end losing your coins that you should be holding to a scammer. Firstly there is no logical explanation of why someone like that would want to do a bitcoin giveaway.
Another thing too is it doesn't make any sense for someone hosting a giveaway to be requesting a deposit or payment in any form first. People that will fall for this are people that are greedy and want to multiply their funds without doing a thing.

Those who have been in the Crypto world for a long time will definitely not be fooled by this, Research is the main key to security. Meanwhile, beginners who are new to crypto on the basis of Fomo, of course, they think this is instant money in a short time, they will not hesitate to try it, very concerned.

[Charles-Tim]

@Rruchi man
The person that uploaded the video has removed it. Although, I also reported the video and I think many people among us also reported the video. YouTube sent me message and in the message, they said they will take appropriate action. After the message was sent to me, I went back to check the video but it has been removed by the uploader. I do not know what kind of happened there but good that the video has been removed.

Only new people will fall into such traps. One thing is to think about what kind of profit they are trying to get back into the trap. Many times, I see such traps that people understand and step into. I don't understand why they move in this direction. They have the minimum amount of knowledge about this world, and they will never step in this direction.

Those who have excessive money will also never step in this direction because there is no point in doing so. Such a system seems like a fraud trap. What I'm most excited about is that so many low-quality fraud traps have been created that can be understood by looking at them. I hope no one will step into this kind of trap.

And that is the sad part, it's already 2024, and still people are falling for it. We have seen this kind of attempts or attacks many times already and have been warned newbies as well. But I guess there will be no scammers if there are no victims.

So it means that there are still people who falls for this trap and so it's going to continue, unfortunately. But we should continue to give them warning in this community like this thread and for sure there are newbies, maybe registered or not registered that might read it and see our comments. Self awareness is still the key for us to not be the next statistics and lose money to this criminals.
