First time seeing it going on on Youtube like this, but idea is the same as always...send something,
then we will (NOT) send you more back

Edit: don't forget to report it to youtube, if link doesn't work means we succeeded  Grin

A basic rule of airdrop is that you get them for free. If there is a condition of sending X amount first, then it is not an Airdrop. Its a scam.
Secondly, some people ask for private key in order to send an airdrop, that's even a bigger scam that we should be aware of.

I hoped Youtube is more harsh, but it seems all they care is
about users violating copyright claims

You could also add this guy --> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/xrp-airdropgiveaway-by-swell-in-2019-5210996

He made a thread of "XRP giveaway" but look at his trust feed.

As I warned, scammers will come back with old methods over channels, not only Youtube.
There are more scam Youtube videos. Please help to shut them down by actively reports.
Scammers on Youtube. Don't fall into this scam trap and lose money, guys

I didn't open link shortener from youtube because im afraid of some malware, but it looks like it is this same scam:

http://www.airdropxrp.com/

They opened a thread to promote this in the Marketplace section as an Airdrop: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/xrp-airdropgiveaway-by-swell-in-2019-5210996

During 2019, there were some cases of XRP airdrop scams. Be careful of these scams, they may be created by a group of scammers. I am afraid that they are serial scammers. They may create not only XRP airdrops, but also airdrops for other top altcoins.

Other cases:
1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xo_Nj0ESN-A
2. https://twitter.com/alexcobb_/status/1179424542034399238


Anyway, I think this thread will be better to move on Scam Accusations.
Or you can put on this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/scam-fake-xrp-airdrop-5210923 (Baofeng).

It is insane how Youtube and theirt infamous algorithm are doing nothing to stop this scam video campaign.
Recently I reported a bunch of similar video channels in scam accusations:

They really put an effort to make it real although I really doubt someone will still fall on this. Even the feedbacks are obviously manipulated.

I can't believe that the channel itself lasted for 2 years.

Reported the channel as well. Hoping for account termination.

If you send in 1 000 000 + XRP  , you will get the Grand Prize: a fully customized Tesla 3 model, delivery included, color of your choice (including currently unavailable Obsidian Black & Metallic Silver!). DM us on Twitter if you did that and we will organize the delivery as soon as possible.
If you have any problem follow our online chat


But i guess that these kind of obvious scams are still working, otherwise they wouldn't do them.
