^ This has become their trick and they always use it to cheat. don't be easily influenced by their writing, it's all just their manipulation to make as if they are good people. YouTube, Twitter, Telegram, and Facebook have become fields for crypto scammers.

Personally when I am on a site and it get to a point on clicking to join any group I just pick race and do my research well before I joined any link now an I got hooked. One just need to be extra cautious in dealing with anything online, first you check if the sight is secure.

Yes,  scam is everywhere and btc is not an exemption and being a target to the hackers, phishers and the likes. They will be either let you pay something in which they promise to give you more or they will use a site or app where you will going to disclose your wallets important details like private key or seed phrase unknowingly through phishing fake sites or phishing apps.

The number of videos YouTube has taken down that were tied to scams has dropped dramatically this year. A YouTube spokesperson attributed that decline to factors that include its evolving enforcement practices. According to YouTube's enforcement page, the site has been relying more heavily on technology to police its platform this year, in part because of staffing issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

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.

If you are pertaining to content creators that promote or talk about Bitcoin on their YouTube videos, they are promoting some websites and things that they are told to do but its still our choice to follow or do what they are talking about. Its true that they are true supporters of Bitcoin since they really created content regarding Cryptocurrencies and sharing their knowledge is good since it would be an important information to new users within the Cryptocurrency Industry.

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 think it is possible that they are from a bot or if they are from people, I am sure, this message came from a group of people that are conspiring to entice readers in joining them.  I have seen this kind of strategy on Facebook and youtube.  They have templates of what they need to say with pictures and contact numbers.   I bet this group of people is a member of a Ponzi company and wanted to recruit unsuspecting investors.

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?

Or they will invite you to invest in a ponzi company promising a great returns.

Obviously they are scammers who are looking someone to fall on their tricks. Be responsible and avoid that kind of investment. If you want to invest, learn first so that you will not fall into scammers.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

^^ 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.

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.

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.
