And that's called as paid stunts! These are not bot really, I don't think they have implemented any such code so as to have bots over youtube comment section (?)

Either they are paid out people or more or less they themselves trying to get referrals from such platforms. They will try to attract noobs through this act and honestly noobs to follow such people periodically and get scammed. They don't just do this over the youtube but also over other social platforms like telegram, twitter and discord channels.

Literally such kind of people beg for it over such platform and screw everyone.

That's obviously a scam no doubt about it and not just on youtube but also on facebook, they are commenting on popular pages that they "earn bitcoin and thanks to" scheme scripted talks. They spamming all social medias and worst they are also copying project facebook pages to fool supporters and new comers.

From all who replied they said yes and same as me BUT FOR ME....

When it comes to things like this you can actually feel it or have a guess when you see it the third option is you click on that profiles it see if she or he is a bot from the profile itself like looking at there subscribe accounts than you will 100% distinguished that it is fake and a bot.

If you saw that it is subscribed to many accounts still there is a chance that it is a scam or they are users who get paid to comment on the video, still for safety purposes if you feel or look at it that is a scam do not respond. Still at the end, the rest is up to you to make the decision.

the most user who posts click here or ask me if you want to earn money are in chances of 50% legit and scam but from my point of view when it is related to cryptocurrency 80% chances is a big scam for as you may know many do make a fake project related to bitcoin or altcoin.

Ive also seen this kind of video YouTube. They use the video of the CEO of tesla talking but not really about their scheme. They attached different link saying you can double your money when transfering to a certain BTC address. The comment section also is flooded with bots wanting you to really invest. Lets beware of this scam, since Bitcoin price is doing a bull run, scammers are going along with this hype.

Long story short yes, they're scams. Low effort ones even. They're just trying to incite the greed from people, mostly newbies, that came upon those BTC videos and are being blinded by greed. They may come from both bots or people, no sense in identifying where it came from, just ignore and report. You can even put out a warning to others, just don't say straight out that it's a scam, just tell them it's a possible scam. Most people have quite the pride, after all, so telling it to them straight up may just incur a riot or something.

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?
Basically yes. It's like them giving out the possibility of tips to earn money, but they ask you for money first before giving out the strategy. It's pretty simple, yet some people still fall for it.

They are everywhere.m its not only Youtube. The reason why you see so many comment that look alike is for innocent people to fall quickly for it. Those comments are coming from the same person. Never fall for any of it.

it's scam and that message was coming from the scammers. there are so many bots on twitter and that's an old trick that being used by the scammers.
Your last point seems true if the scammers will get in touch with you directly through your contact.

The scammers will be spamming the same messages anywhere.

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


btc is the future


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


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


telegram


how btc is better than stocks





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?
