The price is rising and there are more and more scammers.

Scammers could be sending money to themselves in order to encourage others to do so. So, you can never know how many coins they have truly received - always remember that Bitcoin is pseudonymous and anyone could be behind the sending address, even the same person as the receiver.
I think of the same too as that can be like a testimonial that there are many people who are trusting them. I just saw another scammy site being promoted on Twitter and that is using the image and name of Lindsay Lohan who recently came out in support of cryptocurrency days ago. Oh well, these scammers are always using big name and famous people to lure innocent and naive victims to their scheme. But they can never fool us who are always looking out for news here in this forum. Education is always the key against scams.

Domains like the ones listed above should be blacklisted by all the social media platforms.
Unfortunately Twitter,Facebook and Youtube aren't reacting fast enough to prevent those scams and to save the money of all the innocent victims.
Scammers can do freely using social media as the medium to spread fake and enticing offers. A stupid person could really think about what they are doing until such time they got scammed. Soon the site will be blacklisted and longer to access when someone does the report. Unfortunately Twitter,Facebook and Youtube aren't reacting fast enough to prevent those scams and to save the money of all the innocent victims.
This is a 100% scam trick. Can someone send those numbers of BTC as a giveaway? It is no. Innocent people would likely become their target which is very unfortunate (that was before) but I was believing now that they are aware of this scheme.

There are two possibilities that the scamming sites could receive 10.66 BTC. The first possibility is the scammers themselves sending to their own
wallets, so that many participants will be seen participating in the giveaway. Then the second possibility is that many victims have been deceived
by these scammers. BTC giveaway is an old way used by scammers, moreover, the very expensive Bitcoin price now makes many greedy people
become victims. It has been a long time since the BTC giveaway scam method was difficult to remove, maybe there are still many greedy people
who want to get Bitcoin in an instant way.

This is a good quote for this course, for goodness sake see the amount of bitcoin realized within the time frame. I wish we will not be too greedy to lose our asset to a scammer who will prove that they are wise

How can people be so naive?If something seems too good to be true,it most likely is...
Ellon Musk might be the wealthiest person in the world,be he would never give away Bitcoins for free.
What's the point for somebody to give you 1BTC,after you send him 0.5BTC?That doesn't make any sense.

My favorite!
And checking the scammers' wallets' balances, Bitcoin users are the stupidest
How can a normal person believe that you could send 1BTC to get 100?!

You can check out @DroomieChikito thread here and see how many scammers are using Elon Musk face to promote fake BTC giveaway.
In this case, I would lean towards what @hatshepsut93 said, they will initially "deposit" huge amount of BTC to that address to look more legit and attract noobs in crypto sphere to deposit there hard earn money.

Yup, it was just a lure in for those noobs to believe that this might really be a real giveaway since of those inputs and outputs on said address.
Only noobs would really fall for this one and to those who doesnt have common sense and thinking off about easy money.
Sooner or later they would realized that they had been scammed and keep whining and crying that crypto is shit.

I couldn’t imagine how scammers could end up things like this! That’s just full proof trap for new comers or new investors in the crypto industry. Just look at the number of bitcoin that has been invested in the same. It’s more than 300 hundred thousand USD in value.
Is it just simulation of the transaction or they have just shown other addresses as their own project address? Because people falling for such high level stupidity is insane tbh.
I’m laughing literally, how could anyone end up involving with such scam man.

Lol! I wonder how people can be so stupid! Even though I didn't see this spam in Twitter (even after being very active in bitcoin related tweets), but still I wonder how people are falling pray for such scams! 10.66 BTC is a huge amount. I can live the rest of my life with this amount of money. It's true that stupidity has no limit indeed.
February 14, 2021, 03:34:56 PM
I saw this domain, It is spammed all over Twitter but I just ignored it every time. I really didn't expect that someone will fall for this really. Those amounts that are collected by the scammer were serious and I can imagine the faces of the people who sent in that address. This shows the number of people who are too greedy and just hoping for easy money.
February 14, 2021, 12:42:36 PM
It's very difficult to control our greed when we see a greedy offer. Scammer already received a huge amount of bitcoin, that means there is a lot of greedy peoples those fall into this trap. It's not surprising to me, because many newbies entering Bitcoin nowadays and they aren't aware of such scams. The warning about such as scam would find only a few websites or forums like Bitcointalk. Most probably newbies would learn nothing is free on the world and how they become a fool.
Anyway, increasing awareness somehow helping propels. Because this thread is reflected on Google as well. So, in case someone search on Google before sending bitcoin then they would discover this thread and save their money. The problem is scammers continuously scanning their domain names.

I'm sure it was just being manipulated to get people more confidence in the assets going in and out of the blockchain, so in essence the BTC giveaway is now 100% fake.
They can alter this things with scams in millons of ways, one is that they can be the one sending the Bitcoin to their scam wallet from many other wallet, this can make -Newbies- join in the fake-giveaway but I think this scam way should have been over used by now, and by now it obvious that their are more scams on social media.Their efforts are not in doubt, but with the same trick, I think even though Newbie must know about this kind of scheme, widely spread on social media with the word "giveaway" oh this is a cheap word they apply.
But fortunately there were no victims so it's just those who do too ridiculous.
I guess its time to report the site to take it down.
I support that all scamers sites must be reported.
February 14, 2021, 12:08:20 PM
I have to admit that these numbers are pretty enticing, but if you analyze it, there is no transaction that returns a double amount. The scammers just keep the UTXOs and then, once they've collected a lot, they spend them to their address. Here's a transaction that does that:
What would they expect what scammers do. This transactions might be from their own (scammers) sending to their own address as what said above to look it more true.I guess its time to report the site to take it down.

5 and 4 BTC appear to be only bait to attract people who are tempted to join the giveaway. Scammers can do anything because they also have a lot of assets and come from previous scams they have committed.
currently the hype is Tesla and they (scammers) are taking advantage of this situation to trick people into getting into their traps and getting their money.
Stay alert and don't believe this kind of giveaway.
Oops, almost forgot those could also be from their own kind.
Thanks for the concern though, I have never participated in those things since 2017. Give away to receive from a giveaway, sheesh
February 14, 2021, 11:21:40 AM
WTF, I could be a millionaire if I were to host those domains. Seems like a smart way to earn quick money now 
Those two that gave 5 and 4 BTC respectively would probably jump off the roof after realizing they fell for a scam, yikes.

I had thought of it too, but I highly doubt if there's a person that watches addresses' balances through a block explorer and attempts to send money to another elon-scam site. These lost coins are most likely sent from an online-wallet by people that have no idea what they're doing.Quote

Previously, they copied the name Telsa for their stunt and this is a catch of $crypto$

After Tesla has invested in bitcoin 1.5 billion USD, the scamer is now changing the name to Tesla, but the trick remains the same as before, but I will not be bored to keep reminding, especially for beginners who don't know, especially with good news about Tesla. then we need to be careful with these scamers.
