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.

This is one of the tricks of fraudsters to deceive people. Everyone should be careful so that no one falls victim to such fraud. I entered the YouTube video link but the YouTube video has been removed there. Those who have never fallen victim to such fraud before are likely to fall for it, so beginners must be very careful because they may send money there in the greed of getting money. It should always be remembered that no one will ever give anything for free, whenever someone wants to give something for free, then it must be understood that there must be some problem here.

Thank you very much for bringing this important issue to the fore. Maybe this post will alert the entire Bitcoin community.

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.

Humans themselves with greed will never also learn because they always feel to urge to get something free or looks free. I have a motto which is if its too good to be true then its probably not because if you know Micheal Saylor very well then you would know that man is probably the last person to sell or temper with his bitcoin holdings. And funny enough many would fall victim of the scam although not certain of the means but for sure this is definitely scammers work.

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.

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.

I don't blame most people who are victims to scam, some are due to ignorance, though I know their are people who's greed led them to be victimised, scammers are very smart and intelligent people and as things changes that's the same way they update their schemes and mode of operation, therefore everyone out there needs to be generally informed especially about things on the media and in the crypto space.

These scammers are aware that Saylor is a big whale and lots of ignorant and greedy people that are so eager to own free bitcoin without the normal process which is buying and holding would fall victim, so they come with such scheme and feed on some peoples desperation to own free bitcoin, funny enough it works cause due to desperation, ignorance and greed since lots of people out their fail to carry out research about the info or go to Saylors official social media handles to confirm whether the information is real or not.

@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.

I am concerned because this will not be a one-time thing by these scammers; they may have taken the video down and will maybe make some adjustments before looking for another day to cast their nets again.

Not that long ago I read an article that claims the newest generation is not really aware of the dangers the internet can entail for them, something that is incredibly surprising to me, as they are glued to their phone all day and they interact more with it than any other generation, so even if it is repetitive we need to keep warning people about dangers like this, because even if it is incredibly obvious to us that this is a scam, many other people cannot see it and they will be scammed if they come across such videos or threads.

The scams are repetitive; the methods and strategy are just constantly rebranded to fool people who are not smart enough. There are also others who believe that scammers cannot go to these lengths or use sophisticated methods to create a faking video.

Just as you have said, @South Park, we need to keep warning people around us.

It doesn't matter wetheror not this offers is coming from a well known company or not, the major red flag is the high profits margin in this offer, any one that promises you %200 profits within a short period of time, is probably going scam you because on ponzi Promises such profits.

I think you should discard this offer unless you want to end up becoming a victims pf the scam.

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.

Anyone that has been into crypto for long knows that this is not new, it's obvious a scam and it wasn't the first time we have seen such type of scams. These scammers just follow the trend and do their rubbish stream on YouTube because the CEO doesn't give a damn about how people lose money, it has even reduced. Back to then, it started with when Elon Musk started supporting Bitcoin, they used that for long, they switch to impersonating Twitter influcers and hacking there handles to do "send X amount of Bitcoin to get Y amount of Bitcoin"

Nowadays, X is not fun again. You will see someone with problem of wallet and looking for solution, if you check the comment section or trying to help the person, you will see that the comments has been spammed with scammers claiming to be agents and supports of the wallets in particular, sadly X isn't doing anything to ban this bots accounts.

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.

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.

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.

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 Cry

!!!

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
