Topic: Could this Live Bitcoin giveaway be true? (Read 425 times)
AFAIK, these channels if they have huge amount of subscribers have been hacked through these cons idea of giving them some partnership and sponsor deals or advertising opportunities. They give some link where these outright owner of big channels to sign up but those are phishing links and that's where the magic happens. Once the scammer takes over of the credentials and login details, they're replacing the real channel with their scamming name and put up a running video about these giveaways. I've seen a lot of this 2016-2017 and up until now, they never stopped.
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.
This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and it's not even the second time; neither will it be the last time. Michael Saylor has complained about this himself. I guess it was earlier this year. I can't find the link to the tweet, but it's obvious such AI videos have been going around trying to use it to scam victims.
Those who fall victim to this type of scam are those who still believe there are means of getting free money out there and are also blinded by their greed; if not, where in Christ's name do those who offer to give you double of what you send to them get their own money from?

since the video and the channel have been taken down, I can only assume that they used AI to copy Michael Saylo'rs voice and mouth movement, I remember seeing videos like that but with Elon Musk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHD3YYDZpyc
I do not know what is happening on YouTube. But this is the channel that is Microstrategy that is registered in United States: https://m.youtube.com/@microstrategy
The one you posted is registered in India: https://m.youtube.com/@Microstrategy-y9c
That video is definitely belonging to scammers.
It is a scam.
On YouTube, click on 'report' to report it as soon as possible.
I wonder if they planned to copy the number of subscribers too, I mean the number of subscriptions in their channels was only 2k+ apart. anyway, looks like the @Microstrategy-y9c account has been banned(which is very surprising), can't find it on youtube anymore. The one you posted is registered in India: https://m.youtube.com/@Microstrategy-y9c

In the increasingly sophisticated digital world, fraud under the guise of giveaways is increasingly rampant and often targets crypto users. This kind of fraud scheme is not the first to occur, previously the fraudsters used the name TESLA and managed to net many victims with the lure of multiplying crypto assets. Awareness and caution are the main keys to avoiding this fraudulent method, by recognizing the mode of operation and characteristics of fraudsters, you can protect Bitcoin from bad people who never stop seeking wealth by deceiving others.
For investors or newbies who have just entered the world of Crypto, especially Bitcoin, it is necessary to underline that no money falls from the sky, avoid being greedy so as not to become their victim.

Anyone involved in cryptocurrencies should remove the term "giveaways" from their vocabulary to avoid regret. Even scammers force people to send amounts of their assets first before they can receive unbelievable profits, such as 200%, as in the case mentioned by OP. For investors or newbies who have just entered the world of Crypto, especially Bitcoin, it is necessary to underline that no money falls from the sky, avoid being greedy so as not to become their victim.

Tesla Giveaway Scam
Any new and unknown platform, regardless of its specialization, is promoted on YouTube, TikTok, or social media, urging people to deposit in exchange for receiving returns or prizes, often exploits the names of celebrities or popular brands, or uses AI to create near-realistic videos of these figures and present these irrational tempting offers. They should be avoided entirely without trying the minimum amounts required to be sent to participate. This scam has become clear, and losing 0.1 BTC or 1 ETH in it may indicate that the person lacks sufficient knowledge in this field.

Pretty common schemes happening in youtube and don't know why this platform let those scam videos like to spread freely there.
People watching those videos need to know that there's nothing like that could give them huge money by just doing nothing and if there's certain amount asked to increase their chance to win then its more better than they should think that video what they see is a scam. No one would give them an instant huge money because bitcoin and those people in video is not doing charity. That's why people should stop watching this video and immediately report it.

Could this Live Bitcoin giveaway be true?
I don't know why you even ask such a question when the answer is completely clear to anyone with even a little brain in their head. In addition, such videos with so-called "celebrities" have existed for years, this is one of the benefits of artificial intelligence. Fortunately, this kind of cheap scam is very easy to spot, but over time, as AI progresses, it will be difficult to distinguish whether it is a real person or artificial intelligence.
I don't know why all these platforms don't deal more with suppressing such scam attempts - if scammers use AI, why not use it against them in such a way that videos like this are detected and removed as quickly as possible, and accounts are banned.
I don't even need to think about it before answering that it's a scam attempt. If MicroStrategy and Michael Saylor wanted to do a giveaway for some reason, information about that would be available in advance on their official channels and websites. It wouldn't just appear out of the blue on YouTube or any other social media. Crypto doubler scams have been around for may years. The only thing that's changing is the person they are impersonating.
Yep. Probably due to Saylor being at the helm of some bullish BTC-related news, he was chosen as the person to impersonate.
Makes sense.

Anybody that is coming into the crypto space without any experience might most likely fall for this cheap scam, they can get greedy and want to make fast money, only to lose their hard earned money to the scammers. We that have experience in the crypto space will easily know from a glance that it's from scammers, it's an old trick that ignorant people always falls for. Michael Saylor, and Microstrategy, will not do such a giveaway instantly and unannounced, they will surely promote the giveaway from their original source. Scammers are not relenting in their schemes to steal from people, that is why being informed about different tactics of scams is very important.

The problem here is how youtube allow this kind of scams, when they take it down it's too late, a lot of users already get scammed with it because the attackers promote these videos and youtube shares it with the users.
If you go to youtube and search for bitcoin giveaway and filter by live, you will find the scams live, simple as that.

Not in a single universe a person would give their BTC away currently.
So I agree - simply skip such events.
It couldn't be true, of course.
Anyway, I checked the address posted by the scammer, the Bitcoin address at least. There were a total of 6 deposits. All made on the 17th. That's the day the video was live, right? The largest deposit was 0.1BTC and the smallest was 0.00012424BTC. So, the deposits range from a few dollars to thousands. I didn't check the deposits made on the Ethereum address.
I can only hope that nobody fell to that scam, but something in me tells me there might have some.
Wow, that's a decent sum of money for such a petty scam. Unfortunately, it's extremely likely that these 6 deposits were actual victims and not transactions of the scammer himself. On the positive side, the video has been taken down, however, the damage has already been done, AI has become way too advanced in such a short timeframe that it's already producing realistic content, imagine its capabilities in the next few years. This isn't a new scam, nor is it cryptocurrency related, a few weeks ago I remember reading a similar story on the forum about an elderly woman falling victim of an AI generated video of New Zealand's prime minister.Anyway, I checked the address posted by the scammer, the Bitcoin address at least.

I could understand why an elderly person could fall a victim to such a scam, however, those who are involved in cryptocurrencies are usually a little more cautious and knowledgeable about internet scams.
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.
So they must leave that offers and never take a look back because that can make their minds tell to them to try. Research will be the answer to find if that is real or fake so people should not lazy to research because that will be their own good to stay away from the scam. I already get in a scam in the past and the scammer using the similar way like that and yes, I lost my money so I consider that is my worth lesson and will not doing the same. legendary

And... they're active again. More active than 2 years ago. They know that the bull run is happening already and because of this, many newbies are wanting to make money in the crypto space hence, investing into crypto. They're the ones that are the most vulnerable when it comes to this kind of scamming attempts.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHD3YYDZpyc

For me, it's a cheap way of scamming people, but it works and it's because there will always be newbies out there that will fall into this kind of trick. Now the video has been taken down already, but if we've been into crypto for quite some, we will notice that this is not true. Now with the emergence of AI, these scammers will utilize it to make way more attractive videos just to scam these newbies.
Scammers are using the same methods because they see that it works. They're just evolving and using better ways to scam people. Just think of this quote. "If it's too good to be true, it's not true."

I have seen this kind of thing even when Bitcoin was not as famous as it is now, but at that time the website did pay and stopped when no more users made deposits.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.
A few years ago, even Elon Musk's name was used to scam with the same system but not Bitcoin if I'm not mistaken Ethereum or Dogecoin.
I agree this is aimed for newbies in crypto because they are inexperienced and only think about how to increase their assets, and using the name of a famous person and also someone involved in crypto makes it look legit and newbies will get caught in it
This is an old scam pattern that have just been rebranded to capture the latest big name in the industry. I still remember those days they were hacking the Twitter (X) accounts of popular figures and asking people to send cryptocurrency to receive double. Many people fell for those scams those days until people became aware of those tricks and it phased away. Now they have came back with another format, probably using AI to make it look real. Such a shame that some people will still fall for this, probably due to greed. "Anything that sounds so good to be true, probably isn't"
It has only one obvious answer, no. Why would anyone on their descent mind to giveaway such amounts (doubled bitcoin), where do they get that money to do the giveaway? Of course, its too good to be true, so better to report that video on youtube to avoid newbie getting victimized.

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.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHD3YYDZpyc

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.

Self awareness is still the key for us to not be the next statistics and lose money to this criminals.
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
!!!
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 Quote

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.

The offers are too good to be true; I feel it is AI-generated.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.Comments are also turned off on the live video.
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.

even if the give away is from satoshi, any form of giveaway that can only happen after the beneficiary have sent out certain amount of coin is a complete 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.
That video is definitely belonging to scammers.

I have reported the channel to Youtube, but unfortunately their action is not immediate, and the scammers would have already had many victims before then. They likely will repeat it with another profile.

Yeah, this one scamming scheme is not really hard to detect, right when I read the title of this topic and I saw the youtube link, I jumped to check the account's profile right away. And we could see that they posted a lot of Hinduism video with Hindi Language, obviously we could suspect either the original account is got hacked or it is just a random Indian scammer's work.

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.
