I don't take loans, ask for sig if I ever do.

Well, youtube does accept any videos posted online. The only good thing about this is that they accept reports immediately and move on it to properly remove said scam ads once detected. Might as well just look for extensions that help you block said ads, so that you stop clicking everywhere that may take you somewhere wrong. uBlock Origin and HTTPS everywhere could help in stopping you from going somewhere pretty dangerous.

I have seen this yesterday. They are above of the recommended videos on the right and they are LIVE. These scammers really paid a slot to be on top of those video recommendations. I've reported the stream right away so if people can't see the link now, this might be the first time that Youtube shut down a page fast lol (or maybe the stream was already active for several hours or days before I saw it).

But just wondering here, why Youtube approve the channel in the first place? Of course, these scammers will pay/ask first for a special slot (right?) and it will be subject supposedly for Youtube's review and checking before they will approve this page to start.

Well, anyone is free to post their vids on YT. Afaik, they don't really review it properly when it comes to scams and the like? The youtube AI only reviews those that are NSFW, or when it's rated for kids, but it's not, you get a warning or something. That, and copyrighted content.

I thought that youtube have already made their action on these ads but as I've watched another youtube video a while ago, I also saw one ad showing the same scheme. Channel or ads, youtube has to stomp all of them as soon as they are reported.

This is not a new case of giveaway on youtube..

As it is not a new case, it is not a last case. When a channel of scammers is closed, they will open another channel and try to scam peoples. So we should report against them as soon as we see these channels.

Scammers are active not only Youtube but all also all social media including Telegram, Twitter, Facebook.

I tried opening the link but I think the account is already gone. At least YouTube is now making actions towards this kind of scam giveaways.

Yes, and if YT takes down scam (giveaway) videos quicker, it will save people from falling for it. After the Twitter hack and the resultant giveaway scam from those accounts, I think websites and social media handles are now more alert about this tricks and take immediate actions when reported or caught.

YouTube has millions of users that are why scammers are taking advantage of it. And even if it's an obvious scam, there are still who will fall for it that's why it's just better to report it whenever we see this kind of tricks.

Report it to YouTube. These pop up a dime a dozen. Scammers will create these scams faster than you can create threads about them.

This is not a new case of giveaway on youtube and while I'm lurking around with the platform youtube I found out this live.

Again guys there is no platform that can double or even triple your money by just sending them bitcoin. If this is a giveaway there is no funds needed to be send just to participate on this event again be careful and report this immediately to prevent this kind of scams.
