Topic: Giveaway Scam On the Rise - page 4. (Read 452 times)

If not greed/naivety why would someone expect something like 4000BTC, Elon Musk is a business man so why would someone just think he will just wake up and just do something like this when he is not getting anything from you. The only way he may give freely is through philanthropy  and making a single individual rich is not philanthropy.

People can be just foolish at times and is hard for them to break out of their fantasy (if only they can just wake up to reality). AI scam will continue and its can't be stop because just like how others are using the Internet for good others are using it for evil. All that glitters ain't gold especially on the Internet.

You are right OP, similar give away scam like this was used to scam over 100btc during  the covid 19 pandemic. That time Bill gate and Elon musk was the two person that the scammers used to scam people of their bitcoin.

The scam statement on Twitter was written like this I have benefited a lot from the community and I want to give back to the community. Anyone that send any amount of bitcoin to this address will be given back double of what he sent. And a lot of people fell for it at that time. It was when I learnt about this giveaway scams. Don't be greedy and think of reaping from where you did not sow from, because you will end up being a victim.

Giveaway scam is evolving everyday on different social medias, with cybercriminals coming up with great ideas. Which ideas, I think are no longer financed by human brains, but AI. Hence, they'll never run out of AI generated Ideas, on how to con cryptocurrency investors. I found a very real looking tweet of Elon Musk promising a party to users and a link under the tweet. Such tweet, when not looked into, one may think Elon tweeted it. Newbies should be careful of 4000BTC giveaways demanding for 1BTC to be eligible to win the giveaway. The scammers only play with people's fantasies. And when I thought their ideas, came to a halt. Chatgpt was birthed. Scammers took advantage of the AI, by asking it bad questions and earning ideas in return. Although the admins of OpenAI claim to be working on that, but new research shows that, even if the AI is trained not to give answers to questions regarding scam ideas, and terrorism in English, bad players can ask with alternative languages like Zulu. And the AI would respond using that language. Thereby increasing the rate of Giveaway scam ideas. So, newbies and everyone should stay careful of phishing emails, tweets etc promoting a giveaway. It's unlikely to get a genuine crypto giveaway. It's better to stay clear of it, as the few information required of you to join the giveaway can be used to sweep your cryptocurrency. Most of them are now equipped with AI generated Ideas, from what I understood from this article
