Scammers will keep looking for ways to act on the intelligence of people and one of this ways is displaying that which attracts most people. Just like you said, they know the value of ETH and thus display to all those who cares to listen what is in for them, but those people who always fall for such fails to ask themselves questions such as, how can a project afford to spend such amount of ETH when there is no promotion or marketing going on, just send 1 and get 5 ETH just like that. Let's be careful of what we crave for and the information we listen to as most are a medium to get to us.
i think the moment you see a banner which tells you to deposit eth or btc to get double or triple of it should immediately tell you that this is scam and the person should stay away, the sign already there to tell people this is fake but only the person that is greedy will want to still try it out, i hope some people will read this warning and take note not to fall victim.
we must not believe regardless barkers who offer stellar earnings on the various youtube channels regardless of whether they are real or fake of hacked channels...
The one question I ask myself right now is, if I have up to 1 BTC will I ever send it out to get it doubled? I never worked for it, this is not trading, it will be first thing that will come to my mind, greediness in people is what makes them fall for all this crap schemes
Hardly will you see anybody that really works hard to get 1 BTC and will want to get it doubled without working for it. Most people that fall for all this cheap scam are the one that might have luckily fortuned from such gambling before so it will be a normal game for them but by the time they lose their money, their eyes will be widely opened and that is when they will realize they have been making a big mistake. Anyway, BTT has become a home whereby every phase of scamming methods is documented and this will really help people from scammers. if you send 1 Ethereum, you will get 5 or 10 Ethereum instantly!
This isnt new for me. Anything too good to be true rewards is obviously a scam. Tempting even you can see the transaction but that isnt a solid groujd for investment wise. As an investor and trader, we should be cautious to activity we are doing. I dont know why some believe this 500% gain. Even on bank and business this isnt possible.The fraud is very professional but I think our logic should also work, how is it possible to just send 1 Eth to get 5-10 Eth is not logical. But it has to be more careful, especially in the crypto world with almost no guarantees, only capital to believe.
Professional indeed but acting isnt gonna save them. Yes they can put some cash first on the first one but no, this is possibly their controlled addresses and fooling those who check the tx in eth scan. Be warn with this.

After all the hacks it will still come down to asking you to send an amount of Bitcoin to double or triple your Bitcoin, this is not a new trick at all, in the past many got scammed using this trick in early 2017, I never let my greed to consume me till today, greedy people get eaten my greed all the time Scammers are hacking youtube channels which have at least 10K subscribers to 80K!

This is good advice because lots of people don't know the difference between a legitimate proposal and a scam, but generally if it sounds too good to be true, that's because it probably is so make sure you stay away from these types of offers
But becauase the channel has a lot of followers they will think this is legitimate and that's the problem even its too good to be true there still people greedy to try it and they will only realise that its scam once the eth send to the provided address.Although personally I wouldn't think I will fall for such scam due to the fact that, the channel had many followers. But we should also know that, account hacks are rapid these days and should be more careful than ever. One time in the history of humans race, one most popular YouTube account was hacked and many gullible were scammed, this I will always remember. We should always lean to research into offers before we venture into it.
Correct, many have been found victim of this trend and its caused by greediness which us a human nature. Whenever I see many of such promise, I tell myself that, how do they relate this with their own mindset, that, you send 1bitcoin and get 2bitcoin: you don't trade with this money to say profit is involve, so, those greedy humans can always fall for this type of scams around this industry. I say never you send anything to get double of what you set: its arrant scams and should be avoided.
This is certainly very difficult to get rid of, because greed arises from the desire of someone who wants to get rich quick in the near future, so that someone can do anything and trust in anyone who offers benefits doubled with the amount of capital they have. The one question I ask myself right now is, if I have up to 1 BTC will I ever send it out to get it doubled? I never worked for it, this is not trading, it will be first thing that will come to my mind, greediness in people is what makes them fall for all this crap schemes

Thank you for the info. although I haven't got it, but of course all things we have to think back logically, it would be unreasonable if we get rewards for free, staking even through the specified conditions, or bounty hunter must also work before getting rewards. but I admit the idea of fraud is indeed smart
Yes, the idea of the fraudsters is clearly very clever because they are always looking for new prey to be victims, and for bounty hunters I think they work according to the rules set out in the bounty program they follow, and that is clearly very logical. 
I feel sad when a YouTuber knows that his YouTube account has been hacked by a scammer, I once found a channel with subscriber 300k streaming giveaway and after seeing the views wow I was surprised to see many people watching. Even after that youtube account is difficult to recover.
And for the crypto community, don't believe in CZ giveaway or anything that's not from official account because most scammers do giveaway using the name CZ.

You are right, CZ is very common name for the scammers, most of the time scammers act like CZ, They use CZ's name and tweets! Though nowadays Vitalik, Roger is being used by them! Actually, This is not one or two people behind this scam method, a large number of people are working together in these scams!
I hope people will research more before sending a single penny! Everyone must verify any kind of the giveaway from the official account of those projects'! I was shocked by seeing that lots of greedy people fall in this scam, how can they believe in 2020 that for 1 ETH someone will give them 5 ETH!

Till now, we have seen many companies done the same thing and once after raising money, they will stop communication with their customers, that's how the telegram will end. That's why we should be very careful with the telegram groups.

We need to search for the other news about that so we can know if they are telling the truth or not, and we can follow the step to make money.
We need to be careful if we want to follow the giveaways because not all giveaways are true. There is no easy money that we can earn from doing an easy way. All the things we do will need time to earn some money, and we need hard work to earn that money.

It is very hard to realize this is fake and scam, as I mentioned many expert people even fall for this scam! In those youtube streaming videos, I saw almost 3-5K people were watching live! The XRP/ETH CEO is talking about Ethereum, Ripple and beside the video, the giveaway banner is moving continuously, so, it is not easy to get this is a scam!

Im aware of this because of our facebook group chat. One of the member sent us a link of this scam through youtube live streaming and you're right this is another way of scammers to scam people.
Well its an obvious scam and only greedy people will bite this offer.
But if you're in crypto world for long period already, you'll know that this kind of move is not reliable to double or triple your money.
