The world is at the very beginning days of technology into the financial system. So, people aren't much aware of the technology, quite often when something big happens with bitcoin people used to get some information associated with bitcoin. This is how people learn about bitcoin, by the time when one is new to the network people easily get caught on traps. This is mostly due to the misunderstanding about market that it will make you rich easily. So, from the very beginning itself we need to be more cautious.
Simple logic and analysation never believe into such offering that will give you free Bitcoin for there is no way such thing can be believable. Imagine that Bitcoin price is really that big as for now, it will be a crazy thing to just depend and wait for blessings coming from give aways that will give you hope to gain and earn Bitcoin through it. You will be just wasting your time hoping with that way and idea and basically those not knowledgeable or let us say ignorant individuals can fall for that scam scheme. Just do your own way of how you can be able to earn real Bitcoin with hard work instead of believing into such obvious scams or fraudulent activities.
No way. Just don't believe that someone can make you richer for free.
the crypto give away scam isnt about getting rich because they only say they will double what your going to send on the address so you as a poor you dont have millions to double it but for the original rich people i dont think they will fall on this trick ,
they already rich and why will they need this and they became rich with hard work and probably face alot of like this and scams before they achieve what they have now but even this is just a money doubler , this thing still dont need to be trusted .
Suppose you want to avoid every fake or fraudulent bitcoin giveaway. In that case, you should avoid following every social media accounts that always post giveaways that are too good to be true and avoid opening emails and private messages that are obviously giving you fraudulent details about the crypto space because if you get deceived by these scammers, they will steal all of your essential information and funds.
Adjuctly the most significant point! Nobody is going to offering you free bitcoin when it in much demand & on fire of its current growth.Those you mentioned, are very common technic that used to taking our fund.bitcointalk forum users may know those facts cause such critical issue is often discussed here but new comers don't know much and become fall in trapped by hackers.so ingore such kind of fake giveaway cause money is valueable
We’re not ignorant of the devices of scammers so it’s always advised that bitcoin enthusiasts don’t be greedy or jump into any Cryptocurrency offer you see online because hackers have a way of penetrating into your privacy once you show interest in their schemes. Not all application should be allowed into your device because they have ways of using other application to access your device and do away with your wallet.
The primary thing individuals ought to realize is there are no free cash. I would suggest you wish to contribute one way or other to pick up a few. Airdrops are a way to extend the social nearness and promote around the venture but never anticipate anybody to send you a few cash without a reason. There were a few shrewd contracts that started coin dispersion after receiving a few coins but no legit framework would inquire you anything or any fee to urge an airdrop.
True, there is no such thing as "free cash". But yet people don't understand this. Even airdrops aren't free. They require you to do some tasks in order to be able to receive those coins like share their project or have a wallet which at one point had certain amount of coins and so on. There are even airdrops or giveaways that requires you to "verify" your identity before you can receive those coins. Hence you are giving them your data in exchange of few cents! Who know what they are about to do with your ID or infromation.
If you will go to youtube right now and search about bitcoin you'll get plenty of ads which is showing bitcoin 5000 giveaway by twin vinkleboss or other crypto celebrity in order to safe yourself from these type of ads is not to believe in this and not to send your bitcoin or any other kind of cryptocurrency to any address or anyone
Deception in the guise of Bitcoin is spreading. The most recent and most extensive case is through hacking of a number of famous celebrity Twitter accounts on Wednesday, July 15, 2020. Hackers offer a Bitcoin giveaway from those accounts. So, what are some ways to protect yourself from this mode of crime?
The perpetrators may launch social-based attacks (social engineering) against Twitter employees. Hackers access Twitter's internal systems and devices, and thus successfully tweet the Bitcoin giveaway.
For example the Kanye West account which was also hacked. The famous US musician is "tweeting" he will duplicate the Bitcoin sent to his Bitcoin address. With common logic, it is unlikely that anyone would give free money in the form of Bitcoin, without any veiled intentions.
No one will give you free money, not even Bill Gates. If it sounds too sweet, then it's certainly not true, especially in cyberspace.

I once has been a victim of my own greed I also sent my money before doing some background check and when I search about it,
It turns out to be a scam the lesson is if I didn't get blinded by my greed and check about it first I could have avoided it.
Regarding the problem of fake Bitcoin giveaway which is currently happening more and more, actually we have to educate ourselves by learning
from the many fraud incidents related to giveaway. Because what we have to realize is that there is no free money, even in some countries drinking
mineral water has to pay. So we should be aware if there is a giveaway offer, especially from social media accounts that the person is not
a Bitcoin supporter, most likely it is scam. There is the conclusion, don't be greedy and easily attracted by offers that are to be good to be true.

Precisely. People are silly to think that some famous person that has never spoken about bitcoin before all of a sudden wants to give away large amounts of it. I am not sure what sort of person does this.
I get what you saying and you mostly right but some people do give away free money. Go on youtube and look up "Mr beast" Though it could be argued these people earned and deserve the gift he gives so I guess in a way you are right but it is not like he had to give them anything at all.

Yes, there were lots of examples like these ones in 2017-2018, when there were so many airdrops, and ICOs, and in those amount of enormous offers the bounty hunters might be lost and only logic and common sense prevented lots of people from frauds of such kind. Very often such celebrities' accounts even are not hacked, but they just differ on one letter or symbol from the original account. I met some weeks ago 4 accounts of TrustWallet in Twitter like that, they were fake and gave some tokens via airdrop. The most important is to be very attentive and think twice before acting.
Just don't be greedy. Remember one thing, "Nothing is free in this world"
This is the best way to protect yourself from Fraudulent giveway.

There are a lot of investors who thinks that money is easy to earn especially cryptocurrency because there are a lot of giveaways that are circulating in the internet. They just don't know that those are fake and that will just cost them to lose some amount of their bitcoin. Just like in Youtube, most of the people are being fooled by the scammers because they are using famous platforms where people always spend their time with. Also newbies are the one who are most prone in the bitcoin fake giveaways because they think that it is real when they see huge amounts of money from a so-called true organizers.

Probably you just need knowledge and experience in bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and investment.
When you already have this thing it will lower your chances of getting scam and probably you will never get scam again. Your right no one is going to give you free money there are probably things that you need to do in order to earn a profit, so if something is sketchy about an investment like this giveaway it was probably a trap and don't fall to it.
Nowadays fraud by giving double bitcoin when you send some bitcoin is happening more and more. starting from live streaming on YouTube, advertisements that are scattered everywhere by giving unreasonable giveaway and others. Twitter became the latest news about official accounts that were hacked and posted a double bitcoin award. For ordinary people they will believe because those who make the status are influential people with a blue check, of course many will send bitcoin at the address given. Hackers who hack on Twitter get a lot of BTC from what they do. This is the latest event that made many people fooled. There is no free bitcoin, there is no free money, although the official posting is that you need to be aware.
I think the thing you need to protect yourself from bitcoin or any other online fraudulent is the "Common Sense". You know that money is a valuable thing. No body will give you free money, not even the richest person of the world. If you don't have the common sense of understand this easy matter than I'm sorry you will be scammed again and again. I also suggest you to share with your friends about this awareness so they also not get scammed. And don't share any private information with anyone and don't click any unknown link come through email or dm.

Yep you’re right about that, no one is ready to give you free money, I just don’t know why people are falling for these type of scams. Is it that they don’t know that people like Bill Gates no matter how rich they are, they cannot just wake up in a day and come online and start giving out free money, that doesn’t happen. And the worst part of it all is that people were dumb enough to the extent that they were all told to send money to those addresses to be doubled and they agreed to send money For example the Kanye West account which was also hacked. The famous US musician is "tweeting" he will duplicate the Bitcoin sent to his Bitcoin address. With common logic, it is unlikely that anyone would give free money in the form of Bitcoin, without any veiled intentions.
. It’s time for everyone to wise up and stop falling these well-planned scams.The reason why I am calling it a well planned scam is, scammer were making use of 3 things: covid19-High level people's twitter account-bitcoin. If they missed any one of above three, then thy may not be able to achieve what they have planned initially. Victims might have believed that due to pandemic, big people are sharing their wealth and for knowing our addy and how desperate they need money, they might have assumed about that "doubling" part.
No one will give you free money, not even Bill Gates. If it sounds too sweet, then it's certainly not true, especially in cyberspace.
