These giveaway scammers are still using this technique to scam. Earlier, they also hacked popular YouTube channels and uploaded such giveaway videos. So that a huge amount of people can be scammed. The more subscribers you see, the more people will trust them and they will be able to scam more people. Since the subscriber to this channel is 200k+ so it looks like it is a hacked channel. This is a fake channel they change this channel's original name. Warn everyone, you have done a good job OP.
I have noticed this scam channel right after google recomending me the video to watch, I don't believe when I saw it, big channel and thousands of views, I've already reported it, Youtube delete some legit channels related to Crypto and a clearly Scam is still available there,sad.
Yeah. It is unfortunate that the crypto community is facing various problems due to these scammers. Now the amount of YouTube channel hacking has increased so everyone should be careful from such scams. I think youtube should take action on such channels without deleting the YouTube crypto related trusted channels.
Reporting it as spam by more users would eventually make YouTube take down that video's from that channel and lock the user account.
