fake litecoin,

These are hacked accounts that are sold on dark markets, but some are sold on regular Russian sites.

There is a large hacking campaign going on.

You would think that YouTube would put out a statement that they are at least aware of the problem. YouTube could end this in a day if they wanted to but choose not to.

Totally agree.. had i received an email or something I would not have donated 2.81 btc to this disgusting scam.
The video popped up on my youtube videos.. this video was recommended to me by youtube. In a sense they promoted the scam.

Worst of all I did it on Christmas eve morning thinking it was a Promo Coinbase was doing to promote the market.

Sorry to hear your loss. According to crypto lark, hackers have been using malicious software to gain access to youtubers channels in order to livestream these scams.
This is why channels with over a million subscribers have been affected, as well as why the videos end up promoted by youtube I imagine.
Hope that adds some insight into how these scams are occurring and spreading like a virus.
If you're a youtuber, be careful out there! Don't fall for their tricks of downloading software to review...

It is crazy to see more and more new channels created for scamming people.
It is obvious that there is one source that keeps reproducing this, and it is time for Youtube algorithm to change and do something useful for a change Undecided

Yeah, maybe we can categorically call those people behind as criminal syndicate because of the way they pop up as soon as the other channels are being shutdown by Youtube itself and then the criminals continue their bad ways scamming, specially newbie crypto enthusiast who might get a bad taste when entering the crypto space.

Best is to let people aware about such scam kind of giveaway scams. More they are aware less they will generate traffic and chances to fall for such. At the moment best is to keep reporting such streams (other than that I don't see any option).

Also takes time for Youtube staff to check and take necessary actions, so by the time they ban it is possible that there would be many innocents who got scammed.

Thank you.
This video and all other reported in this topic where reported and scammer channels have been terminated.

Be alert... they are opening new channels non-stop!

Thanks for creating this thread. Scammers will try and try again because there are a lot of gullible YT users.

Maybe the number of scam reports received by YouTube is increasing, the reason why they decided to delete crypto-related videos.
However, YT staffs should entirely watch the video before deleting them.
Because there are informational videos regarding bitcoin and other alts like talking about history, how to transact btc, etc.
And I believe they should not be deleted, as those videos will help newbies understand how crypto came into fruition and what it will do to their lives.

Perhaps they are doing a blanket ban on everything related to crypto videos. Of course, not all of them are scammers, but I guess at this time, they can't distinguished legit ones from scammers in the ecosystem that's why a full ban was implement. But I'm sure youtube will rectify this situation in the coming days. Just sad to see the the legit ones are very affected negatively.

Edit: Here's another one that needed to be reported:

{Warning}: Another Fake CZ Binance AMA Bitcoin Giveaway

Thanks for reporting one more... I lost track in counting them all...

As for Youtube, I don't think they are so stupid to distinguish between legit channels and obvious scams.
There are some rumors of big attack on crypto in 2020, and maybe this is just introduction to this.
Lets hope I am wrong about this, but we should all be ready and prepared.

This is the irony, they have been taking down hundreds of videos as they "might be illegitimate sale of good", whereas there are blatant scams that they completely ignore. Something weird is going on, that's for sure. I wouldn't be surprised to see some "price manipulation" to go with this yt move, given that many youtubers now can't speak out about what's going on under the surface... Just a thought. As you said, be prepared for anything to come in the near future...

Some whales want their $5K Bitcoin that they missed, and as they say, this might be about bringing the train back to the station instead of jumping on it at $6.5K.

this shit will never go away. youtube does not care that much. its amazing how much people have been scammed. there is no end to the number of victims given how popular YouTube and crpyto are. by the time YouTube does anything the scammers will just make more videos, having already profited immensely.

I saw so many of this scam youtube videos showing up every day, and I think people reported them for sure, but why erasing normal videos as well?!?

Many crypto related YouTube channels have recently been removed, maybe because of that, many frauds on behalf of crypto on YouTube, many crypto channels are removed without cause I think YouTube prohibits crypto-related content.

Seeing from the picture, many send ETH. I wonder why anyone falls in love with a gift like this? Don't they realize that this system is the same as Ponzi.

There are still more people that will fall for this because of greed and not being properly guided by the person that introduced them to crypto. Most won't even stop if they are told that it's a scam, they will respond saying “someone I know just got paid” “the system is still fresh, let's join the early bird before it crashes”. It actually depends on the type of person that introduced one to crypto. If the person that introduced you is a ponzi lover, there's a high chance that you'll also lose to it before you realise ponzi is a scam.

For anyone who doesn't know, you can click the flag and report the video also directly as scam:

Enough flags from users of videos and YT will bother to look at it, hopefully. Someone just sent another 10 Ether I see, so flag it.
Also makes me wonder if the likes of Bittrex, Binance and Poloniex would block this address as a withdrawal option if know it is a scam...

I will help report to Youtube so that it is immediately closed and there are no more casualties

Nice work, it's been taken down for now. Still worth flagging the video to get the account suspended (as they appear to still be receiving Ether, see below), even if they probably won't be able to live stream for a while if they got a community strike, but might be back if the channel is not properly suspended.

They are still receiving Ether though, unless this only just got pulled? Worth also keeping an eye on:

Currently not much available - see my websitelink

Sad to see that people are still getting scammed by such blatant and easily spottable Bitcoin-multiplier scams. I don't know if it's greed or just a lack of knowledge that people are still falling for it. While I guess a part of the funds on the addresses are deposited by the owners themselves to simulate people "participating" in the scheme, I still guess a large amount of money is from participants.

So good job bringing that up, there is no way that such schemes can be legit because it's just making no sense where the money should be generated from. If there's a reliable strategy to make money that way, the owners would be rich already, so no need to create such schemes.

A little bit common sense should be enough to spot it....
