Topic: Scammers are back with another trick. Be alert!!! - page 4. (Read 1697 times)

These are just 2 of the so many videos in Youtube right now that is an obvious scam attempt. What's worse is that many are still falling to this kind of trap. That crypto doubler in an instant still exists. Poor investors but anyway like I always said, investors will not learn if they will not experience it so let them be scammed so that they will learn from it :facepalm:

What a way to trick newbies. But let's face the fact, is like YouTube is concern with the money they are collecting from advertiser and not the content. This video has been reported and I am still amazed that it is still up and running. It is only those who are doing genuine videos that will be receiving strikes. 

This because many are desperate to.earn though others still being careful with transaction by giving a little amount just to try how it really true but then since it is a scam.the  pretty sure after giving a part of bitcoin and the promise to double it does not happen then even the little part of it being given was then being scam already.

Bitcoin giveaways is an old trick.in scamming but still it is very effective. Many are being still scam on this because of lack of education.

Hello to all. Yes, fraud is as old as the world. Of course, any illegal withdrawal of money from the population, through fraud, is already somewhere, once was. It's just that now it takes on new frames and outlines. There have already been similar topics here, just in order not to fall for such tricks, you need to understand several principles for yourself. Well, on the example of YouTube and the video about Buterin, I think you need to include logic. Very few people now do not know that the crypto market is a market with very good liquidity, any top coin can now be quickly bought and sold quickly, the conclusion suggests itself - BTC, ETH and a few more coins are, today, money, currency. In the situation with the video about Buterin, it's like being asked from YouTube to put $ 1,000 into an unknown bank account, and in return, after 5 minutes, you will receive $ 10,000. But no matter how this scam was too obvious and predictable, people probably manage to fall into this trap, otherwise they would not broadcast this video from morning to evening. I would like to ask why such videos are allowed to be broadcast, and why Buterin himself will not announce in all media that this is a scam. In general, this is the crypto market - here you have to be on the alert in double ...

no human criterion can determine how that person will do, whether it will be good or bad.
we cannot blame that technological development actually makes people want to continue to try no exception by committing fraud by taking the rights of others.
It could be that the first thing to do is just try it out, but because you feel you can and it is very profitable, then it is used as a profession to seek profit for yourself.

I really believe what hackers do, they realize and know that what is done is not commendable, but because what is done also produces, hackers really enjoy it. we can not prevent such actions because they end up continuing to try with their intelligence to carry out dishonorable actions. what we can do is to avoid them from being able to hack what we have with more caution.

I've never understood why people are willing to go to such lengths to scam people. If you are going to put in that much work, why not just do it the correct way?

Scammers are always anywhere and this is really alarming and this kind of trick is clever. No doubt a lot of people may fall in this tempting trap because of this crisis now. I hope everyone will think many times before engaging to this kind of offer. Its better to make some research as well for additional learning because with things like this, its better to be safe than regret later on. Its kinda hard for the victims to get back their losses and I hope this scammers will be captivated.

The offers that these fraudsters make are known. These sums and offers cannot be provided free of charge. We do not have to fall victim to these offers. We also have to report this channel until they are stopped because there are some people who believe these offers.

Thanks for the warning. Going through the scam pattern, i discovered that it's not really different from previous scam giveaways happening in crypto space, the usual sent certain amount to receive double strategy kind of scam. I hope people won't fall for it but nonetheless, anyone who fall for the scam is greedy and pretty dumb because it's not a new thing in crypto space that giveaways asking for prior payments are scams

Some of the basic things needs to be correct and should always be very careful with whom you are sharing data. So, something like joining nay unknown groups, clicking on unknown sites etc could lead to danger of getting scammed. Thus, avoiding such small things will help all of us only to avoid such types of scam.

if they are smart but if not so ? many scammers attempt here in the forum and on telegram but thier tricks are too basic and even a noob person can detect it   .  smart scammers are the ones that we should afraid of because they act naturally and its hard to spot them.  indeed being practical can help you avoid getting scammed because when we are practical we dont spend . being practical also triggers you to to spend on those cheap offers but be carefeul because disasters usually happen at this point

Scammers are smart they always change thier strategy if they found out that the scam is not convincing, they also make a tricks and they really make a great deal for thier victim so that they can convince and earn through scam. The only way to avoid scam is always do research and be more practical to avoid lossing of funds.

The video has already been taken down as we speak.

Have you reported this video on YouTube first?
It's our main duty to report it to YouTube.Then our second duty to make awareness by spreading to mass people or in this forum.
Anyway Thanks for sharing this new trick of scammers.

Because they are greedy, they want easy profit and hoping that this offering doubling your fund will easily have to gain profit. Old trick but yet effective way to scam and fooled naive or even lazy people. I dont think why  there were always have a victim since they know those circumstances may happen or they are just a poor newbie that always wanted easy profit.

Always bear this in their mind that there is no easy money on the internet, giveaways or doubling your money will always look suspicious anytime.

How ever smart your are maybe when promoting by trusted and verify channel twitter, facebook and youtube many people will allow and want to invest on their address, check last week when public people hacked and promote with investment way scammer git many bitcoin in his wallet just few hours, how come if continue for several days.

I don't think it is clever at all. Anyone who believes some new channel is giving away that much Eth is foolish. But yes using names that sound similar or even copy other well know brands and names is a fairly "clever" idea if they do it correctly. Most scammers are lazy though and just have cut and paste scams. They simply change a few things "revamp" it. There are still scams now I remember seeing when I first started using the internet they simply just new iterations of the exact same thing. If you not winning a guaranteed lottery then you are investing in magic bitcoin that produce money automatically like the ad says ^^

The video has been taken down good job guys.

I think if have know more with bitcoin and altcoin or other investment not have way how to make you trust with give away by donate first, almost people know scammer will get thousand ways how to make some one trust with their trick. Now is our job how to give way for the other to know which one scammer way to fake many investor.

It's easier to fool people on Twitter because of the verified tags.

But without scams, there wouldn't be awareness. Not saying that everyone should get scammed, but as a victim myself, I've learned to be way more wary of social engineering after that fateful incident.

This is quite sad because I have seen these same ads not only youtube but twitter. Worst part is that people who fall for these are generally those who are at their lowest point. Person who is financially stable won't go looking for ways to quickly double his money. I think social media platforms in general should do much better job at spotting them.
