Definitely, there are people that has been victimized by this and most likely the victims are the ones who are new to the crypto game.

Lazy newbies and greed old timers are prone to scammers they are really the best line in terms of victims as they are not doing their jobs to study and research.

People who have the money but doesn't have the know how to determine which ones are scams and which ones are legit.

The problem with those people who are keep being scam is they are not patient enough to deal with their assessment, they just keep pushing forward.

People should be reminded to consider the word giveaway as a very strong red flag.

Once you have read "giveaway" in their title, start to doubt their content.

People will not give you an easy money, especially that it is not that easy to earn cryptocurrency nowadays. Scams are scams, you need to know the difference between the true and fake offers.

I just tried to access the video it has been brought down. I hope nobody has fell for the cheap scam yet. It is very absurd to work legitimately and other lazy people rip you off of your sweat.

I also tried to visit the link and the video is unavailable already. Hoping that we should be careful about the existing scams that can victimized a lot of people. You can read a lot of information in this forum so that you are aware about those scams that was already reported and also spread new information about those happenings.

Scammers are back with their old method but with another new trick. Currently, they are streaming video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoQX4hElcSU&feature=emb_rel_pause, with the video title 100000 ETH giveaway. Be alert guys. They made the channel name Foxnews which is fake of course and they are streaming an @ethglobal video.

I also knew about this scam on Thuan Capital Channel and I don't really understand the way that Youtube have worked. Remove and hit the sticks with Channels which analyze and share informations about cryptocurrency market but accept for scam promotional videos like that, affordability is above all else??

There will be more scams happening now because bitcoin price has started to climb higher. This means that people will gradually begin to lose caution. Instead, greed will appear. Scammers take advantage of this and can easily catch you. Thanks for the info. Be careful, especially this autumn.

New and more sophisticated scams appear all the time. People need to developme general awareness that they can become scam victims if they are not careful enough.
Don't trust different giveaways and that someone will give you something for nothing. Everything that sounds too good to be true, it isn't and there is no such thing as free lunch. Besides money you can also lose your personal and financial data and that can be even more dangerous.

Thanks for spotting this. You might want to add it to the scams channel. I am glad you brought it here though as I fear that there are a lot more people visiting this board than the scams board. Hopefully YouTube can start doing a better job of cracking down on this bs.

This particular method seems to be very popular with the scammers here in the cryptocurrency sector. The most surprising thing is that despite the repetitiveness, a lot of people are getting scammed. By the time we report the videos/posts and get them offline, users might have already lost a lot of their hard earned money. Why this method is used to target cryptocurrency users so often? Is it because the level of greed is higher?

I hope youtube should act upon this kind of streaming much more quickly than normal. These videos should be brought down immediately as there might be people who are too gullible to be convinced with whatever lies they say. The gall of these scammers to live stream using the names of ETH and Foxnews and using youtube as platform.

People should be reminded to consider the word giveaway as a very strong red flag.

Of course we need to Report this for youtube actions because if not this will continue to show in their site.without knowing the risk of the said video.

Yes because youtube will most probably not initiate taking down specific videos unless prompted by a large number of reports received or they simply wish particular ones to be deleted. It is either the demand to strike a particular video is strong enough or the requesting party is a huge and rich company itself. If not and the reports are a few and only coming from ordinary users, they might just overlook it and consider it not urgent. Youtube doesn't care much.

The video link you provided is takedown and is no longer available.
This method has happened a lot and is often done. Even the famous YouTube channel with more than 1 million subscribers successfully hacked them and carried out a live streaming video of GIVEAWAY which trapped several people to send BTC and ETH to the address given on live streaming. Do a report for scamming videos like this. Because scammers are starting to aggressively use this method to deceive people to get a lot of profit.

But we cannot guarantee that they will stop it. I am sure that they will act again to get victims to scam and get more money. money is legit and scammers will never stop for it. That is why we must be careful and also spread to all people as many as possible about the scammers, whatever the suspicious things about the giveaway, never greedy, and also never easily trust giveaway.

There will definitely be similar scams, moreover, this is a popular platform. Fortunately, the platform is very responsive. As users, if we see something suspicious like that, we must also play an active role to immediately report it and give warnings according to our respective abilities.

Unfortunately, many people are very interested in offering large rewards. But if we analyze deeper, the rules also seem doubtful. Is that easy to get profit? too good to be true.

If its to good to be true then it's not true, people should learn how to identify scams like this then they wouldn't fall for these obviously cheap schemes that gives insane rewards. Unfortunately even if this is an obvious fake video some people manages to get scam anyways because they're not thinking or throughly examining the video through review and sources.

snipped...

For companies that own large verified channels, they usually have employees monitoring Youtube for what they call unauthorized channels using their brand name and logo, and these are reported to Youtube quickly, and like other platforms with a reporting system, I'd expect report processing is done much faster if the ticket filer is a company or enterprise. That explains why it was taken down so quickly.

I think it also...And I appreciate how the FOX news team takes immediate action before it drags their name into a worst-case scenario. We can hold these scammers to scam people and even though using this old trick seems still it catches some greedy people and find it unnoticed. Will it glad to see how the community responded to this kind of scam.

If we are all vigilant to these scamming issues we can help to minimize their activity and soon it made them to stop. Well, just to hope as well that people will also have some learning and to stay away from these fake giveaways that will come sooner.

This subtle way of scamming is very catchy and appealing to the gullible ones newbies who wants to get rich overnight in fact this was made to perfection while using FOX news to perpetuate the dastardly and fraudulent will look like its real thanks to OP for bringing it to the notice of the forum member and youtube bringing the video down infact the amount of give away ETH looks suspicious to me however it might attract others people. its a pity that scammers are now utilizing cryptos to scam innocent victims which is quite unfortunate and unaccepted.

There definitely needs to be more community outreach regarding scams, but at the same time people, especially newbies, must respect crypto and take the necessary steps and effort to educate themselves.

There is many scammers that uses youtube to broadcast their scam motives, I have seen some ads about binance asking for Donation,etc. which is obviously scam. Some well-known individuals like Steve Wozniak an Apple Inc. co-founder sues YouTube over spreading this scam. Youtube is just waiting for reports, they are not preventing it, they are helping this scammers, they should tighten their security for these ads.

Those scammers would never rest on inventing or remoulding their methods and strategies to rip people of their hard earned funds. And people are also supposed to have known that giveaways are not but a pure scam.
