Bitcoin User Loses Record $1.1M in Scam Michael Saylor Giveaway.
The method is as same as old scam Youtube channels. I am very surprised to know a Bitcoin owner is scammed by that old and easily detected scam method.
The scam amount is huge (26 Bitcoin) and the value is huge too ($1.1M). I hope people if have chance to read my topic, will not be scammed by that method at any amount.

This could be one of the reasons why Youtube can ban all of the crypto-related videos since a lot of scammers are tricking people about a certain event is happening and a reward will be given once they join in. Therefore, I highly agree with banning some videos who is only promoting some kind of projects that are obviously targetting those new people in cryptocurrency.
And I think that only a few of crypto-related videos could only be allowed to be uploaded that is only supposedly promoting the features and development updates of a crypto project.
I guess it is only kind of probability and Youtube will not release such massive ban on crypto-related videos like what you said. It will do result in damage on their platform. Although that is their platform so Youtube can do whatever they want and think it is good for their platform.And I think that only a few of crypto-related videos could only be allowed to be uploaded that is only supposedly promoting the features and development updates of a crypto project.

Okay mostly some fall to scam of selfdrop, saying if you send .1 eth or btc you will recieved a certain amount, this are post on telegram groups
some are surely scams but some are legit,
also, never fall on links signing up and putting information sharing on telegram , they are just spam, and scam campaigns
to make sure that there are airdrops and free coins, always visit official websites, and not links make sure to report this activities once
confirm they are scam to make others safe

You can also report Youtube channels of scammers on these three websites.
https://cryptoscamdb.org/report/
https://etherscamdb.info/report
https://dnstwister.report/
Nevertheless, they are supplementary sites only. If you find a scam account, your prioritise should be "Reporting to the platform on which that account operates".

I agree with you all, there are a lot of scams on YouTube. For one and a half of these scammers, we are facing a lot of losses. There are many channels on YouTube that are invalid. We need to report them against these. They usually create new channels for scams. We should all be careful.

Oh, feels so good clicking the links and seeing only 2 channels surviving and the big ones going down.
Lately, the whole scam seems to have lost momentum, I'm finding less than 2 or 3 a day, probably it's not lucrative anymore or youtube is reacting faster or both, good news anyhow.
Two that are still not nuked and have tons of subscribers (32k, and 213k)

Please help with a report to bring this farce to an end.
Yes, I am glad people are doing this and I am glad it is working. Hopefully whoever checks the report on youtube end will pass the info on so there are less of these guys signing up.
There are many ponzi schemes on youtube I have noticed. Most do not stay up for very long which I am very pleased about. I really don't understand why so many people fall for these things.
Maybe I can understand falling for a ponzi like bitconnect but these others.

Sounds like I contributed something but in reality, I am not sure my topic has somewhat good contributions to those channel shutdowns but no matter what kinda of contributions it has, it is good for us to see those channels eventually shut down by Youtube.Quote

There are a lot of scammers on YouTube, and you can't ban everyone. You must be alert.
November 15, 2019, 10:36:50 AM
Damn, I was really unlucky ever got a scammer like this, I saw from the telegram channel, they cloned the telegram channel like official binance support. when it was on the channel many people gave evidence that they got multiples of ETH from what they had sent to that address, and I tried sending 3 eth and after that I realized I was getting a scam. so be careful guys
It's different story and you should always look after the real binance telegram channel so that you will not got victimize but anyways since it happens already maybe it's best for you next time to be more vigilant so that you will not encounter any scamming since it's so many scammers doing like that on telegram.
I think there many victims, besides telegram, Twitter also many scams like that, even the name twitter accounts of vitalik (not giving away eth) and also many other Twitter accounts use these words. so really be careful for others.
November 15, 2019, 01:57:25 AM
It is likely Youtube took action and delete that channel already. Scammers will come back with new channels and apply same methods or adjusted ones so I would like to see you reports on Scam Youtube channels, here, when you find them.
Yeah, a ton popped-up again, hopefully, the scanning algorithm they have for videos will start blocking them on upload but I don't know how many reports it takes to flag completely down a video this way.

Maybe it will take a lot of reports since if only few people will report those scams channels provably youtube will turn down those reports.
