yeah, right now bitcoin prices are starting to recover. people will definitely be interested again in bitcoin, and I'm pretty sure many scammers are using this to trap new people. however, this does occur almost every year. even the worst happens at the end of 2018, and even in 2019. I hope people are aware of this.

There is a strong motive for scammers to make a scam as they become greedy with the increase of Bitcoin's price. But I think it just a coincidence as they found some exploit on twitter and social media to carry out their bad deed.
the fraudsters also use this hysteria to lure newbies and cryptoenthusiast who are careless, stealing money with increasingly neat and varied motives. like the case of the hacking of the company and influential people in twitter official account a few weeks ago. we absolutely cannot trust any give away that requires you to make a deposit first, then it will be returned 200%. I once said this to the cheater that my DM was telegraphed: "I don't have money to deposit, what if you give me 50% of it?"
lol
and the cheater is no longer replying to my chat.
so, be careful ... keep using logic and don't be easily provoked.

Scam giveaways are not giveaway, they require you to send some coins to them.
They fake promising that they will give you multiple times from the coin you sent to them, which is clearly scam for me, not giveaway.
Just keep in mind that every giveaways that asking to send coin is scam.

Some scam giveaways might not necessarily ask you to send funds in order to receive double or so. Some will require you to login/import to maybe a cloned blockchain wallet in order to claim your giveaway, meanwhile they will use that medium to steal your private keys or mnemonic phrase. This is just one of the many other instances. But why do people still fall for obvious crypto scams, so annoying.

Fake giveaway or scam giveaway has been around for a while, maybe you are just noticing. It is very common on social media especially on Facebook and Twitter. They create profile pages similar to any popular project or a popular personality. Novices and newbies, new crypto adopters just need to know how to identify and avoid them. And greed level should be properly checked from time to time.

This not planned; instead, it's a common scheme nowadays. Because whenever Bitcoin price shows an uptrend, scammers come out from whole and try to scam greedy people! I think these Scam giveaways make a negative impact on cryptocurrency; this is not a coincidence in any way!

Yes the fake giveaway is one of the easiest and favorite option for the hackers and the used to do it for the years. But this time they brought a new level they hacked the twitter accounts rather than making a fake one. And there are lot of fake giveaway youtube streaming to scam the newcomer crypto investors.

I have seen quite a lot flying around in every corner of the crypto space, one Important thing most people should know is that, scammers don't joke with any slight opportunity, that is, once they see an opportunity to scam they leverage on it without wasting time. Bitcoin and in fact most top coins like Ethereum has been growing massively for the past few days now and that is a good reason for scammers to bring in fake giveaways and because most people are greedy, they always fall for it. Another reason to be careful of scam giveaways is due to Defi projects hype, that is, scammers will also use it to achieve their aims. Therefore, let everyone be contented and be careful of these giveaways.

Guess the hacker also wants to have Bitcoin after seeing some sign indicate price moving forward and market recovery. Who knows, maybe they're also a crypto follower and want to invest in crypto by utilizing their hacking skill to get it. Nothing is just a coincidence.

Under the guise of another growth in cryptocurrency and attracting new users, the scammers again activated their deception schemes. Mostly newcomers come across, because those who have already encountered this, the second time here will not come to a rake. You have to be careful.

Unfortunately scam is something that is part of our lives, there is really not that much we can do to actually change that but what we can do is just accept it and move on without really worrying too much about it, if you can't change something and you can't stop that thing, all you can do is ignore it and move on.

Now if you get scammed, that is a bad thing and you would care, and I know that you would want someone to stop you as well, if you are about to get scammed and someone wrote something here saying they are scammers you would probably be thankful to them, so if you are happy that someone else stopped you, that means you should aim at stopping others and helping them as well right?

Well, that is an ethical dilemma but you are not forced to, just because there are people out there helping others doesn't mean you have to do that too, you can just ignore scammers and move on.

Bitcoin is now moving up and so many social media of popular people are hacked, is this coincidence or planned.

Scamming and hacking are done with intention to cheat. Scammers want your money and they would do their illegal business that time you can't have a clue and the time of plenty because you are more relaxed. Well maybe the bitcoin bull might not be part of it but there is high possibility for that to also be a reason.

Do people notice that these scam giveaways are just happening this year after the halving and many social media hacks are happening
are all these planned because people are tempted to give in and fall in this scam giveaways because of the big bonus
Bitcoin is now moving up and so many social media of popular people are hacked, is this coincidence or planned.
These types of scams are not something new to the market. They are observed every year with some different tactics.
Last year, scammers used to make fake telegram account of Binance and organize fake giveaways claiming to double the sender’s amount. This year it’s the twitter accounts that have been hacked and are claiming to double the sender’s bitcoin amount.

They are planned that’s for sure but not for some specific occasions. They tend to take place from time to time and nothing can be done about it except increasing the security and staying smart enough to toggle such situations.

These scammes know what they are doing, they know that in a bear market people will be dumping their tokens and leave the space but in a bull market new people are entering the space looking for quick profit because they have heard about how someone made 10X investing in one project. Newbies are those that are liable to fall victim of these
well because of this many investors are disappointed with cryptocurrency because they are exposed to scams and stuck at high prices, investors should be more vigilant when they want to buy a token or coin do not buy when prices are rising and do not let you be tempted by a green bar.

And you must to know, giveaways is free, if the requirement must send money before send reward, of course that is scam giveaways
Yeah, some people are really stupid or greedy for falling this type of giveaways scam even there are so much talk about never giving your money in a giveaway.

Giveaways are free that's why people are joining it because of the chance to win and earn free money. We could not stop these scammers the only thing that we could do is to avoid and not joining of these obvious scam. Even bitcoin moving up we must be careful.
