Another round of fake giveaways is making it's round:

PHISHING LINK: https://lite.foundation/

Looks very similar to the {Warning}: Fake Bakkt Giveway website. I guess cyber criminals are taking advantage of Charlie Lee and the Litecoin Summit, so just be careful.

Criminals will take advantage in every single thing, they could even do the lamest things and people will still get theirsepves fooled and fall into these lame traps. What would be the reason of this continous scams and growing numbers of victims? It was all greed on both parties. Scammers and cybercriminals doing these schemes to earn money without doing any hardwork, greed. People falling into scams despite of the never ending cautions and awareness being raised right in front of them, they woukd still leave vigilance behind and believe even the most blatant scheme ever made just so they can earn, greed. It was all greed all along.

Im afraid if we would create one topic each fake giveaway website we wouldn't see any other topics Tongue

.
There is so much phishing/fake sites that highlighting one is not good way to go.
I think best way would be to create a list of such websites in one topic if needed because guide on using common sense would be probably better.

You can find such topics in Scam Accusations.
I posted one of them below

Probably the same people who had a livestream running on youtube when I woke up. Live interview with Charlie Lee... from June, maybe July but the date was blurry in the top corner of the little window that had the stream. The rest was that same scrolling fake donations.
Youtube sucks though reported it and the channel and 2 hours later it was still running. Damn shame as I saw them pull in about 94 LTC the last time I checked. I can't believe people still fall for these send me this to verify and I'll send 10X back. The chat looked like just a bunch of banned users, obviously the people calling them out.

I stand corrected 132 LTC - and the video is still up. sigh

Those SCAM Youtube livestreams are still LIVE now and they popup every day.
There is Litecoin, Bitcoin, XRP, Coinbase, Binance....
People with no brain are sending them more coins non-stop

In fact it doesn't surprise me since most websites promote the cryptocurrencies market as the land of opportunities where you can earn a fortune without making any effort. Out of greed, people will fall even for the most blatant scam.

Website is also posting fake transactions at the bottom part of their page, at first I thought this was real transactions and they are fooling a lot of people sending money to them. But if you tried clicking the tx ids you will just be redirected to their website again. Aside from that if you look at their address in the block explorer you won't see this transactions happening in their address and their last real transaction happened 6 hours ago. This only means that they are still fooling a lot of people judging from the LTC they are receiving.
