This will not stop scammers from using Youtube, because they know that people are looking for stuff to watch on Youtube about Cryptocurrency, it's just that people are too greedy and easily fall into the trap of send me 1 bitcoin and I'll send you 3 BTC, there's no logic on that kind of giveaway, even Elon Musk can do that for real.

I know that but Youtube has to be more proactive than ever against these scammers using their platforms, it may not be their downfall but if they let it proliferate then it will be one of the many causes of their downfall. People won't learn but they won't get scammed if there's no scammer that will exploit their greediness.

That's still enough time for the scammers to get some victims because they have been playing the video non-stop and a lot of people probably have saw it. Hopefully, Youtube will take action with this too because they should be responsible for removing scams in their platform.

It's good to know that the video was taken down 5 days after posting it here and thanks to those who reported it, we don't know how many people got scam by this, only newbies will, this has been the method ever since, they will ask you to send them a certain amount of coins preferable Bitcoin or Ethereum and they promise you to double that amount, of course, it's fake they will never send you back.

Not surprising indeed, but what surprises me is that the scammers took some time before using MicroStrategy as the face of the new fake giveaways. Obviously, as Michael Saylor is now the new personality of being a bitcoin bulls so scammers have to take advantage of it.

Good catch by the OP, we might as well see this in the next couple of weeks. So we are all been warned.

MicroStrategy is very popular names in the crypto market in recent times, they have bought Bitcoin of big amount. So it was already expected that scammers would use their names to scam people, because as we have seen before that all the companies became popular in the crypto market, scammers used all the company names to scam people.

So now scammers have used the name MicroStrategy to scam a big number of people. So new crypto investors need to be more careful to keep themselves safe from such traps, as scammers are constantly creating new traps to trap newcomers.

I am always surprised this is happening over and over again where scammers will make use of celebrity in an unreal way to scam people. People should know by now how important it is that giveaways from people should be completely free and nothing like paying before they can receive. 100% of such videos like this are fake and a means scammers are scamming people in an easy way. I hope people will know about this because as new ones are coming, people are still always falling victim. Even the ones that do not demand for money will demand for information which can be used against them especially for phishing attack.

This happen always on youtube I see something like this on the ads and scammer always use this since there are billions of newbie people are still doesn't know which they can possibly catch on their schemes. Good thing we have this warnings over and over again so that we can get refreshed from the same modus they made.

Phishing and giveaway scam somehow is still the same, they are both the works of crooks, finding a job is not an option for them.
Hard to believe that after all the years had gone by, the same old scam still works up to this day. It's very obvious that no one is going to give money for free but sometimes these scammers still hit the jackpot.

Surprisingly they did not off the comment section, they have an army of shills to make it look legit but once you go through their website they will ask you to send Eth so you can receive double the amount we have proven this method as a method scammers are using it's the same old tricks, don't fall for it even though it looks legit because it's not.

Nothing new here but I still find it hard to understand how they are able to get victims with this stupid and obvious scam, no matter how long I live, I don't think that I will be able to see the real reason that people fall for this. Also, they even use Michael Saylor isn't really a famous personality besides being a businessman so I don't think this scam is going to get a lot of people.
