I found telegram channel with more than 13000 people, the message with this cryptocurrency doubler is pinned, many people might become victims!
Its really a matter of concern because they are misleading people through using other platforms name. I don’t think people joined this channel by seeing an invitation of bitcoin doubler. People joined that channel due to HBTC or something else. Bad news is that now they are trying to steal people's money by referring members of that channel to their bitcoin doubler website through pin post.

I have also checked the fake telegram groups previous post history where I find some people don't know how they are in that telegram group. 
I am pretty much surprised after seeing the screenshot of that telegram channel where these scammers are using their pin posts. I don't think its as easy task to add 13k member on that channel one by one rather than gathering everyone by showing something profitable. Maybe some research about HBTC can gives us clear idea about this.
If it is not an official channel of HBTC exchange, then it's obvious this channel was created for some shady purposes. I went through message history and found out how they invited so many members.
Scammers used official announcements of HBTC exchange so that their airdrop could look more attractive to naive users who still participating in airdrops.

https://hbtc.zendesk.com/hc/en-us is actual help center of that exchange.




People invite referrals through this telegram bot https://t.me/HBTCAirdropBot

however https://www.hbtc.com/ is currently down and it's not possible to verify contact information.
This website is working fine to me. I have checked there contact information where their official telegram channel is https://t.me/HBTCChannel and telegram chat group is @HBTCOfficial that I found in the official telegram channel.

More likely they are fake and they have launched an airdrop recently through a telegram airdrop bot by using the name of hbtc exchange. I have also checked the fake telegram groups previous post history where I find some people don't know how they are in that telegram group.

HBTC is some cryptocurrency exchange and I am not sure if this telegram channel is official, however https://www.hbtc.com/ is currently down and it's not possible to verify contact information.

these people should be taught a lesson for using popular people for their scamming activity.

They should be punished for stealing money, not just for using someone's name.

I wonder if Elon Musk is aware of these scamming activities, other people might think that he is part of this, those people who do not know who Elon Musk, if he knows this he must issued a statement and prosecute these people, these people should be taught a lesson for using popular people for their scamming activity.

Yea, you are right they are using 1 deposit address. From how long this giveaways running?  If it is launch today then maybe nobody fall into this trap yet since the transaction made two days ago.

But domain registration showing it was registered 2 months ago. If this giveaway running from then, maybe the fund is cames from victims. But not sure.

I don't know exactly for how long it has been running but my guess is this scam has started recently (1-2 days). At least, fake review and comments dated 19 of May.



It means still they haven’t got enough fools on their trap. Bad news for scammers and specially for them who want to be a millionaire just in 24 hours.

I hope you're right. However, telegram channel, in which I found the link to this bitcoin doubler (it was pinned in there), had many members, which means potential investors/victims.

I fucked up a bit and lost the link, so if anyone find it, please post somewhere in this topic.

They are providing some transaction display (though you can not find any tnx link) that is very good looking and any greedy people can trust and get trapped. Just I want to say it is going to be a big scam.
Showing 100% profit just in 24 hours is the common package in all money stealing doubler project and they use unrealistic profit plans as a bait for some fools who haven’t got minimum knowledge about crypto investment.    

I have scanned deposit QR-code and found actual BTC address that is being used by these scammers bc1q78zrlnn5a47r0dvu57r3ue0cy5f2eh9ckut0tu.
They use single address for all deposits, first digits from transaction display are the same.
Transactions displayed on their web site are blatant fake, because there are only 3 transactions relate to scammer address

It looks they are trying to cheat people with the ''youtube live doubler'' ways. I just checked their website. And My feeling is it is going to be a big scam than the youtube live giveaways. They are providing some transaction display (though you can not find any tnx link) that is very good looking and any greedy people can trust and get trapped. Just I want to say it is going to be a big scam.

The link does not work. should be corrected.

Edit:
Do some investigation and found that the tnx are totally fake. (though I know it must fake)

The address what they are using to sent bitcoin to receive and send bitcoin that has last tnx 2 days ago.
The address is: bc1q78zrlnn5a47r0dvu57r3ue0cy5f2eh9ckut0tu

That is classical example of cryptocurrency scam called "bitcoin doubler". After you send them any amount of your crypto, you will lose it for good with no possibility to return your investments.
Please, avoid such schemes at any costs. If you see someone promoting doublers, please report scammers and warn other users who have little or no experience in cryptocurrency space in order for them to not fall into doubler scam.
