Topic: Youtube scams: Ongoing ADA and LTC fake giveaways (Read 160 times)

The problem is related to YouTube and how serious they are in combating cryptocurrency scam, they are fighting porn and misinformation about the Covid19 in an instant or fast way, but when it comes to crypto, the live broadcast may extend for more than several hours without someone stopping it.

Now, with the price breaking the 20,000, you will find many beginners excited without searching for anything, so the simplest trick such as (send 1 Bitcoin and you get 2) will be enough to deceive most of them.

You are right, the people that are scammed behave stupid, but if we see it another way around, we may not blame them. People like easy to get profits and also what they do not work for but profit from it. Life does not work like that, I remember when I know about bitcoin, I looked online for how to earn bitcoin, pay-to-click site was one of them, I decided to work on one, from the ads that are displayed, was a bitcoin generator, in less than 10 seconds, it generated almost 0.005 btc and displayed a bitcoin address, that I should deposited 0.02 btc to claim the bitcoin generated. I still always remember that day if not because I had no bitcoin, I would have deposited it and expecting 0.005 btc not knowing it was a scam. What I noticed is that human are so ignorant of many things, even psychologically they are weak and decoy to those scam because they do not have the knowledge and experience. I blame more to our governments, they need to find ways thy are educating us to also educate people how scam is real and how to avoid. Afaik, governments are not trying in any way than to deprived people of their privacy and makes them more exposed to centralized bodies like Google, YouTube and social media, and in one or more ways be scammed. Humans needs education, forums like Bitcointalk can help but how many people are visiting the forum if compared to all the whole world, but I am very certain anyone in this forum can not fall for such scammers because even without being a victim, we have the knowledge than can not let us got scammed.

Good find, nevertheless, it looks like the ADA fake giveaway video has been taken down already. But the LTC video is still up, so instead of arguing we might as well used our precious time to report that video and the fake website as well.

Lazy? That's not called lazy but smartness, why? Scammers knew that every year new waves of people get into crypto investment so they have to try the old scamming trick, remember that newbies don't mostly like learning, most scam projects today are patronized by newbies, they can keep making same mistakes over and over again

Thank you Dave1.

One year and scammers on Youtube come back. Scammers on Youtube. Don't fall into this scam trap and lose money, guys. Scammers are stupid and lazy hence they only reuse their scam methodologies year by year.

Then all should be seeing this post and get cautious to every fake giveaways and other related activities. This somewhat an obvious scam. However, there are scam that I'm afraid that it could be difficult to trace or identify. Most likely are those phishing sites that are actually uniquely copied from the original one. I think this is the main reason for the unnoticed hack or transfer of funds (crypto funds). Some users are actually not cautious in every site they visit or even being victim by a malware they dowloaded or accidentally click.
