Scammers are taking new dimensions of scams to dupe the cryptocurrencies investors, most especially the newbies. One of the method they recently employ is giveaway of the well known cryptocurrencies. They use the name of well known and rich cryptocurrency investors and require you to first send a certain amount to receive multiple folds of the amount you send. They are scammers.
ONE of such is the acclaimed ongoing Elon Musk and Tesla giveaway. They're not involved in it. The scammers are just using their names to scam the unsuspecting newbies.

I agree that there are a lot of scammers in the cryptocurrency sphere and they constantly find new ways to deceive people and therefore you should always carefully monitor your actions so as not to lose your money.

It's to obvious mate! it was too good to be true, lets pictured on their scheme they use sometimes a very popular name or personality such as Elon Musk, Vitalik Buterin, etc. But how come Elon Musk involve in cryptocurrency and give those crypto giveaways if he was not involved crypto base industry it did not make sense.

Well scammer will do anything to earn in this crypto world. It is possible that newbies will fall in this kind of schemes without knowledge. Newbies must understand how risky it is, before they pull out a certain amount money.

There are lots of scammer who are taking advantage of the word giveaways when it comes to crypto because they could easily get your personal information and use it for illegal matters. There are also people who lies about some big discount of a coin but first you need to give a money so it was an obvious trap that we must be aware of.

True, many giveaway cryptocurrency rewards such as eth, doge, ltc, even their own token by giving a rate of 1USD when registered on the exchange later.
Be careful to visit the website, check first. Worried there is a virus in it.
-
The need for an understanding of this for beginners and more learning. That's what I can say before know crypto. Many frauds occur and there are also many people who suffer losses due to fraudsters who use the names of people who influence the crypto

yes, many giveaways are held on twitter and telegram. They offer airdrop to crypto users with reward their tokens. as you said, the price of their token is estimated at 1usd when registered exchange later.
They ask for our data so we get their tokens. Watch out for that.
-
The story heard it that the scammers where about to steal over 100btc by promising those that supported them to double whatever they send to a wallet that was shared to them. it was unfoortunate that those that were affected failed to understand the scams behind the cryptocurrency system.
-
Not only Elon Musk and Tesla were victims, several projects that were booming were also victims. Always check their official channels. Don't just visit the site. Many of us have been exposed to copypaste malware. Copy address changes when pasted.

Thanks for the heads up.
The problem with newbies is that they want to earn but earn everything quickly. Which is practically impossible in this world unless you get some kind of inheritance.
Pyramid based schemes always look great on paper, but the truth is that they are Ponzi schemes and such schemes should be always be avoided because you will not only destroy your investment but also others.
Keep away from giveaways and pyramid schemes they are meant only to scam you.
-
You are right. We must be careful and smart to check the giveaways. Many giveaways are just a way of scammers to steal people's money or data. I think the scammers won't disappear and always be there, so we must be more careful every time. Don't be interested in strange or non-sense offers.
-
This often happens in the crypto world because there is legit money that they can get. The scammers are working for money, making some phising, ripperng the victims, and also deceivng the inevstment. I often read about the GA by elon musk nd I also don't beleive in that. Moreove GA that leads us to deposit or transfer any saldo fost to the wallet.
-
Scammers are everywhere nowadays. Lately I received emails which saying that there are Bitcoins waiting for me to verified. I don't buy it.
-
Many of these give aways are scam and many of them currently ongoing, only we just have to be very careful on registering on these free give aways. Scammers can pass through these free give aways to defraud some people. Be at alert all the time.
-
Ye, scammers are everywhere in these days, we need to be careful. I see selfdrops not very trusty too. Also, there are many investment sites or bots that doubles your money in 24 hs, those are scam too. Be aware guys.
-
I don't participate in any of the giveaways ever since I began here in cryptocurrency.
Because of the scammer, they are using these tools to get a victim here in crypto space this was the thing
where most of the community doesn't know this matter anyway.
-
Because all trades are conducted anonymously online, You’re interacting with people you never meet and you can never visit.More recent frauds have centered on selling interests in Bitcoin mining schemes and paying extra to investors who bring in new players.
-
Day by day it's getting harder to prevent this type of activity. Also, I think investors should not be lazy. You have to do enough research before you put your money into any project. After all, it's your money and I think no one wants to lose their money in this type of activity. So do not be lazy and do some research before you invest.

You are very selective to choose crypto jobs, but it is good for you. That's true, most of the bounties are just worthless and used by the scammers to steal people's data. Be careful once the team members ask for your ID or ask you to do KYC. It is actually the way of scammers to get data.
-
I'm always careful about giveaways. Most scammers use top coins so that ordinary people join and steal their data like PK. I believe giveways are carried out by well-known exchanges like Binance.
Always cross check before joining.
-
Mostly giveaways are not worth joining, because no one gives free money so easy, like icos, 95% of them are not good projects and scams, so before joining any giveaway look carefully and do good research about it.
-
Thank you friends for sharing your information. About prizes by using the famous Cryptocurrency name, it often happens. I often get rewards via email and messages via Telegram. But when we join they ask for money. Something like this I will not do and ignore it. Scams like this that make Airdrop are now a lot of fakes.
-
Giveaway can be very dangerous these days, scammers are taking advantage of our greediness to scam us in the crypto space. People need to stop acting greedy because that is the reason why most of us are been scam. Don't just take part in every giveaway out there.
-
Yes brother you are absolutely right because many people scamming provide giveaway services. They collect information from bot and don't payments. Don't provide information. Before investing such kind of fake giveaway, please analyse website, social media and team management.
-
I think the crypto market is flooded with current fraud. There are many scam projects. There are currently many giveaways that are scam. There are many scam giveaway campaigns that are exactly the same as the real giveaway. But I can peel off the scams. For this you need to understand that if they demand gas fee from you first then scam giveaway. So you have to be aware.
-
You just need to be guided by the long-known expression that free cheese happens only in a mousetrap. In the world of cryptocurrencies, sometimes there is a free distribution of coins and tokens in order to further popularize them. However, in these cases, it is never required to send them a certain amount in any cryptocurrency in advance. If someone first asks them to send them a small amount of cryptocurrencies in order to receive a larger amount in the future, this is always a fraud.
-
Scammers will not stop unless there are strick rules implemented in cryptocurrency which I think impossible because of decentralized system. However, no matter how strick, how wise the rules, scammers can make away to think new approach to steal other assets. Giveaways is weakness of desperate people with the mindset of get rich quickly.
-
By all means, these fraudsters do earn money. For me away like this by asking for the first money and will be refunded a large amount of money, this is a real scam. Although they use big names or already popular cryptocurrencies. Do not easily be interested in such a way and have many victims.
If you get such a gift do a check and if you find something suspicious, it is better to leave it.
-
Yes this is very rampant nowadays. Scammers are not losing idea to scam people. I saw it also on youtube that certain channel gives away 500 btc. For me, that's too good to be true but if you are new to the crypto space, for sure you will fall for that trap.
-
Giveaways that requires to send eth or btc in order to get the tokens or doubling your btc is totally scam. This is old way of scam but still many newbies will fall for this.
-
It is not only about giveaways, we must be aware from the phishing done by the scammers by offering the high airdrop or giveaways. They may obligate you to transfer a few moments at first before getting the tokens. This is not right. the one you should pay attention to is never transfer to the wallet or place to receive the GA.
-
Many giveaways are just tools for scammers to steal money, funds, or identities of people. Yes, be careful of any giveaways! If they seem suspicious, it is better to avoid joining the giveaways. I have been a long time not joining giveaways because I know they are risk places to join.
-

Correct, many giveaways are only about scams. It is a warning for us to not join any giveaways, just follow if it is created/provided by trustable platforms. If the giveaways are created by unpopular platforms, it is better to not join. What for joining it if we only waste time and get no money.
-
Scammers are constantly addicted to scam. They use various methods to scam. At present, the scourge of scandals continues to grow. They scam using the names and photos of famous investors. They make various plans to grab money. Many new investors fall into their trap. Yes, Elon Musk and Telsa Giveaway have matched this cycle. However, the scammers have threatened their project. A huge team needs to be vigilant in tackling the challenge.
-
It seems that scammers will not end whatever the condition, they will always be there and improvise their ways to deceive the victims. Well, now, it is about the scam using giveaway. I have several times also received this kind of phishing and they are really promising. but of course, we should not only look at the GA but also analyze them whether it is really legit or not. Especially when they order us to KYC. be careful

Celebrity giveaway scams that are giving away Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies surged amid severe unemployment due to the Corona pandemic leading to an economic crisis. Videos with live interviews with Virgin Galactic President Chamath Palihapitiya "Giveaway 5000 BTC" appear regularly on Youtube
-
The Bitcoin giveaway scam problem shows no signs of stopping. The video entices players to send as many Bitcoins as possible to get more Bitcoins in return, and emphasizes that they can only participate once. For example, the scammers claim that if you send 20 Bitcoins, you will receive 40 Bitcoins in return
-
in the context of serious unemployment due to the Corona pandemic leading to economic crisis. Popular giveaway scams are giving away Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies soaring
-
we should be careful of the Giveaway Bitcoin, Ethereum scam. The scam is seemingly ridiculous but has also deceived a lot of people. When scammers live stream videos of celebrities and high views on Youtube.
-
Be wary of anyone who promises to double the amount of Bitcoins you send them as this type of activity is always a scam.
-
I don't believe in giveaway because they are fake and valueless teams. I never get any payment from giveaway Campaigns.
-
Right. When you attend a giveaway event, find out carefully who the investor is, their company, the website is true to what we know about the project. For example, some guys use twitter accounts to impersonate to giveaway, thereby their follower count will increase drastically during that time.
-
For security reason I don't participate in my giveaways except in actual scenario. ;D ;D ;D
Very risky to hope in giveaways because more likely the end result is regretful. Possible that your personal information stolen and used by scammer to scam others. Take care and keep your guard up.

The number of Bitcoin scams is increasing rapidly amid a surge in cryptocurrency prices and deepening economic crisis around the world. These scams impersonate the celebrity who is giving away Bitcoin. That's why we have to be very careful
