The only way I know that works against Youtube giveaway scams is not to give anything from them, or better yet reporting them and ignoring what they are going to say because in the end they are all BS spewed to attract followers that can be tricked into giving their money hoping it will double, triple, quadruple or multiply. I do not think that you can find this funneled scams with just the address because AFAIK, they are using bitcoin mixer/tumbler to hide their transactions.

It's true, I've seen shows like Giveaway a lot, but I haven't done anything yet. first I don't know if it's a scam or not, secondly because I don't understand their language, thirdly I have no interest in giving them 1 Bitcoin and then promise to return 5 Bitcoin, the reason is that in this world nobody does that. fourth, I don't have any Bitcoin material for 1/2 Bitcoin. So I SKIP cheating about things like what is happening right now using the YouTube channel. Maybe they are frustrated because the Bitcoin price is half a billion.

This is getting very common, and people aren't aware of it. I state this, because in those scam approach we can see more than 5k people watching it live. Scams are open without any restrictions, youtube need to take necessary action when such kind of scams are getting broadcast through the livestream.

The scams are actually shameful to watch, not just because they are scams but due to how easily they thrive on such big sites. Those are the kind of things that damage the reputation of crypto.

Hopefully, such issues could be addressed at our own side, possibly through tagging of addressess linked to such scams... so that people who wish to send or receive coins from them can be warned

Bitcoin scams can be seen everywhere and expect that a popular social media platform, YouTube can also have those scams. People should think that it's obviously a fake giveaway and just report it to get banned on YouTube. People are too much, always thinking that there's a good samaritan that will give them 1 BTC. lol

Sometimes, scammers are also hacking some popular channels to promote a specific giveaway or altcoin for their own personal desires.

We should learn that everything we want should be got by our own efforts.

Even though the reports for YouTube accounts getting hacked and replaced with cryptocurrency content became drastically low in recent times, there ate still some that manages to evade arrest and still do this thing on the daily. I’m pretty sure most, if not all, knows that this investment scheme isn’t true, and once no more new players are present the collapse of the ‘investment’ structure will soon follow. These are too good to be true investments; why would anyone in their sane mind dare to see if these things are real? Unfortunately, there are still some that manages to become a part of the statistic, mainly because of greed.

I don't understand why the industry giant You Tube still allows these scams to take place. It is easy to evade the guidelines of You Tube because when they realize the damage is done.

Besides being embarrassing is watching live broadcasts to scam people.
You Tube needs to be a safe place the owners have made their fortune thanks to the support of the community now we demand more security.

I wish managers to channel this security flaw to protect naive people who fall for these types of scams.

Not new as this has been in Youtube for quite some time already (possible a year or more).

I always browse Youtube every single day and I always see different Youtube channels being used to scam ignorant investors. I've also seen some popular vloggers here in our country being hacked because of these people and their channel has been used to scam people. They are changing the name of the channel, putting their previous videos into private and make a live video in Youtube.

Right now, Bitcoin is moving higher every single day and scammers are trying their best too to scam people. Just be knowledgeable enough which are scam projects and which are not and you will not get scammed by this hackers who are doing the exact same thing every now and then.
