Youtube scamming stream

Scams
1

So I just encountered a stream in YouTube that claims that Elon Musk is giving avay bitcoins but to receive them you must send bitcoins to them first. Its obviously a scam and chat is probably botted since there are chats claiming that it works. I already reported the stream and the channel to YouTube but don’t know will it make any difference.

@junurmi#142629 This is a problem that has been occurring at least since December of 2019 where channels get hacked and turned into cryptocurrency giveaway scams. In this case, it seems this was a spanish youtuber who had their channel hijacked and used for this very same scam. Interestingly enough, I was able to find a snapshot from April of 2019 where you can see normal vlog and Q&A content being posted. ANDREA GARTE - YouTube
