Well now I do not feel so bad about posting that link to an obvious scam.

: - )

Seriously, though, avoid scams on YouTube. For those who watch YouTube crypto channels, those "suggestions" on the right side of your screen will have some double-your-crypto scams. As ap17 said, that should be the one and only red flag you need to clue you into steering clear. The current scam videos I am spotting all have the same format: it will be an image of someone like Michael Saylor, Vitalik Buterin, or Brad Garlinghouse, and will say the video is LIVE NOW, but the video will be old material, an interview with the aforementioned well-known crypto personality; the picture will be slightly smaller with a solid color frame around it. In the frame is the scam promising free crypto. "So-and-so believes in crypto so much, they want to speed mass adoption; just send your crypto to this address and we will send double back to you." Something like that. Needless to say, the comment section will be disabled.

YouTubers who count on live streaming for their business model should be getting after YouTube to bump these frauds off their site.

I think these scams are trying to ride the coattails of Richard Heart's recent "fork" of Eth/ERC20. But in that sacrifice, all you were promised in return for your tokens is PulseChain, currently not worth anything.
