Beware of Crypto Scam

Time and time again, scammers are always thinking of different tactics to scam people out of their money.

This time, it’s an obvious way of scamming people from their money by telling them to send bitcoin to a specific address and promising them to double it.

One anonymous channel named “ELONMUSK859” became a top hit on Twitch with over 40,000 views. Little did we know that most of them were bots.

The purpose of the channel was to scam people by asking them to send bitcoin money to their address and then promising them to double it. We can’t blame people for sending money but this scam is a bit obvious.

Reports said that the address already received as much as $121,000 in BTC. Therefore, when Twitch decided to lock the Twitch channel, it seems that the scammers already had a new channel as a replacement.
