On the evening of June 13th dozens of reports were received by YouTube notifying them that a compromised account was impersonating the Official SpaceX Youtube channel. _x000D_ The channel, which was featured content on YouTubes homepage, broadcast a SpaceX livestream event that had up 80,000 viewers. The impersonators, masquerading as the verified account SpaceX, published a bitcoin doubling contest. It was embedded within the live stream adjacent to the original content. The content, titled 5000 Bitcoin Giveaway, was ostensibly part of a SpaceX promotions/marketing campaign meant to highlight the recent launch of the Crew Dragon. _x000D_ _x000D_ Within the livestream was a ticker board showing the transactions clearing the bitcoin network. To enter, a person was enticed to transfer a minimum of 0.1 BTC to an address in QR code provided within the livestream. Participants were told they would receive double their cryto back. Also within the livesteam a ticker showed the names, BTC amounts, and addresses of completed doubling transactions. _x000D_ _x000D_ The more seasoned users of YouTube identified the scam and reported that an egregious violation of the YouTube Terms of Service was occurring and needed to be shut down. It took YouTube over an hour to respond, by which time unsuspecting YouTube users had transferred $150,000 to 3 bitcoin addresses.

Check YouTube: SpaceX: Special Event by Elon Musk

had a SpaceX named youtube page live streaming a video that had Elon Musk on preview with a message: Elon Musk 5000 BTC giveaway with zero videos except that one, with one writing error that called attention. had a nice setup of NASAs live stream with fake live transactions, that were giving 10 times the BTCs back to the sender, but in the video description was claiming only twice the amount (the scam consisted in sending at least 0,1 to get 0,2 BTC and so on, with some percentage bonuses from a certain amount). the used website was counting down the BTCs available, and stopped at 39, claiming they were reserved for me. nice scam... hope people that falled for it get their BTCs back

There was a youtube account and video. _x000D_ Youtube has pulled down the video and terminated the account, the URLs were:_x000D_ Video URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSRp0gRS6u0_x000D_ User Community page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbN-7Erezqz6JkADOYlkdg/community_x000D_ _x000D_ Person was claiming that if you sent them BTC they would send you back roughly 10 times as much. It looks like 19 people fell for it (I did not).
