Scammers are back with their old method but with another new trick. Currently, they are streaming video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoQX4hElcSU&feature=emb_rel_pause, with the video title 100000 ETH giveaway. Be alert guys. They made the channel name Foxnews which is fake of course and they are streaming an @ethglobal video.

I am appalled by the audacity of these scammers as they do anything just to take advantage of potential investors and ultimately succeeding on their scams.

As someone who constantly checks the projects posted under the ANN boards for plagiarized whitepapers, ponzi schemes, and fake team members, I can definitely say that there are several projects that are couched in a way that look genuine facially. Scammers nowadays are evolving and they are exhausting all the means in order to abuse and trick these investors.

I just want to remind everyone to please double-check before you invest your resources in the project. In addition, please check the project if there are any open scam accusation against it or check their profiles if there are any flags imposed upon them. Let's help each other and make this forum a better place so we can invest safely and surely among some promising projects.

It's not so offensive when your resource contribution to the project is limited to posts in social networks, blogs, and video sites like YouTube. You actually didn't spend much time, and the fact that the final payment didn't happen is of course upsetting, but not critical. It is more sad when you invest a large amount of money in a project as an investor and as a result it flies to the wallet of some fraudster. Please be careful when sending money to someone.
