10000 ETH Giveaway by Vitalik Buterin Scam
If you watch videos on Youtube from time to time on the topics of finance, Bitcoin, Ethereum and crypto currencies, you will surely come across this commercial.
Even at respectable Youtubers this advertisement appears constantly. Most people should be aware that this is a scam.
But there are also many people who are in good faith and do not always see the evil in people. If they see these advertisements on a YouTube channel that they actually trust, it is quite possible that they will fall for it.
This is a scam. If you send your ETH to this address, the money is gone.
Of course Vitalik Buterin has nothing to do with the whole thing.
The same commercial is also seen with Bitcoin and other crypto currencies.
So please don’t fall for it, guys. This is a scam.
The ad says:

I can’t understand why YouTube isn’t taking a more aggressive approach. I’ve been watching these clips for what feels like an eternity, which suggests that it’s worth it for the scammers and enough gullible ones fall into this trap.
