(not going to link it) but iv seen this exact same scam popping up on my recommendations almost everyday for weeks. I watch spacex news/launches thats why this is in my recommendations .
I dont even know how this is working, i just saw one now,flagged it as a scam,refreshed it a few mins later and it said account was terminated.
Heres what i cant understand, like todays and most days(not all) the channel name was "Spacex"(no checkmark),had wrong cover photo and thumbnail ,had 1.4Million followers but when you look at the video list theres only 2 with like 1k views each , live stream had been running for an hour before it was taken down and had 70k people watching.
The scam is basically a past press conference with Musk in one window and on the other window says "musk BTC giveaway" kinda thing..if you send xxx BTC we will send you back double.
Most times the channel name is just "SpaceX", sometimes different like "NASA".. but always has 1million+ followers and only a couple or sometimes no other videos on the channel ....HOW???
EDIT: my only theory is they buy subscribers,i guess its possible to name your channel the same as another popular channel,hope it stays up long enough to gain enough viewers and scam lots of people before its taken down?..repeat?
