So far it seems noone fell for it, but the scammer was successful to get his fake stream of SpaceX Dragon discussion promoted on the front page of YouTube (83k watching). Beware of unreasonable offers claiming to give free money. Nothing is free. Actively report and discourage participation in such attempts to protect the good public image of all cryptocurrency platform.
