My Hot Take for the Day
After the James Somerton situation, the SWOOP exposes Johnny Silvestri in the Colleen Ballinger situation, and other videos where youtubers do serious investigative work, I feel like some of these youtubers should be recognized for their efforts.
SWOOP has already been on multiple news outlits for her youtube videos, why don't we give these people more recognition?
I can already name some people that should, I don't know, get an award for investigative journalism or something
Coffeezilla (Specifically regarding his SBF & Save The Kids Crypto scam series)
SWOOP (The Colleen Ballinger series, specifically)
Hbomberguy (For the Plagiarism, Roblox, vaccines, and climate change videos specifically)
Philosophy Tube (specifically for the vaccine video, that was an awesome study)
FriendlyJordies (Got his house fire bombed when he investigated Australia's government & many more people & organizations)
This is a starting list, but please, feel free to add to the list, we need to give these people more recognition!
I don't know the best way to formally recognize youtubers for investigative journalism, but I do know these are some people you should take seriously. Their work is unmatched.

Google Forms used by scammers for tech support crypto scams
🎣 Remember, the technical support of UniSwap, PancakeSwap Balancer, Metamask, TrustWallet, CoinBase, Kraken and so on will never give you a Google form link to fill out!
🛑 Never fill out anything in google forms, no matter what is the fake reason.
💸 Filling out data via google forms is a guaranteed way to get immediately robbed blind.
🏦 Never reveal nor enter your seed phrase (or wallet JSON) anywhere!
But some end users get desperate, are scared, insecure, inexperienced or plain old gullible and naïve, conveniently falling for the same scams that have been floating around since the ICO craze of 2017.
Meanwhile E Mask allowed anyone to buy a blue tick on twatter, so this type of scam is more successful than ever, gee thanks.
6 years later, literally the same scam from 2017 is still pocketing ill gotten gains to cybercriminals.

I'm investigating a scam.
I have been put into these massive WhatsApp group chats ~200 - 500 members. There are a few group admins, the country codes include +1(US), +44(UK), +7(RU/KZ). The majority of the people included in the group have +1 country code.
These chats are named something along the lines of "AI Automation wealth train". Generally the admins only allow admins to message the group. The chat also has these "bots". They personify a public figure related to finance. These "bots" are not admins, so periodically all members are allowed to comment. I've checked the messages to see if they were created by an AI like ChatGPT and etc., it seems like they were not.
I'm still trying to figure out how exactly these bots work. I noticed that at least one had a WhatsApp business account. It seems like the messaging is automated.
The messages are emoji filled, but seems to be "garbage". They want us to buy gold, silver and crypto. The messages tell us to buy crypto, one explicitly said etherium. They haven't posted an exchange or anything to use. I'm waiting for the scam angle (aside from the possible pump n' dump).
If you have been added to any chats like this and want to help me out, feel free to comment below or DM me.

Scam Alert!
I shouldn’t have to mention that in addition to porn bots (I’ve blocked 50 this month), be on the lookout for people DMing you trying to offer you get-rich opportunities on bitcoin.
I was contacted by @teenagethingnerd, a scammer here on Tumblr. From my interactions with them, here is what I learned about the modus operandi for these people.
They will first try to be polite and get to know you over a 3-week period, then they will start using “screenshots” of emails where they claim to make thousands of dollars.
They will ask for your financial information, promising you money.
Any skepticism you offer, they will mock and/or get angry at. That’s important, because a scammer’s worst enemy is always skepticism, and the people who hate skeptics are typically the people trying to trick you on something.
Use google search to check the validity of the websites they claim to use in their emails, and challenge them on their “Friends” that they speak of.
Typically these websites will be 1-3 months old and have no verification to them.
Confronting them with these approaches will allow you to confirm your skepticism of their snake-oil sales.
Please stay alert! And DO NOT give out your financial or personal info to anyone! This may not be twitter, but there’s still plenty of bad and toxic people on it!

Let’s not forget who sold the lies of cryptocurrency: the organisations that reframed scams as empowerment; the workers who flooded into the digital Ponzi industry; the journalists who desperately wanted to believe the PR spin; and the celebrities…

My latest scammer figured out I wasn't Jon Hamm.
In "proving" to me he is real, he sent me this fake video.

Twitter verified means nothing now when anyone can buy it
Just an example how "verified" means nothing and Twitter does nothing to protect from scammers, on the contrary.
The "verified" status fuels scams at the moment.

Beware of Crypto scams, everyone must need to know
Protecting yourself from fraudulent calls claiming to be government officials
In today's world of computers and phones, crypto or other digital scams are getting smarter. One common trick is when people pretend to be police or government workers. These tricksters use different methods to scare and trick people into giving them important information or doing things that could hurt their money.
The scam typically begins with a phone call, as someone claiming to be from a government agency or law enforcement department. They may inform you of alleged fraudulent activities or criminal behavior associated with one of your accounts. To further convince you of the urgency of the situation, they create a sense of imminent danger and pressure you to act quickly.
Once they have your attention, the scammers present a solution to the fabricated problem they've just described. They tell you to keep your money safe by putting it in a place they say is secure, like a Bitcoin ATM. They might say that moving your money to cryptocurrency will protect it from the danger they mentioned.
