I've been noticing an alarming trend on YouTube. For several days, I've seen ads associated with crypto and Binance, which isn't unusual. However, what's shocking is that scammers are using top crypto sites to deceive people.
As someone familiar with TradingView, I was surprised to see an ad offering a 1-year free premium subscription. TradingView has never offered this
Upon closer inspection, I realized the website had only a homepage, which was designed to look like the real TV The scammer's website had no connection to TradingView, but the ad looked extremely professional.
It wasn't until I saw the same ad with a different link a few hours later that I became suspicious. I decided to take a screenshot of the ad, which offered a "free premium" subscription that normally costs $2000. However, the real intention was to trick users into downloading a desktop application, which would compromise their data and steal their money.
I reported the ad on YouTube, warning them about the scammer using TradingView's name and redirecting users to different websites. I've seen over 10 websites being promoted, but I only took screenshots of two for reference. The user who placed the ad claimed to be from Ukraine.
This experience serves as a warning to be cautious when encountering ads, even those appearing to be from reputable sources like Binance. Always verify the link and website before taking any action.
