The CEO of IOHK, Charles Hoskinson, has taken it upon himself to warn the Cardano community and the members of the crypto community of the ongoing perpetration of scammers that are taking advantage of the popular video-sharing platform, YouTube.

The recent price surge experienced by Cardano’s native token ADA has made the holders of the cryptocurrency the target of scammers.

According to Charles Hoskinson,  a scam has been going around, using the keynote he delivered at the recently conducted Shelley Virtual Summit, to promote a giveaway.

In the tweet, Charles provided a link to the fake giveaway, warning people to report the video to YouTube, because it’s totally a scam. He also stated that legal action will be taken if possible, in order to discourage such perpetuation in the future.

Charles Hoskinson shared this, “It has come to my attention that a scam has been floating around using my conference keynote to promote a giveaway, youtu.be this is a scam. Please report it to YouTube. We will take legal action if we can against those responsible.”

However, at press time, the fake giveaway promotion has been taken down by YouTube, but it’s obvious that the perpetrators might still come up with other means.
