Once again, we marvel at the ingenuity of scammers: TikTok has been flooded with “Bitcoin giveaways” from “Elon Musk.”

TikTok videos of Elon Musk supposedly giving an interview to Fox News or other well-known news media have surfaced where he advertises crypto giveaways.

The attackers encourage viewers and users to register an account on a “platform” and then ask them to enter a promo code mentioned in the TikTok video to receive “free Bitcoin.”

After entering the code, the fake site will make it look like it’s sending you cryptocurrency.

But to withdraw the “gifted” Bitcoin, you need to activate your account for 0.005 BTC (about $132). If you do this, the money goes straight to the scammers.

The situation is exacerbated by the fact that the attackers also demand identification for KYC procedures. As we’ve mentioned before, having any personal data leaked on the internet, especially in the crypto world, is very, very bad.
