High-quality background in which influential personalities from the world of cryptocurrencies, such as Elon Musk or representatives of ETH, DOGE, ADA, XRP or SHIB projects, take turns. How did they make a profit from people? They promoted fake gifts that included the cryptocurrencies mentioned.
So we can see that fraudsters really don’t have enough to be able to overwhelm people. They even added a fake tweet to the video to alert them to the event. Just send the cryptocurrencies to the given address and we will double it and send it back to you. Does that sound tempting, though?
