hello everyone uh very quick video and a quick alert basically a very important alert
um i have been asked for my phone number on my whatsapp number contact details i've never shared my phone number or my
whatsapp details with anyone i don't intend to share my contact details with anyone i've explained it
multiple times before that you know i don't have the time to answer people on phone or whatsapp
but a lot of people try to post their own whatsapp numbers
you know as if they are advisors or crypto advisor brokers or agents and they've all been fake
and uh disturbingly today um you know a lot of fake accounts have used my name
they've created my uh similar name and used my photo and they've created fake ids or fake youtube accounts and
they are posting replies as if i am replying and you know for me it looked as if i was replying for a second
before i actually clicked on their name and found out that it is a fake and posting some
fake whatsapp number um as if i am i'm giving out my whatsapp number these are basically all the agents and brokers
that i've previously blocked and they have basically been trying to scam
people uh of their money saying that you know give me your bitcoin i'll give you um you know 10
times more bitcoin or give me your money i'll buy bitcoin and i'll give you like 10 times more
money than what you're giving me all of these agents these brokers these advisors
online they're all fake nobody is going to actually help you get
money if you want to invest your money you invest your own money i mean if you're going to go and
invest your money in the bank and somebody's sitting in the outside the bank you know with a tie under
a nice suit will you actually give that money to him not even knowing who that person is you will actually go inside
the bank and you will deposit your money to the cashier get the receipt right
so you don't trust anybody sitting outside the bank why do you trust someone
online faceless in telegram group or in a whatsapp group or in a whatsapp number you know just because you know uh
you think that person is going to give you more money or get you more money you know the greed is what people use
and that's what they they prey on so don't get cheated do not contact anyone i'll just quickly show
you know what these kind what kind of messages these people are are showing and how to quickly identify
whether it's actually me replying or somebody else replying as you can see i
genuinely reply to some of the messages and you know this particular reply for example has got
both my reply and the fake person's reply you know i had explained the one in black is my reply and
somebody has used my exact photo and my exact name and opened a new account and if you click on my name the
the actual reply you will actually go to my website or my youtube account and you can see all the subscriber
details all the video details and everything and if you actually click on the other
person's uh name where he's given a whatsapp number and he's asking people to contact them
if you actually click on it you will see that it's a fake account that's been created you know with
no content whatsoever but they've just managed to create a similar name because youtube allows
you to create the same name in n number of times and they've just created this id today
and i found that there are multiple ids created like this where they've changed their name and the phone
on the on the photo to look exactly like my uh youtube account and there are like at least three or
four accounts that i could see that they have been impersonating me and youtube unfortunately allows you to
create with any youtube channel you can basically take the photo or the logo or the name and create it
and impersonate it and i found these kind of whatsapp numbers being circulated in pretty much
you know most of my comments and uh you know fortunately i was able to see one of the messages and then i started
doing this this video quick video to update and usually i hold it my spam filters
work where they put contact details with somebody else's name all of these testimonials
you know telling that this trader helped me this agent helped me this broker helped me
you know this advisor helped me all of these advisors agents brokers they are all frauds
do not rely on these agents brokers advisors you know crypto experts none of them are real they are all
frauds unfortunately in this occasion the uh the spam filters did not work because
you know for some reason it's still allowing these comments i'm trying to block these comments as much
as possible but if you see a whatsapp number or any other contact information
do not contact them the only two channels in which you can contact me are my email ananthi.lifestyle
gmail.com and my twitter id which is public i always post something if i'm going to share something
i always post it publicly not in a private whatsapp group or a telegram group
where people can be cheated do not join a telegram group or a whatsapp group where you can highly be cheated and a
lot of it professionals have been cheated you will end up giving the money and eventually you'll end up giving your
crypto and they will never give even one rupee back to you a lot of people have been lot of
intelligent people have been cheated of their money eventually when you ask for the crypto
bank they'll say that you need to pay tax and they'll quote a very high amount
that you'll not be able to answer or you're not able to negotiate anything with them you will never get any money
back from any of these agents or you know brokers or or these uh so-called advisors
and do not believe any of the testimonials they're all fake testimonials
so i just wanted to quickly update you because this this could be happening in multiple channels
there could be impersonating multiple youtube channels don't believe any of these you know fake
whatsapp numbers telegram groups don't join any of the private groups you know listen to anyone who is posting
on information publicly on either youtube or twitter because it's publicly available to everyone i think
this person on whatsapp impersonating you know someone else and then this person is basically asking to buy
bitcoins and send it to him you
