"I want to raise awareness of this scam so it doesn't happen to other vulnerable people."
The fake site is still currently online according to the BBC.
Research by crypto-community Whale Alert suggests that so-called 'giveaway gangs' made more than $18 million worldwide in the first quarter of 2021, with more than 5,600 people falling victim to the scams. This is compared to only 10,500 in the whole of 2020.
The BBC has said that it is taking action to have the site closed down, saying: "We urge people to check the veracity of [websites] and not to supply any personal information."
