I can't believe this. The scammers are using Twitch now. In this case, they are pretending to be Vitalik Buterin live streaming (it's not a live stream though, it's a recorded stream of Vitalik Buterin), and there is an event on the scammer's Twitch stream asking people to send 1 ETH and receive 2 ETH back:
https://www.twitch.tv/vitalik_eth28
https://www.twitch.tv/vitalik_eth00 (new stream of the scammer)
I suspect there are a lot of fake profiles in the Twitch chat pumping up this event. Sadly, a lot of people in the Twitch chat that aren't using common sense, are getting scammed now.
Edit: Stream seems to have been taken down, thanks to all that reported this stream on Twitch.
Edit 2: To people who say this scam is easy to see through, I was watching the stream and it wasn't easy to see through. The chat was very sophisticated and it appeared to be a natural chat at first. I did not see repeating patterns in the chat, a sign of bots repeating the same text. Only by attempting to interact with the chat, and nobody responding to you, could you figure out it was possibly bots in the chat. But without interacting with the chat, the chat appeared to be very authentic, which lent authenticity to the stream.
Edit 3: Scammer is back with a new stream: https://www.twitch.tv/vitalik_eth00. Stream just taken down now, thanks for reporting this new stream.
