I lost almost $6000 in this cardano video scam. I got this giveaway event notification by itself on my youtube. It looks geniune.

I dont really understand, how it was running on youtube in large scale, so many people are getting ripped off.

I definetely made a mistake but this is very painfull, this is like my 8 month saving and it went like in air.

Someone with some expertise may able to trace this.

Please help if possible as I am in so much stress

This is the address that I am getting on cardano scan
