Stupidly I fell for this, I’m so embarrassed, there are no words.
The website they ask to send money [Link removed by @Zyroxa]
Also found it via this YouTube livestream posing as Charles Hoskinson
The wallet address they have asked to send the money to is this

I would recommend for anyone affected by this scam to report it to IC3 https://www.ic3.gov/, regardless of if you’re in the US or outside. The more people come forward the greater the chance of it being investigated.
Just fell for this scam…lost my entire ADA balance and inheritance from my father, 2.6k ADA. The wallet was: addr1qxwsq3k5e9jc0m9ad88r28nrglesy0dn2tcul24rhlxe2zhgm860qhjyftctnkg4vqx0ruxdkvczp3ds8jret6azrj2q5lah8f
I feel so sick right now. =(
Feeling bad for people who fell also
What is crazy is the way everything turnt badly for me :
1- ADA was pumping and I was looking for a reason why it was going over 2$
2- I was watching to a Intothecryptoverse video and got a live video suggestion
3- The live video was a great annoncement and there was that asian guy and the founder Hoskinson chatting
4- What I looked was the name of the channel and the number of subscribers : 409k subscribers ! I was like “wow ok so this is the official channel, cool, never did a giveaway, how does it work ?”
5- And then I got screwed 
Only coin that has this scam coming back over and over since septembre, why did I sell my Ethereum to go to ADA is beyond me
Anyway get strong guys, its only money and bullrun is not over, there are other coins that will pump 
Anyway new shitty website to shut down :

They got me too. 
This is the channel that posted the livestream: [Link removed by @Zyroxa]
I should have taken the time to to do a quick search of the channel. Had I done that, it would have been obvious that something was not right. Why is this channel still up?
This is the wallet they had posted on the site:

Just seeing the transaction on the ledger and knowing there’s nothing I can do about it just makes me wanna curl up into a ball.
It’s sad.
I was passively listening to random YouTube, then a livestream with Charles Hoskinson pops up at the top of my recommended list. So I clicked on it thinking nothing of it. As I was listening to Charles talk and agreeing with his philosophy and the company mission, I was like, “That’s a solid dude right there.” Then I glanced at the screen and saw “the site” superimposed in the background.
Long story short, I goofed. Biggest goof of my life. I gotta hand it to them. These SOB’s are as crafty as I am stupid. Lesson learned.
Hopefully I’ll be able to recover before ADA gets out of reach.
Is it bad that I’m hoping for a bear market now? 
Another to report
[Link removed by @Zyroxa] Current Scam Live Stream
These two channels are actually broadcasting scams :

I’ve seen streams like this recently where they have a recording of an old stream by the creator of a crypto or whatever and then tie a link to a giveaway for the crypto. DO NOT FALL FOR THESE. Anything that asks you to send crypto in order for a percentage back or instant returns is not real. Be careful of these scams. Please report this Livestream so we can get it taken down!

ADA giveaway livestream scams.
Lost 10,000 ADA. Is there any support groups that help you get back what you lost?
There should be but there isn’t. All the scammed cardano from the YouTube live videos are going to everstake. And a lot of cardano is being scammed
Surely the devs or someone can trace those scam Cardano addresses and get ADA sent back to those who show proof
Yes they can trace it. But they won’t for some strange reason. No1 is willing to put pressure on these staking/exchange companies where the scammed Ada is being sent back to.
They can trace the cardano through cardano scan and other ways to. Address addr1qx6zh0xjd5plpv0eyhyxuqlrxu2kdtfhcu5kf00fhtmdnxa59w7dymgr7zcljfwgdcp7xdc4v6kn03efvj77nwhkmxds9m94ld - Cardanoscan
The ADA that is scammed through the YouTube live videos seem to go back to everstake and I’m sure Charles and the team would know this. Probably even know the developers and CEO at everstake .
Damn, my hearts been breaking, barely managing to work. If a support foundation for those who got scammed gets formed, can you let me know. I have all the proof needed. Thanks for the fast response, even if it’s not good news for me
I made a template for getting the domains for the websites banned. I found one website named ada2021 . net and the domain abuse email is: abuse@namecheap.com if you want to help fight these websites please copy and paste this template below to that email and we can hopefully get the scam website taken down.
Dear namecheap,
I would like to report a malicious website with this URL: [Link removed by @napoles]
. The website is being used for harmful activities.
This website is being advertised on a youtube livestream as a “giveaway”.
The “giveaway” wants you to deposit cryptocurrency into someone’s wallet
and promises to give you a percentage extra of what you put in. This is a
scam and putting funds into this wallet will not give you anything back.
We are asking for your assistance in taking down this malicious
infrastructure, as it might harm more people as long as it is active.
In advance we appreciate your responsiveness, and gently request your
immediate action to solve the above-mentioned situation.
Kind regards,
An internet user
