Following the leaked revenue statistics of Twitch creators, a shocking piece of allegations regarding some Turkish streamers are doing the rounds on the internet. Apparently, the latter group was allegedly involved in Twitch Bit Scam.
The modus operandi of the Twitch Bit Scam incorporates stolen credit cards. The involved scammers reach out to Twitch streamers, informing them that they will donate money to the latter with a stolen credit card.
After agreeing upon a deal, the donation is made. Subsequently, the Twitch Streamer returns a part of the donation to the scammer. Thus, both involved parties make money off of the stolen credit card, while using Twitch bits as a tool.
