Here's where the problem sits.
There's this list of 50 giveaway scam websites currently active. Most of the sites in that list were found from these Youtube videos (discovered with the help of crowdsourced labor, thanks to Microlancer). Many of these websites were registered just recently.
It takes about 15 minutes of labor on average to complete the procedures (from a Proof-of-Concept) to archive and submit takedown requests for each of those. That's 15 minutes more per site than the author of this post wishes to allocate, uncompensated, at the present moment.
Tomorrow there'll be a dozen or two new additional sites to add to this list. The day after, another dozen or two.
Anyone have any suggestions as to how to combat this problem?
