New scam on Twitch, pretending to be Vitalik Buterin live streaming, asking to send 1 ETH to an address and get 2 ETH back

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:

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.
