The U.S. government gives away $5,000 in Bitcoin for signing up to a 'pilot program'
Texts and emails circulate asking for your bank details and a small crypto transfer to 'activate' a supposed government payout.
Why it's false: No government gives away cryptocurrency for signing up. It's plain phishing: they ask for an upfront transfer ('gas fee' or 'verification') and disappear with the money.
