Important Message For YouTubers!

Post by Siren »

Mike Mozart of Jeepers Media got an email stating to check out a website. When he went to it, it was a fake YT. It looks VERY real. It works the same way bank account phishing works. It makes you think you have to sign into your acct, when you enter your username and password, you entered it on a phishing site and they have your info and will delete your videos, and upload advertisements, mostly porn ads. And that could get your whole acct banned. Not to mention you will lose your videos, comments, ratings, everything.

Thanks for posting that! I personally haven't ever posted a YouTube video, but I still have an account, so better safe than sorry.

:pink: for you!
