Scammers on YouTube - Beware, they're everywhere!

హాయ్ అన్నా🥰🥰 బాగున్నావా..?

ఇకనుంచి.. చాటింగ్ చేస్తాను అన్నా.. చెప్పినందుకు చాలా ధన్యవాదాలు🙏💕🙏💕

👍🏻

I thought I’d won a meet and greet with Ed Ricker in the Greensboro area 😁

అన్నా దయచేసి నన్ను మరిచిపోవద్దు.. 🥰 నేను చాటింగ్ చేయడం.. మెుదలుపెడతాను.. ఇప్పటి వరకు నీ.. Telegram ID తెలియక చాలా ఇబ్బందిగా ఉండేది.. కానీ ఇకనుంచి చాటింగ్ చేస్తా.. దయచేసి నన్ను Block చేయకు 🙏🙏🙏😟😟🙏🙏🙏

Thanks Ed for the video. Everyone needs money but we all don't scam people.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great video Ed, lots of this going around lately. Hope to see you out and flying again sometime soon with us 👊

Ed!!! Where the he** is my Mavic 3 you promised me on Whats App?!?🤣🤘😎🤘

So where is my Dj drone?

Awwh man . And here I was just about to hit u up about that drone I won from u . Shucks ;) hahahahahahaha

This is so great that you did this Ed. About time time someone doing something about it. You the man bro. 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Thanks for the heads up, I get idiot commenters with sexual links. And some one is using my videos as their own on a website I haven't found. social media sucks

Ed, this is excellent. I've had these messages come to me many times. I recognized the scam smell of them. Thank you for addressing the issue forthrightly.

Thanks for sharing Ed. I won no less than 8 mini 3 last month. Who could be that lucky lol. Keep up the good work bud.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Great public service!

I’m the real Ed Ricker 🤪

I've seen these a lot on other channels always using the avatar of the channel they are posting on.

Yes, seems creators have to ask to stay away from such scams in every video as they ask to like, share or subscribe... I got similar message yesterday on another creator's video and I contacted him and ask the same to talk about it regularly in your videos...

Thanks Ed... the same "You won" on several reply comments this week... I don't think I'm that lucky!!! Thanks again for the heads up!

Thanks for the heads-up Ed. I'm going to be hacking the scammers accounts pretty soon and make videos of it for fun!! I follow ThioJoe as well and have even when he created fake tutorials. First thing I need to do...is learn how to hack. I'm going to mess with them regardless, I already do it with telemarketers.

It's gotten of control

Just don't make business with unknown persons or companies.

if you check there subs it gives it all away

Great video Ed!! My wife just got scammed, they've taken over her FB business account. It really sucks, especially for small business owners. The platforms either don't seem to care or are completely understaffed or incapable of combating this BS. I say we get a Black Hat IT guy and find out where they live. Or maybe a Class Action Law suit against the platform. Good luck homie!! Halo????

it is very sickening, I was contacted on FlyPath channel saying that I won a Mavic 3 and a iPhone 11

thanks for taking the time to call out these scammers, have a great day 👍👍👌

Hi Ed! I'm subscribed, and watch many of your videos. I received these spam messages on your channel, and so many others. I've been around since the beginning of the internet, and when we just had bulletin boards (and the military had something else which I was part of as well). So, if you are constantly accosted by this kind of spam you recognize it, in all forms - even directly among people in day to day situations. But I realize most people don't have that 'advantage'... and honestly, I wish people could trust one another still. Anyway, this was so nice of you to post, and get in depth with the subject. It says a lot about who you are. I'm staying subscribed for a long time.

I see you like Minty comedic arts. Awesome

Nice Ed thanks 👊🏻👊🏻

It happened to me on Emilia Hartford channel. I'm like what's the name of your new dog. Person couldn't answer. And it happened to me on Laura Farms channel also

Excellent....thx for communicat all clear. I was also contacted and replied to you on one of your videos. For me the conversation to these scammer was already fishy at the beginn and as he asked me to pay for the shipping i was 100% sure it was not you. But there are so many naive people out there....thx again for posting this video Ed!!!

Great video.

Thanks, Ed, for pointing this scamming out. Theres a lot of naive people out there that believes you’ll get something for nothing.

It’s nice to see content from you again 👍🏼

Well said Ed, these scammers are spoiling it for everyone. Keep up the great work 🙏😎

please make videos of saving other drones ty

Hi Ed, thanks for this. Yes, I did get something similar on your channel But the scammer did not pass a smell test when i called him and used my spectroscope to match his voice frequency and yours and they were way off. I asked him to come on video call and he got salty. I told him to keep the drone as I can actually afford two of the same. I really had fun toying with him.

Have had several of these. I report and ignore.

Thanks for that info, at least I know what to do if my channel is used to scam any of my subscribers...

This is why we can't have nice things. Always someone that has to be an idiot. Thanks for the video!

Thank you Ed. Your video was so helpful. Somebody contacted me in the comment section in another channel. Something in me felt a bit off. I though I would research scans online and low and behold I found your video.
These guys are everywhere 😅
Thank you 🙏

I've been using the scammers phone number for all kinds of stuff. Even gave it to my credit card collection agency that's always calling me to pay my bill. Hope he enjoys talking to "Perry Mason" from India.

They are at it again. Yesterday I received notification that I won a drone from you..
