The Weird Youtube Channel Impersonation Scam/Virus Comments

[CatsAreSuperCool]

What a lengthy title... lol.

Anyway, if any of you people have read comments in a leafyishere (or any popular channel in general) video, you've probably seen impersonators of them that try to make people think they're them. They will then comment something along these lines:

"GUYS THANKS FOR SUPPORTING ME

OPEN YOUR SURPRISE: +Surprise For Subs Only"


I, of course, never click the "surprise" because common logic would lead you to assume it's a virus. Have you ever clicked one of those, or do you even know what I'm talking about in the first place? I don't see people talk about this, so I decided to bring it up.

I don't read youtube comments

 

[thatawkwardkid]

I've never seen these comments before.

 

[Bowie]

I've never seen those, but I can't stand Leafy, so I can't complain.

 

[tybalt_cake]

I have. I just just keep scrolling ignoring these

everyone knows it scam, its virus. Its not 2005 anymore ('x

 

[Xara]

i've seen those types of comments on markiplier's videos. like, it'll probably be a link to 'earn free -insert thing here-' and its kind of annoying

 

[vel]

i've seen them a lot, i just don't click em

 

[Aquari]

ive seen these, fortunately for me, im not dumb enough to click random links, especially if theyre in the youtube comments section

 

[hamster]

it's unbelievable how people still fall for these kind of things, even if you're young and gullible it surprises that people actually go on these links

I had never heard of Leafyishere until recently and he seems like a right **** so whatever. I've seen those comments on h3h3 videos though, but they look so fake and dodgy I would never bother to click on them.

 

[Nightmares]

Nahhh it's so obviously fake....I've seen way too many PewDiePie ones.....

But honestly why would any YouTuber randomly reply to someone talking about scammy sounding prizes
....they'd just put it in the description or even mention it and the end of the video
I also notice that they get loads of likes and I'm just... ????

 

[namiieco]

never seen them but i usually dont look at comments

 

[debinoresu]

i have an extension that blocks youtube comments so

 

[Antonio]

I never notice these kinds of comments...
