Just wanted to do a quick video showing the dark side of the internet. Scams are everywhere but this one is hitting us pretty hard right now. Watch the video and share with some friends to keep everyone’s information and money safe!

Wait wait you mean I did not win 2 million Canadian and a truck what the hell lol
Had this happen. Opened users name and reported the link/youtube account.
People actually fall for this crap? I get one of these replies from probably 2 out of every 3 comments I leave on bigger channels
Hello you seen to kno a lot about these types of cars. Do you kno if a 55' 56' 57' front clip will fit on a 53' chevy?
Thanks for your video DD loved the burnout!
I had that shit on my channel too… I just block the scammer immediately. They come back with another name, but it works for a while.
Just keep on reporting them !!!
Everytime I get one of these I report to lube tube as a scam. I've been getting them on 4 or 5 other channels.
As the day goes, if it’s asking for personal information delete it
It’s not just a scam but a pretty clever bot creating accounts and posting and it’s impossible to keep up with.
The irony being you’ll probably get those comments on this video.
The best thing we can do is band together and any time we see these comments, immediately reply, notifying users that it’s a scam, followed by reporting the comment.
(Reporting a comment removes your ability to see/interact with it but it’s still visible to other users until Youtube removes it
Cool story. Took too long, but needs addressing I guess. Quality channel you run, you seem to be "earning" your share! I'm starting to wonder how many subscriptions are allowed. I'm adding this channel to the burgeoning list I have though.
Thanks for the heads update I got one of those scam messages on vgg channel I was told I'd won a prize contact him through Instagram which I didn't thought it was a strange thing so just ignored it
Wish you tube has smellovision , love burnout smoke ..
man ive had these replies i never fall for em it just seems sketch. thanks for verifying!
I hate scammers
It is all over your a tube. Yep, they also have virus’s. Text me bs !!!
The joys of hitting 100K subscribers. A good rule of thumb. If you didn't see a giveaway in the video, it's a scam.
This happens to me occasionally when I comment on Facebook posts. I ignore them as I hope everyone else does. Dan, whenever you have a giveaway, make sure to let your viewers know that the only legit giveaways from your are from your videos only and consequently through your official site only. I don't know how else to say it.
Thanks for putting this out there.
Unfortunate Dan, the world is full of unscrupulous d-bags. Sad, but true. I always report the comments that say" you have won something or check out this site, it changed my life" type of comments. But some people may be taken in by these useless a**holes. Thanks for the heads up
Most people know that there's nothing free on here, and when it is , its usually posted by the site your watching right in their videos, tks for the heads up though dan!!
They tried this scam on me, from a different Vloger, I didn't fall for it! Thanks for informing the masses!
You can't stop dumb people from falling for it. I've never fell for that stuff EVER
I get these all the time. I always go and flag the messages in the system. I hope this helps to get them kicked off but I'm not sure if it does or not.
Dang it. I thought I won.
Unless you draw a car
This is happening to many Youtubers, and its pretty annoying. I do believe though that its happened enough now that people should be getting the hint that it is indeed a scam. Just report it, and Ignore! #BuiltByBo
I'm so glad you confirmed my suspicion, when they ask for money it's a scam. Delete telescam
What kind of people even fall for these scams?
I do like the car
Had it happen with Cleetus, they tried to scam me as i was talking to cleeter in Indianapolis!
Man, I get these just about every time I comment lately! Crazy scammer scumbags, feel for the victims who hsve fallen for it. Just like the stupid emails I get telling me my amazon or paypal account is locked…so many dishonest scumbags out there…be careful folks! Now watch, were commenting on the scam and we will get a msg from the scammer….thanks for commenting on my scam video now let me scam u…
Lmao!!!!
Thanks for the heads up. It's happened to me a couple times I've never answered, however did wonder if it was real. Now I know they're fake. Thanks again
Yep I have had it happen on several different you tubers. First time it happened I actually down loaded telligram just to see although I was hesitant. That’s as far as I went.
These rip off pricks are every where YouTube, Craigslist,Rumble ect ect its so fricken sickening
"HAck" Good to know. Thanks for sharing.
I have gotten the same replies on a couple comments I've made. The language used was a dead giveaway that it was a scam. I clicked on the three dots next to the comment and reported it as spam. Not sure it will help, but ya gotta start somewhere.
They do it everywhere! Miramichi NB dragway park send me a message i won week-end pass. It was so well done. Even when i wrote to the real Miramichi dragway park, it triggered a warp link that went right to the scammers. I asked a question about a member of the organisation that i personaly knew and they block the post.
Ask a question even if you dont know the answer. It scares em away.
Another tried to sell me auto parts and after looking further about the junkyard parts site. Is phone was from the same state but 300km away from the shop. Pretty long drive to go work everyday.
AMEN BROTHER!
Hey brother, what they are looking for is your personal information and really mess you up.
LOL..yeah i seen that i won a few videos ago and thought wtf is this….what could i have won from him…lol…i just moved on
Thanks for the info
I did get that message. I commented on the comments that I think it’s a scam. Haha! I knew it
Thanks for info I also got those messages but didn’t respond
