What's up babes welcome back to another video, i want to show you my new background on my computer. This is freaking kong baby. I drew this up on microsoft. Whiteboard that'd be a nice little nice little uh way to make the computer look a little spiced up.

Although i'll say a little bit bright but outside of that not too bad we're going to be talking about something atypical here on the channel today, but as per usual, i like to say that i'm not functioning, then that financial advice obviously take my save the grain Of salt, so let's get into this video, i want to talk about scammers, because this is a topic that i'm actually pretty heated about pretty frustrated with, and it does take a larger form than just what you see in the youtube comments section. But nonetheless, it's affecting a plethora of people - and i think, there's something that needs to be done about this on a large scale, because it's affecting a crap ton of people, whether it be the viewers of any sort of channel right, including mine, including almost any financial Media channel out there uh and it's starting to affect the creators, which is not a good thing to see so, let's kind of just start off here with what actually happens. So if you look in any of my videos any of most channels - videos - i mean i've seen this with channels as small as 5. 000.

3. 000. Even 1 000 subscribers. You get this, you get.

These scam accounts right. People will start commenting on your videos and saying hey message me on whatsapp blah blah blah. I can't tell you how many of these guys i blocked and what they end up doing is this, so you can actually, you know, put in keywords that aren't even allowable or commentable in your youtube comments section. If these guys are so freaking crafty that they would just put these little symbols in front of those things like whatsapp, what's that, for me, is a keyword that isn't even allowable on my channel and numbers typically are not something that should be allowed either, but they Put these spaces, they put these weird symbols and logos and blah blah blah the freaking these these.

These strange summoning jujutsu that are popping up in the in the chat bar. So they can continue to comment here and after you block these, they just make new accounts and this continues on and on and on and on and on i mean i challenge you anytime, i post a new video go look at the comments in any of my Videos and you'll see these stupid scammers pop up over and over and over and over and over now. The problem with this is two main things one. If there are people on the internet that don't know any better right and that's not even on i mean on you necessarily, you should know what you're doing with your money, but there are people out there that just don't know better right.

There's people out there who, if you don't know what questions to ask you don't know, questions to ask and that's as simple as it gets right. So if there are people out there who are getting scammed by this, these guys are making money off of you and never returning product. It's usually something along the lines of hey. Look.

You offer me money i'll, buy you crypto i'll, make you money, then i'll. Give you your money back and they just don't give me your money back you're. Just you just get screwed right. This sort of thing happens.

The second problem is this is considered spam right. This could be considered a spam sort of commenting that's taking place on videos which flags creators there's two in general that i've seen already starting to get. You know some kickback from this stock mode being one of them he's got 516 000 subscribers, graham stefan being the second, with 3.27 million subscribers youtube sold both of these channels. Hey, you might end up getting terminated.

Now we made it clear that these types of comments violate our policies after 14 days. Any future violations of our common spam policy will result in immediate termination of your channel. Both graham steffen and stock will receive this and who knows what other channels are going to receive that as well right. So i suppose the big thing that i want to take away from this and i actually before i get into that - i want to talk about another way that scammers kind of weed themselves into the community and honestly make the financial media sector the niche of youtube.

Look bad and it's people who work their way in and infiltrate to try and scam people and you're, not even going to see it half the time right. Some of these guys are freaking crafty bastards. They they just they're smooth talkers right. They try and leech you in so they can take your money and do good things or make you money or whatever it may be.

Uh, so be wary of that right, anytime. You are giving money to anybody. You need to do some research, because it's your money right. You need to know where your money's going, for instance, if i was going out to buy a car i'd, want to research that car.

I want to know everything about that card. I want to make sure it meets my needs. My satisfaction does the things that i wanted to do it drives in a straight line the wheels all work, whatever right same thing can be said about these crypto guys right. Somebody out there is offering you something that seems too good to be true.

Oh i'll make you 100. 500 1000 returns right. That's probably because it's too good to be true so watch out for that gofundmes gofundme can be another thing right, people promising one thing and then going about and doing another. Those are things that you need to watch for.

It's always always always good to make sure that you can verify what's happening in the community and where your money's going so that you're not getting screwed on the back end of things. So why am i even making this video? Why do i care right? Why? Why talk about something other than names like? I always do. What are you doing? What are you doing holy toledo.nbc video? No i'm just playing but uh. What can you do right, anytime? You see these pinned by trace trades pinned by blah blah anytime.

You see these imposter accounts, not even on my account any of the people you watch on youtube report them right. It's as simple as this. You click on these little three dots right here. You can report the channel and then say what you want to report them for unwanted commercial content or spam bam.

Just like that report, the channel and now that has been reported and that comment is taken off of that overall comment thread right. That's a way to get those guys out of there. A second thing that i find important is to somehow notify youtube right, whether it be on twitter, whether it be that's probably the best place to do, it is to tag youtube and say, hey look. This is a problem, that's widespread across the community, and this is a platform issue right.

The fact that these scammers can weed themselves into the comment section and into youtube to make everybody else look bad is what's wrong. That's wrong with the platform. That's not good! People like stock mo who have built themselves up or graham stefan, who have spent you know he spent years on youtube, building up his channel to provide valuable information for people right. The fact that these guys might get their channels terminated out.

You know, because of this sort of junk these, these scam accounts these spammers that pop in and try and steal money from people. That's messed up. That's just not right right! So there's two takeaways that i kind of want to push out in this video know where your money's going right: research any single time that you're putting money into anything. Because it's your money, it's your money! You got to protect it.

You got to make sure it's a valid investment or a valid. You know splurge or whatever you're doing with your cash right. You want to make sure that it's going to a good spot, and the second thing is to somehow speak out about this. I don't think this should even exist.

I just don't so what i'm gon na do personally after this video goes live. Is i'm gon na tweet at youtube and say, look guess what this is. This is some jack jittery squat. This doesn't make any sense.

How can you be doing this to the creators and how can you let people on your platform get scammed honestly, i mean this affects you guys. This affects you guys. This takes money from the little guy and it directly fights against exactly what i stand for, which is the 99 right. These are guys that are doing things the wrong way to try to make money.

That's not what it's about you do not want to do that, and this needs to get taken care of. So more than anything i wanted to speak out because i'm frustrated by this i'm frustrated because i've seen infiltrators come into the the financial media sector to try and steal money from people right. This is some: it's messed up, it's absolutely messed up and it makes every one of the good guys look bad. So i don't want that.

I don't want that for anybody. I want you guys to protect your capital. I want this to be a nice clean space where people can learn. People can make their own financial decisions and make some money right.

People can have a community and those three things are being infringed upon by stuff like this. So that's kind of what i've got for this video blah blah blah. I don't drop like zero to my friends. Catch on the next one.

Hopefully you're able to you know, pull some value from this. I know this isn't the typical video, but i just i'm sick of this stuff, i'm sick of it. I hate seeing this. I hate that that freaking people are getting scammed by this thing and, like i understand some people might have this opinion of well, if they're getting scammed by that, they probably shouldn't be watching the video anyways, but they're genuinely are people who just don't know any better.

They just aren't right, there's people who, under the internet who barely are on their computers - and they just don't know any better. So let's try and do what we can to protect our people right to protect people's money to to make this a better clean space. And that's what i've got for this video, so much left everybody catch on the next one: light taps and peace.
