Phishing Scam On Youtube!
Maybe anyone has heard about this but there is someone trying to steal youtube accounts through *******s in pms.

Here is how it goes:
You'll get a private message from a user named ''qazzaq11'' saying something like this:
"Article about your channel on some site. Check it out."

''Woah, I knew it was a matter of time but finnaly someone has written an article about your channel. I really hope it gives you the extra boost to help you become a true youtube god!

Anyway, good luck with the future. I'm a big fan of yours. I hope this helps you do well.

Here's the article:
[Fake youtube scam site]

Cya! :]''

If you click on the tiny url in the message you will be redirected to a fake youtube site that looks legit, but is not.

After you are at the site, you are prompted to login because a video that is ''flagged'' and is deemed inappropriate. So, after you login, your account information is sent to the hacker and he/she can now login to your account and post videos on it.

But, what kind of videos? Well, since the scammer works for a porn site, it's obvious what they would do with it. I'm not posting the link to the porn site since I follow the rules on the forums.

Here is the first warning video made about it which has helped a lot of people.

Just thought I'd warn people about this if they haven't heard about it yet. Discuss.
