      It will always be an endless game of whack-a-mole, but I believe RUclips has the ability to make it increasingly difficult to run those operations that it will no longer worth the scammer's time. In addition to IP ban and special character limitation (for username), IMEI ban and email ban can also be implemented. Give the real RUclips channel (the monetized ones) names a special font (and perhaps larger font and the ability to use emoji) that regular users can't use.

And it's not necessarily that he "get's off" on scamming people. There are lots of people in the same economic position that that guy was claiming to be in. People in desperate situations do desperate thing's. As a global society, we should strive to increase the economic conditions for all people - then this sort of thing wouldnt happen as much.
