Always remember: If it seems too good to be true, it is.
words to live by
wouldn't it be "it isn't"? /gen
@@amyy.y9318 nope. “Seeming too good to be true” is something that’s amazing and the chances of it actually happening are incredibly low. Of course, there are exceptions (say, a woman with low fertility becoming pregnant) but in these situations, if the chances are astronomically low that you won a flat screen tv by sitting on your ass and liking an instagram post, it is absolutely too good to be true.
@@amyy.y9318 the sentence means "If it seems too good to be true, it IS really truly too good to be true" = it's fake
@@amyy.y9318 no. Saying something is “too good to be true” is a way to say that it isn’t true
This is one of my least favorite parts of the art community, I find it horrible that scammers will use the face and brand of someone else for their ill-intended benefits. Just why?
They have too much time to spend and they only have this to do
these scammers are everywhere
it is almost like they autonomously selects a popular youtuber and creates an account based on their username and profile picture
bc they can't get real jobs.
This isn't just a problem to the Art Community. This is merely a branch of the bigger problem in RUclips. Sadly, we can never know if Susan or anyone in the company would do anything about this.
Sadly i saw more of that "telegram-scammers" under other popular youtube creators. Not only artists. Wouldn't be surprised if Mohammed also was victim of this.
For a sec I thought he himself started scamming, until I realized “fake” plastered and even straight up said.
It sucks that people fake successful creators just to get a quick buck
it's so annoying. and they keep doing it to creators and scamming their audiences.
"If you want your first milion ($) - steal it" . Basically that's what old sentence is about. But scammers prolly won't stop even after.
@@MohammedAgbadi yeah…even some less known animators and artists that I watch also get these stupid comments (which is surprising considering scammers target the most well known RUclipsrs throughout)
Me too I-
I’m stupid
It’s crazy how anyone can just do anything for money. LITERALLY ANYTHING. Good thing the verified icon exists.
You spoke too soon, reason Twitter(anyone can be verified on there now) and that's the joke I guess
@@crimsonsilvermoon they created another verified on twitter, one is paied and other is for show that the acc is actually verified, idk why Elon Musk didn't just create a Twitter Premuim symbol insted of using the verified and why is he creating this after all lol
@@HappyDraggon huh, cool
Verification on twitter shouldn't have been a thing in the first place. We let Twitter control over real life for a long time we can't imagine without it controlling discourse
@@crimsonsilvermoon that’s the joke lol
Word of advice. If they say the word TELEGRAM, block it.
that's what i noticed! all the fake accounts are on telegram!!
My mum just had a scammer message her in Telegram, telling that they're from Ikea lol. I quickly block all of it.
From my experience, we only ask people to send their addresses/personal info to our official email address. Why? Because emails are safer for us and the other person. If they ask you to send your personal info through Instagram/FB/etc. always question it.
I agree
These YT scammers are a plague.
it's literally so annoying tbh
These scammers are really becoming a big problem. Thanks for bringing more awareness and exposing the terrible people who take advantage of others and steal their hard earned money.
its insane, i keep seeing these scammers under so many comments. ive seen a huge wave of scammers and bots lately. i really hope youtube will take these accounts seriously
Yeah, i've seen the exact same thing on other videos by other RUclipsrs. It's horrible how people would do it
Sad how people try to manipulate genuine fans of others into giving them personal information or money. And how that kind of thing is expected in this messed up world we live in. Thank you for spreading awareness to people who don't know. 🙌
hey i found you here too 😩💀💀
@Hzspng we're everywhere lol 😂💀
@@SOLEILarts yes lets take over the whole internet muhuhahaha(laughs in evil)
I thought you meant the ACTUAL samdoesart and I got worried for a sec
this is why i clicked the video so fast 💀
Damn same
@A_U_M_S_ also same
Same ":0
come onnnnn!!! sam is cool! i love him
Bro can't catch a break 😭 first the AI stable diffusion stuff then this, I feel bad for him
lil bro having the worst week...
People… if your favorite RUclipsr, who you watch every video of, has never mentioned a giveaway in any of those videos… then it’s a scam. Even if they’ve mentioned a giveaway, always verify you’re talking to the actual channel. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Sadly.... this is becomming a problem even outside the art community as well. I've gotten this exact scam commented on my comments in channels of Game Theory, Daniel Greene, and even Charlotte Dobre have been getting people pretending to be her to the point that she decided to "scam the Scammer" with one of her videos. RUclips really needs to actually do something as it's hurting creators overall. and I've tried reporting them but there's not much I can do but to do only that and bring awareness that it's happening. Hopefully this video brings out more of the awareness of this being an issue.
fr and i think that markiplier has had people impersonating him and scamming his audience since like 2018
This has been going on for YEARS now and it pisses me off
It’s strange how these scammers try harder in scamming people instead of using that creativity in anything useful or entertaining
lmaooo now that's a riveting thought
Let me paraphrase catchprhase you can find on other big yt channel - Viva la dirt ligue. They created muggers that are part of "Epic NPC man" series. If we replace "muggers" with "scammers" their lines would be like:
- Who are we?
- We're Scammers.
- So what scammers do?
- They scam ppl!
- So let's go scam 'em!
@@utrock5067 lol let’s scam them is the funniest line I’ve read today
The main problem is that RUclips doesn't solve the bot issues. Tbh my comments always get bot replys like telegram. In order to counter this, you either report these accounts or RUclipsr should use comment restriction. I wanna report to RUclips but they never respond to my voice. God, bots are super annoying.
I've been seeing fake accounts a lot. All over RUclips. It's unsettling how much I see them.
they're everywhere and youtube don't do nothing about them i dont know why
@@MohammedAgbadi I'm worried someone is going to fall for it, and lose everything. Not just kids, but adults too. I'm constantly telling my parents not to click on links or respond to messages offer "prizes." They own they're own busy they are smart people, but even they got scammed by something in the mail a couple years ago.
They now both spend time on RUclips, so I worry. People say "It's obviously a scam," but there ARE people out there that will fall for it. I just hope no one gets hurt.
For a second, I didn't see the "fake" in the title and my heart literally shattered for a second-
(No, but how can someone do this Sam? Not only does it upset his fans, but it just gives Sam a bad name in general?)
I remember years ago, when I was still a teen, fake instagram account of popular RUclipsr would dm the followers of the real accounts, telling them that they won an iPhone.
I personally never received this type of dm, but I know that a lot of fans, especially kids, fell for it.
Then the actual RUclipsrs would warn us in videos but they couldn’t control much, until this movement died out.
Ahhhh… qinni… she was such an angel, a good one, of course… she didn’t deserve all of this… I remember crying when I learned that she died. I remember when many artists, including me, made art tributes to her.
The scammers who made the nfts of her work have no feeling. Thes disgust me. Anyways I hope that her next life is better then her latest one.
Bro I thought this was a sam roast video at first before reading the title lmfao. Thought you guys had beef suddenly. 💀💀
This happens everywhere on RUclips, not just the art community. Literally every creator with significant viewership
I feel like I should mention: I've seen scam like this under SamDoesArt 's channel, Jazza's channel, and even yours. It's pretty widespread on YT at the moment. Probably best to ignore and report. Any experienced RUclipsr won't do giveaways like that.
1) they would use the same profile (check if clicking the profile links to the main channel you were just on)
2) they would pre- announce the competition (they don't do this - nay, CANNOT do this - out of sheer liking for fans, they also use this for publicity. Doing a giveaway in secret or without fanfare doesn't help them. )
3) they usually don't do it on RUclips(not a hard and fast rule, just a common thing. )
They all use same script
How can anyone fall for such an obvious scam?
We need more youtubers shedding light to this problem. It really _is_ becoming a plague here on youtube :( sucks that scammers/bots would scam genuine people and probably ruin their lives just for a “special prize” or whatever.
I really appreciate that you gave advices so that people are aware of these scammers bruh 😩 (loved the video!! keep it up mann!!)
Is awful how someone can just pretend to be someone else,scam someone and there's not really much anyone can do about it
This is so sad! It's happening on Charlotte Dobre's channel and she's not a digital artist at all. She's a photographer/filmmaker/influencer and she just made a video about it. Feels so whack there's a bunch of scammers on more than one channel and stuff. Im sure it's happened for a long time but it's being talked about more or feels like it. Scammers are horrible. Thanks for your insights, Mohammed!!!
I DIDNT READ THE FAKE PART AND I AUDIBLY GASPED
ahhh comeon hahhaa sammy is good
This is happening across the board on RUclips and social media in general!
You know what is the first obvious flag? You are following youtuber and watch all his videos and he never mentions any giveaway in them yet somehow he manages to find you among tons of comments ON HIS OWN VIDEO and writes to you from FROM ANOTHER ACCOUNT that you have won giveaway for which YOU HAVE NEVER ENTERED.
Yeah!
That's what I noticed too.
Same thing *almost* happened to me. Someone pretended to be Gabaleth (A comic dub channel I follow) and tried to scam me. I automatically knew it was fake though.
Moral of the story: If they try to impersonate someone you sub to and have "Telegram me" at the start of the username, *IT'S A SCAM!! DON'T FALL FOR IT!!*
Thanks for the advice and spreading awareness! I had this or another one of these scammers reply to my comment too, I realised they were a scammer right away luckily but these people are really shitty..
Yeah, intellectual property theft is really annoying.This goes beyond art too. I had a few of my web fiction stolen and is posted on a site and I absolutely can do nothing about it. It's like, you can read the stories for free, without the terrible formatting issues on my site. I love how immediately they stopped copying my stuff when I wrote into two of the stories about how they are pirated stories and links where you can read revised and updated version of them. However, the bulk of some of my work is still there.
Am I the only one that thinks what scammers have on their minds ? Manipulating people like that, do they even have some decency ?
bro like they don't even think about feelings just straight scamming people
@@MohammedAgbadi yeah that’s messed up..
it's not even worth it to try and look into that, taking money from the people they don't know and will never meet is something that wont affect them at all which is where they draw the line, they don't care whether or not it's morally wrong. there's thousands of scam companies and call centers that literally focus on just taking money from people from across the world.
basically, if something feels too good to be true on the internet, it probably is.
NOBODY famous on social media will approach someone in the comments with a different account, bots that try to imitate popular creators on youtube are very common now, don't fall for any of them.
unless you see them talk about a giveaway on THEIR OWN channel, or THEIR OWN social media account of some sort, then it is not real. always double check everything, PLEASE
The worst part is most platforms don’t let you even report a fake account unless you’re the original
Thanks for speaking out about this issue! These people are gonna try and take advantage however than can! I saw one impersonator a couple of months ago on DA trying to profit off his Art. So, no place is safe from what I can see.
My adult daughter, who is special needs, got a comment like this on one of her comments. We talked through a lot of the arguments you brought up here, and now she can quickly identify that scam. Thanks for sharing and educating people about this.
I still can't wrap my head around the idea of how people can do this to others who sincerely cares. Idk how they sleep at night. I have a relative who threatened to steal my artworks and sell as nfts because I kept refusing to work with them. It's seriously frustrating at this point...
Thanks for the tips I really appreciate it❤
Happy to help!
I'm a creator and an artist....but not like anywhere close to the super talented people you talk about....you're just so entertaining!!!
I just got a message from a scammer pretending to be one of my favorite RUclipsrs and your video helped thanks.
At first I didn't read the "fake" in the title and my jaw dropped D:
I'm glad you bring this up because it was disrespectful to those people who were using sam's work to AI making his artwork look like a bootleg version 💔
Love your videos so much!
omg thankyou so much! i'm glad you enjoy them!
THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING THIS 🙌 I've seen so many other popular YTer's like penguinZ0, CinnamonToastKen, and VivziePop have their comment sections filled with the EXACT SAME messages, replying to almost every single person commenting (my guess is the comments w/ more likes so that they can be seen by more people, from what I've seen). Scammers are literally some of the worst kinds of people on Earth who have nothing better to do in their life ugh
Great video as always, Mohammed 💟
I've been seeing those comments now on basically every channel I watch that has a certain amount of following. I just report them by now, but it's really annoying when you see a notification, and it's just a scammer trying to get your attention.
I've seen lots of these scams on lots of different RUclips channels lately! Though I would think that you would talk about the problem that DA just pulled a few days ago with training an AI program on their artist without telling them.. yeah that happen!
me realising the scammer joined on my birthday is something i never expected
as in the day the account was created
Thank you for the awarness
I find it so hard to believe that anyone born in the digital age falls for this and then they do...
I hate this so much, it makes me kinda scary to keep posting my art if I think that one day people could pretend to be me and scam whoever is supporting me
It’s also scary to partecipate in challenges, ugh
I've seen those scams pop up even in my own comments but didn't get roped in
That thumbnail and title almost had me on the first half ngl 💀
For imgur, same deal as yt, check the about page. Also, read the comment history. Generally scam accounts do not have any human-like interaction in their comments
There is a whole wave of this scam all across RUclips
0:56 That is VERY eerie....That same thing happened to me! It's shown on the only video on my channel. But I was and still am suspicious of telegram
unfortunately, these scammers are everywhere and it's annoying, fr
Wow, this is so sad. People are sick😧😞
I feel like at least for a while, it would really help if youtube added a system where you can manually block names with certain words in them from commenting or instantly report/flag them. I saw a comment deletion bot years ago but if you were just able to delete accounts with the word "Telegram" or things similar to it you could so easily fix this problem, at least for like a month
This is reminding me of how a friend of mine got hacked and started telling me I was gonna get ip banned on steam (I didn’t have a steam account). Eventually they sent a link to a steam mod, it was the actual steam mod account, not a fake. The comments below were talking about how there’s someone on discord impersonating them and things like that. I was already quite suspicious but that made me go yep my friend was in fact hacked (they also talked very different than they normally did and struggled with English even tho they were very fluent in English.). The whole situation is very dumb and I hope my friend managed to get their account back.
this is something that has been going on on like EVERY damn channel I come across.
there's at least one account pretending to be the actual person trying to scam people into some kinda "giveaway"
One common mistake of scammers are wrong spelling and grammar. Like, no matter how 'official' their look is on their webpage or emails, you can always see one tiny bit of wrong spelling or grammatical error. Take a look at the message shown in the video:
1. Instead of Congratulations! They wrote 'Congratulation'
2. And who's professional enough to say on a winner 'Come on!' And they even get the spelling wrong😂
i seen comments in other videos on this topic and they assume some of the obvious signs the accounts are fake are intentional. it's designed to target the most gullible people and avoid people that would be skeptical and waste their time
I was about to be scammed by a fake Samdoesart on Sam's last week video. I was told I got a gift and the commenter had Sam's profile. I did not fall for it though cause it was my second encounter ( I learned my lesson). Thank you so much for sharing this video with the art community! it is really a crucial topic.
i've seen this before and this just hurts. Around the beginning of lock down globally, bots with this sort of telegram shrimp popped up and it hurts to see the art community get hit with this. At this point Idon't know whether or not someone is legitimately trying to troll me for a good laugh or trying to phish/scam me.
I've seen that scammer on so many other youtubers vids too, like SMB
That's one of the most common scams nowadays, pm every super big youtuber will have a scambot spamming the comments with it
sam types in all lowercase lol 💀
lmaooo just like i shout in lowercase 💀
Those bots are all over the internet, seriously
The first red flag would be in the first message. Me winning anything. JK, the first red flag is almost always the bad writing. If Telegram, scammer central, wasn't enough. Scammers usually don't structure sentences correctly, or they make spelling mistakes. Like this guy, almost every word having a capital first letter, and not putting space after commas. When its an actual giveaway by a professional, they try to write these "you won" bits neater. xD
Also cmon, I don't even care if you're in the same city as me, the package is not gonna reach me by tomorrow. lmao
As obvious as it might be to most, unfortunately some people do fall for this, otherwise the scammers wouldn't keep doing it.
In conclusion, fuck scammers.
people need to use common sense and just report those channels
like seriously if you get scammed from something that is so obviously fake you deserved to get scammed
(0:54) OMG!! That also happened with Charlotte like 2 days ago!! The exactly mesage to her fans!! She made a video scamming the scammer, where she called the scammer herself! It was hilarious!! But, on another note, that's very creepy and dangerous, they did something similar to me in the MrBallen channel saying that I should contact some weirdo on telegram and that he was referring me for a prize, but it was a fake account...
On the topic of scammers, on tiktok smaller genshin creators sometimes do small giveaways for welkin or even genshin account giveaways. I myself once tried entering one. But like in the video there are shockingly scam accounts that sometimes look pretty legit.It’s harder to tell with smaller creators since they are not as well known and usually can’t exactly be verified, and sometimes these accounts are made on the same day or a day after so they look almost too believable
Im starting to want to text those scammers just to tell them to not scam or somethin.
Ik it wont *MAGICALLY* get rid of their scamming days but I just thought of it just to take a joke out of it.
RUclips promised in October that they will nip away all the scam messages.
So, is it working? For me it's been quiet but only recently.
Holy shit I thought it was the real Sam for a second, I was about to like cry 💀
not just sam but even kooleen ethan backer and lots more had same problems
I got the same messages from different fake youtubers. its so digusting
11:40 I work as a web developer for a company that provides sports game results to the public. We have developed several automated algorithms that pull data from different sources and combine it into our own database. This saves a lot of work that would otherwise have taken many employees and many hours to achieve.
Whoever stole over 300 drawings may as well have just programmed some automate that gets the images, titles, descriptions and such and then creates NFTs. Possibly even publishing them at a predetermined interval.
This has been happening all over RUclips. I comment on videos and get the baits from these people with account names like that. Usually a phone number . . . disgusting . . .
I seen this on 4 separate channels double digit amount of times in two months.
ohh i got these scam messages on my comment too, luckily i just didnt think much of it
these bots are plaguing youtube; the same thing happened to me on another channel. it's insane
I got scammed by a amazon seller selling a broken art tablet I lost 200 dollars
Bro, this even happened on a coryxkenshin video! It said that I won a mac book or some shit and it was a fake acc, and it was on his 30th birthday video as well T-T.
You should cover the the new trend on tiktok where tiktok artist take there art work and to it thru a ai (in lack of a better)
Special Stage from Sonic 1?! 😱 Nice 👍🏿
ayeeeeeeee. You know it!!!!
Unfortunately those telegram bots are showing up under just about every popular RUclipsr's comment section. Best thing you can do is report the bots when you see them...
Hope you'll take on the news on AI booths selling arts on Twitter
This scam is common on all popular RUclipsr channels. Jerry from JerryRigEverything did a great video on it where he engages with a scammer to see how and why they do this.
Bro I literally had to do a double take and thought that the title says how samdoesart scams young artists 💀
I just realized that i missed a scam for side surf a cake artist because I’m dumb and don’t know what telegram is
This is a huge scam on many popular channels. Anytime you see the same avatar but with a name including messaging apps like What's App or Telegram, it is 100% guaranteed to be a scam.
I've received multiple replies like these on different popular youtuber's videos, and I can pretty easily tell they're fake but I'm an adult whose been on the internet for years and its definitely not as easy for younger people to realize right away that its sus :( it sucks that there's people out there who dedicate their time to scam the unaware and vulnerable.
I actually got that from a different artist RUclipsr. Luckily I didn’t give them any information… the first time I asked a question and they didn’t even reply but the second time I didn’t even reply
correct me if im wrong, but on youtube, if the creator of a video replies to or likes a comment, doesn't their pfp appear next to it or say " this many replies from "creator" and others"? On other social media platforms, there is the verified icon to help prevent things like this, too.
If I had a penny for every time a scam account has told me I have won a prize I would have two . Not much but weird that it happened twice .
Everytime I commented on yt those annoying replies are there. Doesn't matter what channel
You high-key turning into an Artworld news page 😂
Bro it's been that way😂. Come think of when was list time he did a art tutorial😂
Big deal these scammers don’t feel embarrassment, let alone 2nd hand embarrassment. I could never
0:55 Of my god I have seen to much of these RUclips comments scams! Under another channel tho, but I still can't understand how someone is getting scamed by these,it's not from the channel, so it is a scam, it should be obvious.
I mean, a good way to check to is if they like your comment, you'll get a "your comment was ❤️ by the creator" type thing and itll show up after the fact on your comment/other's comment.
And any comment from the channel to another comment has the creator's circle image next to the number of replies if it doesn't have that then it's not the creator.
Also good note that was mentioned: if there's "telegram", "whatsapp" or anything other than the channel's name you know its fake. It's a bit harsh to say, but if you can't check the barest thing of a channel name available on the video/post/short you commented on (or generally know what the channel names you comment on are) you're likely getting manipulated or tricked offline as well and should take time to learn online safety as well as other ways to not walk right into scams
