Oh, wow. I won a contest I didn't enter. Alls I gots to do is text them to collect my prize. I bet you'd like to know my bank account so that you can deposit the money, right?

On one of the channels, the one from three days ago, the channel owner even posted a video warning people of scammers in the comments section.

I got this too.

For those who don't know many times these people get their scam text to look like the the youtube chancel that you are watching.

So like if had a Youtube call CJ's Catgirl Review.

You might comment on my one of my videos and under it . It would be something like Text back blah blah @ CJ's Catgirl Review, while using my avi and other branding

Most of those ads are personalized. They are giving you what google thinks you want.

I always get the Amazon scammers. The ones who know exactly when you are looking through Amazon and text you two minutes later from Ama.Zon offering you discounts and free stuff if you share your info.

That's why I set up a macro to cycle through several French sites once per day while AFK.
Makes it easier to identify when you can't understand them.

I mean, in most instances it's true, but the occasional random ad slips through.

Yea this is a new bot tactic. I've seen it on a bunch of channels. Most people know it's fake but they only need that 1 percent or whatever, to fall for it

I get Wolt or Bolt or whatever often and I've never once used it. I haven't ever used any such service. I almost never even order food. It's so weird.

I think some are universal

I get Raid Shadow Legends and that shitty new MMO I forget what it's called all the time and I think that's just because I've watched videos connected to "gaming"
