Youtuber Scams The Scammers

A YouTuber with over 90,000 subscribers is giving scammers a taste of their own medicine by exposing them on camera after posing as a vulnerable grandmother.

Youtuber Coffeezilla published a video showing how an alleged NFT scam worth $20 million (roughly Rs. 150 crore) was thwarted before it went to market. The Squiggles NFT project had 230,000 followers on Twitter before being accused of being a scheme perpetrated by serial scam artists.

Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) has identified malicious scams thriving on the platform. Scammers are trying to hijack YouTube channel credentials from people, to use these hacked channels to peddle crypto scams and other malicious content.

The lawsuit appears poised to raise a fresh challenge around the controversial Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which shields Google, Facebook and other internet companies from liability for material that users post on their platforms.
