#PayPal #Spam #Ingenuity I'm sure many---if not most---people here have seen fake 'fishing' PayPal emails about 'your account has been restricted for' yada yada etc. and you are supposed to click a link to take you to 'PayPal' to 'fix' the problem, at which point when you enter all the info in the fake site your info is now in the hands of the enemy. Now, I LOVE messing with spammers---it is one of my favorite pastimes and I do it every chance I get. So, even though I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT DO THIS, I clicked the link. I like going there and entering a bunch of bogus information so when the spammer thinks they 'hooked a fish' and try to enter the info to access the real account, instead they get a message saying the account does not exist and I have managed to waste a bit of their time. Bluntly put, fuck them. But today, when I clicked the link, it took me to a YouTube video instead of a fake site. I can only assume this is a schneaky way for someone to considerably increase view counts on their video, but I gotta give them mad props for ingenuity. They sure did get one out of me.

They can do everything to spam you first is only video and we don't know what next.
earlier this morning I also encountered a fishing email requiring me to change my contact number for my online banking account and I did clicked the link and provided the details. Good thing my app prompted for the suspicious activity and I quickly changed my password. You seem to enjoy messing with spammers.😁
You have way too much fun with this sort of thing. But I like it. It is also highly entertaining. So, you saying you might have gotten suckered into helping a YouTuber? Who got one on who, here? lol
