BEWARE youtube giveaway scammers!

So about a few weeks ago, I entered xteeener's Sigma eye pencil giveaway. Then just about a day or two ago, I receive a message through Youtube from her (or so I thought) saying that I won the giveaway. LIES.

It wasn't her. There was just a 1 letter difference in the username, but I was wayyyyy to ecstatic to pay attention to the small minor detail.

Here is the message.

I mean c'mon, this looks so legit. So anyways, as you can see, that person told me to go to a link to enter my info, although I was a bit skeptical about it, I clicked it and it lead to a very sketchy website called "ytgiveaway.com" or something like that and asked you for your youtube username and emai. Like I said, I was kind of suspicious but I still entered those 2 information and when I got to the next "step", I was 100% sure it was a scam. It wanted me to complete those fake "survey/win a blah blah" to prove I'm human. Like whadafuq. Do you think I'm a giraffe.

So that was when I realized it wasn't the person "xteeener". And I wasn't the only one that was targeted, there are tons of other similar stories, so BEWARE!

Have you ever encountered something like this?
