Bay Area Buggs

I didn't think I needed to make this post but it seems YouTube hasn't taken action on the latest comment scammers. I am doing everything I can to stay on top of these and ban these comments.

This should be obvious but I am NOT doing a giveaway! If you are not sure if it's actually me commenting please look for the verified checkmark next to my name. I would NEVER do a giveaway in my comments.

These are SCAMS, NEVER give ANY information to ANYBODY on the internet. No giveaway will EVER have you PAY to collect your "prize"

If you see these comments please report them, do not respond to them. I hope YouTube steps in and does something about these but this isn't the first YouTube comment scam bots we've seen and they won't be the last.

Please be smart and do not fall for these blatant scams. (Examples of scam comments posted below)

Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you for watching!

It's really the fact that the actual YouTubers themselves have to make PSA's about scammers that says the issue is getting wild.

This could be an idea for another video you and Ryan to do? Just like the clowns and trivia, just scammers instead 👌 Great videos, made me laugh a lot

Scammers are always coming up with something new. The only way I would even think about trusting it is only if you said about doing a giveaway in a video and then made a video of who the winner is and to contact you a specific way. Keep up the great content and thankyou for everything.

This is very common now, most of us easily know how to spot a scammer but some people still don't so thanks for putting out the message when youtube should see this and do something. There are so many youtube channels that go after these scammers and harm their illegal activity and try and save people. Buggs will never try to scam you unless you buy a kilo of parm from the pizza place!

If someone is dumb enough to fall for scams like this, they deserve everything they get. We need to stop coddling and protecting idiots and let nature take its course. Love your videos brother, keep up the good work.

What’s really surprising is that the same people falling for these scams are also allowed to vote, drive and have children.

These types of scams are basically a Nigerian Royalty scam. While most people would be sceptical and most likely ignore it, there are those who will unfortunately become a victim of these types of scams. But all that being said, I will still reply to the scammers. It is a great source of entertainment to me. And thank you Buggs for being diligent enough to actually care about your subscribers.

I heard other YouTubers have disabled certain words from being said in the comments, and it has helped. Maybe that’s something you may look into!
