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.

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.

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!

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.

Thanks for being so active, I kept getting those comments on my comments on your videos but i always ignored them, thankfully i'm well aware of scams/scammers and their tactics, but others may not be, so it's good that you are calling attention to them for those who may not be. I would always check for the verification symbol next to your name before i assume anything beyond a scam, as you said, that's the best way aside from reporting them. YouTube needs to do better and be more pro-active in removing these scam accounts/comments to keep both the creator and viewers safer. I've had a few scammers post links on my videos as well, and I advise anyone who sees them to do the same, report and don't interact.
