😡 Scammers are the absolute worst! If you see comments from them seek and destroy 💪 If there are other techniques to get rid of these guys please let everyone know!
I got scammed when i comented to you on the video about the history of Stratocaster, i reported these scams because they thinked i would get a gift from they ¿just for coment? Anyways i dont know what they want but if they got something from me is just deleting and reporting those scams channels.
I am telling you! These guys are really upping their game. I fell asleep listening to music on Utube. I wake up this morning and people have peppered my messages with emojis and resent them and some were offensive!
IF they spent that amt of time & effort in a real business or a real job, they would have MADE a good amt of money by now! It's kinda like Uber:Good in theory, but turns out to be a scam in the long run!
In fact, I was approached by someone on your channel stating that "I had won". Fortunately, you are a stand up guy, and when I reached back, you were kind enough to respond and inform me that it was not you. I'm very careful these days. Good video.
Google really has a responsibility to take care of stuff like this. Clearly they aren't doing enough. They'll gladly block content providers / guitar instructors for using songs on the pretense of copyright violation and limit people from amazing learning opportunities but do nothing when it comes to protecting its users.
And yet Google gets rid of something extremely useful for viewers, the Dislike Ratio, so that ultra-sensitive TH-camrs don't get their little feelings hurt. Pathetic. And yet at the same time Google lets scammers rob grandmothers of their life savings. Unconscionable.
Thank you Darrell for the heads-up! Love you're channel, hope this helps many to understand that the online world can be dangerous if you're not aware.
Thanks for talking about this on your channel Darrell! Scammers are a problem all over the internet and unfortunately a lot of people get duped. But they also clutter our social media and take some of the fun out it. So we gotta keep fighting back!
I came across these scams on other guitar channels but ignored them. Thanks for taking the time to inform everyone and giving the advice to tackle these lowlifes.
So glad you are addressing this situation. So many youtubers just let these messages ride on their channels sometimes I suspect because the spam comments actually benefit the channel though some of their subscribers are getting cheated out of money.
I had one of these from a comment I left on your channel, I didn't know you could flag them, but I reported it. I'm glad you are bringing this to light. Thanks Darrell!
Thanks for taking time to warn everyone! This actually happened to me where a scammer impersonated this channel saying I won something but I suspected it was a scam as there was incorrect English in their dialogue used.
Russians DON'T learn English at school any more! Putin banned it and many native dialects in his attempt at cultural genocide, by Russifying everything!
Thanks Darrell. Great video and tips about how to turn them in. They had me going, but when it came to the "all you need to do is choose which shipping option you'd like to purchase" I knew it was a scam. In retrospect, they also weren't nearly as upbeat and engaging as you are, and that did raise some flags for me, but those P-90's were calling to me and I played along for too long. They didn't get any money out of me though. I also reported them to Telegram, but that place is so crammed with scammers apparently, I can't imagine they have the smarts to do anything about it. Really, more TH-cam hosts should be covering this criminal behavior, and TH-cam needs to take it more seriously.
Great info. Darrell. I was approached with a scam a few months ago on another guitar channel. The scammer was obvious to me so no harm done, and the real owner took the right steps to flag the scammer.
Thank you Darrell... I am an older subscriber...who knows enough about computers to get into trouble...I appreciate the heads up...you're a good man...with a great channel!
Thanks for this. I had a person try this using your show. They were good and engaged in messages and really hook you. I was told you had a gift, then talked about the show, types of guitar, etc. It went back and forth for several hours. BUT, 1. I was tipped off by the gear-know your gear people. It was odd based on the model they were giving away, the reasons why they were giving it away, and model specifics. 2. They asked me to pay for shipping. I have entered contests on youtube and it is always stated DO NOT PAY FOR SHIPPING and THEY DO NOT ASK YOUR FOR ANY MONEY.
Ah, they're both Bezos owned SCAMS, that make the users the PRODUCT, who's information is sold to the actual CONSUMERS of 'social' media...the corporation's and their advertisers.
Wow, that’s crazy! I’m subbed but saw this video show up in my referral stats so I was hoping my channel wasn’t compromised! There is some scammer who’s taking my daughters content and re-uploading as her own. We’ve sent 3 of these complaints to TH-cam and they just tell her that HER channel can be deleted if it’s a false claim. I imagine YT is drowning trying to keep up with all of these scams.
Thanks so much for the heads up Darrell! Hopefully we can all do our part to try and put a stop to this. I enjoy your channel and 100% honest opinion at all times. We as guitarists and musicians appreciate your hard work and dedication to your community! Cheers from a fellow Canadian my Friend!
Thanks for this DB! You are a good dude for taking your time to inform those who are the scammer targets. The old sayings like “too good to be true” are just that and is def the best advice.
I very rarely leave comments so I had no idea this was happening. It’s a shame things like this happen, but I really appreciate you addressing the situation. Hopefully the more people know about this the quicker it can be reported and stopped.
Great move making such video. I reported those scammers before, idk how TH-cam reacts to those reports, but information is a very powerful tool. Great job!
Thank you for the refresher on how to report a channel using that channel's page and about information. I've been reporting them, but sometimes I haven't been able to get the drop-down menu to report, so this reminder is informative as well as timely, for me anyway.
thanks for posting a video about this man. its absolutely awful that people are doing this but thank you for warning your fans and being a great guy. Take care and keep on rockin'
This just happened, or is happening to me right now on Mary Spender's channel. I was the alleged winner of a PRS guitar just as you're telling us. So glad I saw this! THANK YOU!
Love the video. Scammers of all kinds can be largely taken down with two simple questions: 1. Was I expecting this email/call/communication? If the answer to this is no, don't respond or just hang up the phone and call the company in question back on their number. Be sure to wait a little while or call back on a different phone as when you hang up, if the other party doesn't you risk getting connected right back to them. 2. Does this seem too good to be true? If the answer to this is yes, avoid it unless you know the source to be totally trustworthy.
This happened to me at the Casino Guitar site when they were giving away a Silver Sky. I called Baxter personally to let him know. I thought it was a case of scammers gonna scam. I had NO idea I could do all this to make their lives miserable. Appreciate the heads up. I'll do this next time.
Hey Darrell. I hope you're well and happy. Thank you so much for making this video. I love this channel and I'm subscribed and this is one of the most considerate videos you've made. We all love to think we've won something for nothing, it's human nature, and there are some really vicious algorithms that prey on people. I wish more TH-cam channels would make similar videos to shame these scammers. Greeting from England 🏴 and peace to Canada 🇨🇦
Good to know, thanks; recently bought a Epiphone LP Special II, after your reviews and comments. Sadly, the action is terrible and I cant keep the E string tuned. Taking it back when I have time and hope that the issue can be resolved
Hey Darrell, thanks for addressing this. As you said, if it seems too good to be true, then it most certainly is not true! Thanks for showing us how to flag these people. Keep up the great work mate!
It's true. I report these scammers all the time but TH-cam does nothing. Meanwhile if I say anything that doesn't agree with their political agenda they erase my comment
I stop commenting because I'm tired of scammers placing response comments which irritates the H....out of me. I report them and I just don't have any confidence that TH-cam is doing anything to them. Thanks for putting this up.
Great info Darrell, I have seen lots of these scams and tell everyone beware, but it's always better coming from a respected channel like yours. Keep up the great videos.
The sad truth is that even though I've marked probably 50 of these types of scams as spam, TH-cam just reinstates them within 24-36 hours. TH-cam doesn't give a 💩 about the problem.
I have to admit, they got me for about a split second on the Revstar video. I thought maybe there was going to be a raffle or something for the manufacturer provided guitar. But they failed because it asked me to DM and I didn't even know what Telegram was.
Super cool of you to bring attention to this matter, it's very dangerous for people to fall for these scams. On a parallel note, now, it's been quite some time since your last Q+A vid. Are there any plans for a new one?
I had a serious conversation with one person. I never thought scammers would be taking over TH-cam....and yea, I told him: "Yu're just anoter scammer." He got 😠...hahaha I have been following this channel for 7 yrs and that was the weirdest thing ever happened...Losers are all around to devour others and live by stealing. Thanks 2 you, Darrell for the clarifications.
Wait...you mean to tell me that a Nigerian Prince is NOT your first cousin and that they won't be sending me Eric Claptons "Beano" Les Paul for the $10,000 I sent them??? DAMMIT!
It's crazy what these scammers are doing. I've had to deal with them on my channel too and it sucks. I can't believe that TH-cam can't stop this some how.
I had a friend who would ask scammers to verify product specifications.... which led to some hilarious products - such as a vintage Gibson solid-body ukulele with the rare hidden 5th string.
Aloha Darrell! That 1st one, that suckin’ clown can’t even phrase English properly. You get a feel by the grammar used as well. Mahalo nui loa for sharing Darrell!
Well done Darrell. In my limited experience, these scammers advertise that they take PayPal, but when you go to checkout the option disappears. I use PayPal for all my internet purchases and have never had a problem, touch wood!
I've been scammed on a givaway video on Kris Barocsi's channel, that was a very sad experience. GOOD TIP: they will ask for dodgy payments for "shipping costs" (or stuff like that) like Steam cards, but if you understand that it's a scam, pretend you didn't notice and insist to get an IBAN, ABA or SWIFT code for a bank transfer. They will provide it in the end when they realize it's the only way to spill you money. If you get one of those codes, finding their identity is really easy and you'll just need to provide it to the police.
I was wondering when you were going to get around to addressing this. Nice one Darrell i thought you were going to ignore it but kudos to you for taking the time to tell less suspicious minds.I have reported everyone that has appeared in the comment section, i hate theives with a passion.
This has been going on for several month's. I have been told no less than six time's I won a guitar after leaving comment's here. Guitar Max and Trogly were having the same problem. Hopefully we will see less of this in the future. I really love watching guitar related channel's and they're making people not want to comment so they won't be dealing with scammers. Anyway, I really enjoy your video's and let's hope they stay off your channel.
Tons of different scams on yt. This is just one of them. I've seen supposed links to bitcoin giveaways to weird suggestive named commenters to guitars to links to other TH-cam channels. It's been going on for like 2 or 3 years. It's BAD
😡 Scammers are the absolute worst!
If you see comments from them seek and destroy 💪
If there are other techniques to get rid of these guys please let everyone know!
Well I'll never have to worry about this. I never win anything Haha
Yeah, will do! So.., when are those guitars I won coming?
I got scammed when i comented to you on the video about the history of Stratocaster, i reported these scams because they thinked i would get a gift from they ¿just for coment? Anyways i dont know what they want but if they got something from me is just deleting and reporting those scams channels.
You know you've made it when scammers start imitating you.
Well, to be fair, TH-cam is run and owned by scammers. Your honest, upfront videos are not the norm on this platform, either.
It's super cool of you to actually take time and inform people of these scammers. Keep rockin' brother.
I am telling you! These guys are really upping their game. I fell asleep listening to music on Utube. I wake up this morning and people have peppered my messages with emojis and resent them and some were offensive!
Thanks for the alert Darrell. We all need to be hyper vigilant in this era of fraudulent activity across all platforms.
Thanks for doing this Darrell! Completely speaks to your professionalism and concern for your viewers. Bravo!
This is a real problem that's escalating. Thanks Darrell for highlighting this for people.
It’s pretty sad people stoop to these levels. Thanks for acknowledging the issue. I know it’s not the kind of content anyone wants to make.
IF they spent that amt of time & effort in a real business or a real job, they would have MADE a good amt of money by now! It's kinda like Uber:Good in theory, but turns out to be a scam in the long run!
In fact, I was approached by someone on your channel stating that "I had won". Fortunately, you are a stand up guy, and when I reached back, you were kind enough to respond and inform me that it was not you. I'm very careful these days. Good video.

Or saying 'hurtful' words, but won't block terrorist atrocities or scam artists ripping off millions of $!
Google blows
Thank you Darrell for the heads-up! Love you're channel, hope this helps many to understand that the online world can be dangerous if you're not aware.
Thanks Darrell , you are the only one on You tube letting people know about these lowlife criminals and how they're operating .
Thanks I been seeing this crap on Facebook I always put scam below it !! Love your channel man !! Rock on !

They watch your channel, **** they are trickier than most *****. BEWARE
Great info. Darrell. I was approached with a scam a few months ago on another guitar channel. The scammer was obvious to me so no harm done, and the real owner took the right steps to flag the scammer.
That is one mad Canadian. Thanks, Darrell for all you do.

Darrell i have ideas for you on how to evade these with tools already built into TH-cam! Happy to share, it’s all in the TH-cam help center

Speaking of scams and guitars.... If someone tries to sell you a Gibson and it's in tune and the neck isn't cracked, IT"S COUNTERFIT! Be careful.
YAY!!! Thank you so much for addressing and exposing this scam!!!
I thought initially this was going to be about that dodgy Les Paul you reviewed a few years back.🎸
Thanks for the heads up!
I'm still waiting on my Music Man Darrell! haha jk.
Hey man, if you don't get that Music Man, start playing without it. 😁
This is great! There are some people on my friend list who seem to often fall for scams. This will be helpful for them.
Glad you addressed this Darrell. These bums responded to a few responses I made on some of your videos.
Thanks for doing this Darrell, I hate those fake notices!
Seeing Darrel pissed is awsome.
thanks for posting a video about this man. its absolutely awful that people are doing this but thank you for warning your fans and being a great guy. Take care and keep on rockin'

Thank you Darrell! This is very thoughtful
You're a good man Darrell! Thanks for your great channel and your great work and care for people.

HOW do you feel? LOL!
Thanks for letting us know about this stuff Darrell we need to stay on top of it
Thanks, Darrell. Good information for everyone. It's the wild west.
It happened with me ! He was saying you've won a Les Paul guitar.
Wait...you mean to tell me that a Nigerian Prince is NOT your first cousin and that they won't be sending me Eric Claptons "Beano" Les Paul for the $10,000 I sent them??? DAMMIT!

Well done Darrell. In my limited experience, these scammers advertise that they take PayPal, but when you go to checkout the option disappears. I use PayPal for all my internet purchases and have never had a problem, touch wood!
Weird I mainly watch videos about scams and videos about guitars....this was both! Good tips - I hate scammers
Tks for the heads-up. I'll be on guard from now on.
I've been scammed on a givaway video on Kris Barocsi's channel, that was a very sad experience. GOOD TIP: they will ask for dodgy payments for "shipping costs" (or stuff like that) like Steam cards, but if you understand that it's a scam, pretend you didn't notice and insist to get an IBAN, ABA or SWIFT code for a bank transfer. They will provide it in the end when they realize it's the only way to spill you money.
