I've seen scams for BTC, ADA and ETH. They all impersonate the channels they visit and choose names that vary slightly from the original or use a clever disguise like "pinned by The X Channel" in the comment section. The use of foreign accents, like an accent ` on the letter i instead of a dot, and other punctuation marks will also hide their impersonation to the casual observer. Report them to YouTube as spam and within a few days they come back with yet another variant of the original channel name. It must be working because on one channel I follow I saw more than 10 variants before I stopped reporting them. Then there are the 2 for 1 exchange scams, but I don't have to tell this audience about those. Seems YT is becoming the crypto scam capitol of the world. Cheers!
Thanks for the heads-up. Sorry about Prince, it's great that you rescued another pup.
Why do these morons think that anyone who follows you would be stupid enough to fall for it. They are not hitting their target audience IMO
