Seen any ads on YouTube lately centering on a giveaway with an image of “MrBeast” stating that you will get a large sum of money (namely $10,000) if you click on a link that the ad provides in the description?

Maybe don’t click on those links?

There may be a possibility that those ads are being thrown around on random videos in order to entice people to click the links and are run by either an imposter or a group of imposters who want you to think that they are “MrBeast”.

So, I came across these types of ads as I was watching some random videos on YouTube around the end of April before the start of May. I didn’t click the link of course because let’s be honest, there’s no way in hell I’d fall for a scam like that.

At first, you may think that these ads are being pumped out by “MrBeast” himself, but this video and I are here to tell you that it is not. Almost everyone on YouTube has had at least several moments where they have encountered an imposter or a group of imposters who try to impersonate them to cause trouble like spreading malware and hiding them in suspicious links to trick fans both young and old into clicking the links in question. New users may not necessarily experience imposters of themselves yet, but as time goes on, there may be a time when such a thing will happen.

If you happen to come across an imposter trying to pass themselves off as someone who you think they are or who they want you to think they are, don’t click on the links in their comments. Report their comments as spam as well as their accounts immediately.

Of course, I’m not the only one sounding the alarms on this issue. There have been several others who have posted videos about this whole scam involving ads that look like they’re coming from “MrBeast”, but in reality are made by an imposter or a group of imposters trying to pretend to be him in order to steal your personal information.

If you’re one of the unfortunate few who have clicked the link to see if they’ll get $10,000, chances are you won’t get that much money. You’ll get either less than $10,000 or none at all.

Also, don’t destroy your electronics just for the sake that an imposter pretending to be someone else is going to give you a shit ton of money. Chances are you won’t be getting that money at all and you’ll have wasted money that was spent on that device in question. Several young children have fallen victim to an imposter pretending to be “MrBeast” and the likely outcome is that they’re either confused, angry, or upset after they followed what the imposter said.

To summarize this video:

* If something sounds “too good to be true”, then it is likely a scam.

* Don’t destroy your electronics just because someone says they’ll give you a large sum of money if you do. There’s a possibility you won’t get that money at all and you’ll have a ruined device in the process. PCs and gaming consoles are not cheap unless stated otherwise.

* Don’t click suspicious links.

* If you see an imposter either on your video or someone else’s and they try to entice people with suspicious links, report them!

That is all.
