Scam or nah.

[sandor]

What do you guys think, scam or nah:

This youtuber has a channel with more than 250K subs and he's willing to upload a video about my server on his second channel which has 10K subs and I'm just not sure if he's trying to scam me or just doesn't want me to pay in parts for some reason. What do you guys think? Can any one think of a reason why he doesn't want me to pay in parts?

I would try to look for another person if you are really not feeling safe about this.

on his second channel which has 10K subs

Seems fake... I'd find someone else.

Unless the person has a McM account with decent rep, and has confirmed via the forums that the skype is real, I would demand to use G&S or cancel the deal.

Typically their mcm rep is a good indicator on the path they'll take.

And ALWAYS make sure they prove they are the owner of the channel

As far as i know he doesn't have a MCM account and yeah I was talking to him using his official twitter so I'm pretty sure he's the owner of the channel, thanks for your advice!

If he's the original guy with 250k, I think he's not scamming.

Do you ever wonder how in-secure you are without a lawyer?

about my advertisement.

Yeah I was kind of thinking the same, some one with that amount of subs should earn a lot of money why would he spend his time / reputation scamming me. I could try doing this:

Just making it seem like some one used my account to pay using F & F (Vpn, clear cookies and a few incorrect login attempt) and then if he doesn't make the video just try to contact PayPal and (hopefully) get a refund.

YouTubers are YouTubers, not businessmen. They don't know how this works a lot of the time.

You'd want to pass this one even though it's a big opportunity, I would do a bit of research if he has done any sponsorships in the past... If not... don't go with him.

Also attempt to get into contact with prior sponsors.

Otherwise, try to get someone that has a good reputation with sponsorships and isn't exposed for some dumb shit like faking giveaways (in the recent, if they scammed years ago and they're good now, I would still deal with them)

I think you should go with it, :tup:. If he does not go through with the process I do not see why you would not win the chargeback.

 

[YoloSanta]

um maybe because it's f&f

You can chargeback f&f -.-
Just have to call Paypal.

 

[YoloSanta]

good luck explaining that it's not actually f&f

Better hope you get a good Representative

100% Find someone else & also $100 for 10K subs?! It's overprices af.
