I don't know if there are any failsafes to keep companies/people from doing it, but I think the YouTube algorithm is pretty good at catching and deleting such things.

I got the same email from them early this morning. I checked the stats and I could see the fake views. They chose two videos that were not getting many views on my channel and said they would add 2,000 each. The website they are using was created with GoDaddy last month. I am almost to 100,000 subscribers and this kind of stuff scares me. I reported them to youtube (no response yet); however I am afraid to respond to the company (if you can call them one) because I don't want them to sabotage my channel. There are a lot of horror stories on the internet about channels getting banned after similar things happened to them. It is hard to believe that youtube does not offer better support to deal with this stuff.
