Nothing like a good scare...

I have two YouTube bookmarks. 'My Videos' and 'Comments'. I forgot that I had bookmarked a pirate channel because I was flagging my videos that they were stolen. I clicked on that one instead of my Comments link and seen this



That pirate channel was also using my name but as Race Grooves instead of RaceGrooves

Just the thought of that slows my heart rate!

That would totally give me a heart attack, esspecially if I had your success.

Oh God, that's one of those "heart in your stomach" moments.

Can you even prove that you are the real markkaz and not the imposter??

Do you get some kind of ContentID notification when someone steals your videos or do you have to go looking for them?

 

[TheDutchTexan]

Nope, I had to look for my stolen clips myself. If you are big enough your subscribers will find it and notify you. I am not big enough for that.

I don't have Content ID. I have certain keywords and phrases that i use to search for my content.

I would have definitely lost a few heartbeats! We had a similar scare last year, literally only a few days after I put in my final notice at my old job. We received a scam email saying our YouTube account was going to be terminated. Even though I immediately suspected a scam, I wasn't comfortable until I verified my account was in good standing and found out others were being scammed as well.

My heart may very well be lying in my hands, if I were to wake up to that.
